Verdict

COSMIC FIRE (7) sets up well fourth-up and down in the weights. Has proven versatile with her speed and maps to blend in at just the right time. Has been freshened with a month between runs and can give this a big shake. EPIC PROPORTIONS (2) has mixed his form since joining the QLD ranks but boasts strong peaks. Maloney reuniting is a bonus. BRAVE MONARCH (1) is a talented gelding resuming for the Munce camp. Faces quite the task from barrier 15 under 132lbs but has plenty of X-factor. Not writing off. BLAZING HARRY (11) rises sharply from Benchmark grade but gets in a treat at the weights and is in red-hot touch. Thompson's booking signals confidence. LET'SFACETHEMUSIC (8) is as consistent as they come and boasts strong form references. Is sure to put his best foot forward again.

7	Produced a sound third in a 3yo+ Benchmark 94 at Rosehill, beaten three lengths by Lisztomania at generous odds after being bumped in the straight. Two back he was last at Doomben behind Epic Proportions but beaten only two and a half lengths, so the bare position was harsher than the margin. Peaking now and will be hard to stop under the light weight. 1st Pick 7 Cosmic Fire Jockey: Cejay Graham Trainer: Billy Healey J: Cejay Graham T: Billy Healey	93	-	-	-	12%

2	Went within a long neck of Polyglot in Open company at Doomben two weeks ago, holding his position strongly after racing prominently and starting near the top of betting. His previous eighth to Taltarni Fields was plain, but he has three wins from eleven at 6f and one win from one Listed start. First look at Toowoomba is new, but he brings one of the stronger profiles. 2nd Pick 2 Epic Proportions Jockey: Ryan Maloney Trainer: Ciaron Maher J: Ryan Maloney T: Ciaron Maher	178	-	-	-	5%

1	Returns from a lengthy spell after a strong winter campaign, finishing fourth in the G3 Fred Best Classic over 7f at Eagle Farm when beaten two lengths as favourite and striking interference midrace. The start prior he won the G2 Queensland Guineas over 1m on heavy ground, beating Tupakara. Wide draw is the query, but the class is clear. 3rd Pick 1 Brave Monarch Jockey: Martin Harley Trainer: Chris & Corey Munce J: Martin Harley T: Chris & Corey Munce	119	-	-	-	29%
