Qld analyst, Luke Bevilacqua breaks down the meeting and provides us with Horses to follow...
Race 1 Tab Venue Mode Hcp 1500m
This looked a bludger of a race quality wise pre-race and after the event I'd suggest there is nothing to say any of these horses will be going anywhere in a hurry.
Race 3 Mount Franklin 2218m
TAAFFEITE started overs here and did a really good job up in grade with the blinkers off. She can perhaps drop back in grade with a claim and be winning a race soon.

Race 4 Madison Cleaning 1200m
The small field lent itself to a very slow tempo here. Worth forgiving the likes of BETTER GET SET and SALATEEN.
Race 7 Clear To Work St Ritas Cup 1200m
GEORGIE'S PRIDE simply did too much work early here setting up a fast overall race. ROYAL WITNESS has been busting to win a race for a while now. Back to 1050m-1100m drawing a gate would be ideal.

Race 9 SpringsocialComAu Hcp 1400m
ENTERPRISE PRINCE was something licked here with Jaden electing to come underneath RED STINA at the top of the straight rather than around. Has he missed his chance to get back in the winner's circle?
Race 10 Sky Racing Hcp 1000m
Love the work of STAMPE past the post here. 1000m was always going to be a touch sharp for him. He will be much better suited at 1200m and beyond. He is an older horse now so he may even get out to a mile this preparation.
