Verdict

BARBRAY (11) has hit the ground running since taking his talents north. Hasn't had much luck lately chasing from tricky spots but is drawn to get all the favours this time. THE LOUVRE (7) is another in-form runner who sets up well down in the weights. Draws alongside the top pick and will be in this for a long way. MIRRA IMPACT (9) could land in a tricky spot from the low draw but has the turn of foot to cause a big scare if the gaps appear and the pace is genuine. BEAU DAZZLER (1) was far from his best resuming at Eagle Farm but faces an easier assignment second-up and gets a key booking in Thompson. Not taking lightly. CAPITAL ASSET (2) has good early toe and should take hold of the lead. Will prove tough to reel in if left alone through the middle.

11	Had genuine excuses when fifth to Liberty Park in a Doomben Benchmark 78, beaten a length and a half after missing the start and being held up in the straight as favourite. His previous Eagle Farm fourth behind Livalittle was also sound, closing from well back on soft ground. Easier grade and light weight make him the benchmark. 1st Pick 11 Barbray Jockey: Taylor Marshall Trainer: Chris Waller J: Taylor Marshall T: Chris Waller	138	-	-	-	39%

7	Continued a strong local campaign when beaten a nose by Burleigh Magic in a Benchmark 70 at Toowoomba after starting favourite and copping a bump near the ¾f. He had beaten Madalsa here by two and a half lengths the run before, also as favourite. Class rise is the query, but he is a key chance. 2nd Pick 7 The Louvre Jockey: Les Tilley Trainer: Lyn Baskett J: Les Tilley T: Lyn Baskett	110	-	-	-	39%

9	Was plain enough when fifth in an Eagle Farm NMW over 1m, beaten four and a half lengths after being near the top of an open market. His Doomben fourth two back was better, coming from well back and making ground despite racing wide and being forced wider on the turn. Last run was only fair, but this setup keeps him in the place mix. 3rd Pick 9 Mirra Impact Jockey: Gary Geran Trainer: Corey & Kylie Geran J: Gary Geran T: Corey & Kylie Geran	143	-	-	-	19%
