RACE COMMENT
PLANET DOWNS (6) started from an awkward draw last time out at this track and didn’t have the best of luck when getting out late and flashing into second behind Mini Mine Yet. He should be better suited this time from a front row draw and should be able to press forward and race up on speed. MAJOR ARK (7) returns to QLD for a new stable in the stable of Ben Battle. She was beaten a long way in a recent trial but still rated good time herself and was beaten by a very smart 4YO in Final Deadline who is likely to contest the feature races through the QLD carnival.  BLACK GEMSTONE (9) should get a good run off the speed in this race. She was finally able to break through for another win last time out having been in excellent form leading into that win this whole campaign. She stays in the same grade and should run a competitive race again.  PLAYING FOR KEEPS (3) was well supported in the market last time out starting a clear second favourite to Saychelles before running on well late into third. She is a horse that has a nice turn of speed but cant sustain her sprint meaning she often needs a few things to fall into place in her races.
