Verdict

LOCKYER (4) strips rock-hard fit and is in career-best touch, getting in well with the 7lbs claimer engaged. He's 3/4 over this track and trip and draws beautifully. Only has to hold his form to prove very hard to beat. TWISTED QUEEN (8) is an interesting runner making his debut for the in-form Bruce stable. Showed promising signs in NSW but just struggled to put it all together more often. Big watch off 42 days. CELESTIAL BLAZE (1) returns and is a noted fresh performer. Boasts strong peaks and has been fitted with two solid trials. Sure to be very competitive, even with the big weight. ENFORCEABLE (2) is as true as the day is long. Will race handy under Jones and be poised to pounce when they quicken. Certainly up to it. LAND BANK (3) was too bad to be true last start when finishing last after jumping favourite here. Better than that and Thompson takes back over. Not dismissing. METAPHORICALLY (5) was a dominant winner last start at Ipswich and keeps the 7lbs claimer. In the mix.

4	Form hard to fault. Most recently 4th of 12 in a Bm78 at Eagle Farm on August 29 over 7f, 2 len behind Larrikin Rogue with 128lbs at $5.50. The start before that won by 0.7 len in a Cg&E Cl3-Sw at this track on August 15 over 6 ¾f defeating Meldubious with 129lbs at $3.50. An inside gate is a big advantage. Best form stacks up nicely so worth another chance. 1st Pick 4 Lockyer Jockey: Emily Pozman Trainer: Tony Gollan J: Emily Pozman T: Tony Gollan	221	-	-	-	40%	6/4
