The Read

Bossed Up
13J: Ryan Maloney · T: T J Gollan

Placed last start, beaten only 1 length. Racing in form.
Eagle Farm specialist: 2 wins from 6 starts at this track.
Consistent winner across 19 starts. Strike rate sits at 26 percent.
Wide barrier 13 of 14 to overcome.
The Read
Bossed Up carries legitimate freshness credentials, with 2 wins from 5 first-up starts, and has a proven track record at Eagle Farm with 2 wins from 6 outings there. The horse is racing in form after a placing last start when beaten only 1 length, and brings a solid 26% career strike rate (5 from 19 starts) into the race. The main thing to monitor is the wide barrier 13 of 14, which will need to be overcome from the outset.
Without Parallel
9⏱️ Trialled well🔧 Cross-over nose band first time.J: Ben E Thompson · T: M J Dunn
Fresh horse excels first-up. 2 wins from 3 starts resuming.
Proven at Eagle Farm over 1200m. 1 win from 2 starts.
Handles soft ground well. 2 wins from 5 starts on soft.
Ben E Thompson riding. 21% above expectation last 100 rides.
The Read
Without Parallel resumes today with a strong record fresh, winning 2 of 3 first-up starts, and comes to the races off an eye-catching barrier trial where it was beaten just half a length. The horse has a 40% career strike rate and knows Eagle Farm well with 1 win from 2 starts at the track over this 1200m trip, which forms the backbone of the case here. Ben E Thompson is in the saddle riding 21% above expectation across his last 100 rides, and the horse has handled soft ground with 2 wins from 5 starts on the surface. The main thing to watch is whether there is genuine speed on the day, as no standout speed figure has been recorded.

Hermanita
J: Courtney Bellamy · T: Chris & Corey Munce
Hermanita has a proven record at Eagle Farm over 1200m (1 win from 4 starts) and is resuming today with a positive fresh record (3 placings from 6 first-up runs). Barrier 1 should allow a soft passage through the early stages. The main thing to watch is whether the horse can translate its familiarity with this track and distance into a competitive performance after time away.
Scud
J: Jag Guthmann-Chester · T: P L Shailer
Scud is resuming today with an excellent fresh record of 5 placings from 6 first-up runs, which is the primary strength here. The P L Shailer and Jag Guthmann-Chester combination has struck 113% above expectation across their last 100 runners, giving real substance to the stable and jockey form. Barrier 2 is favourable for getting a soft run in the race. The concern is recent form, which sits against the positive drivers, so watch how the horse settles and travels in the early stages.
Pocket Full
J: Jace McMurray · T: S W Kendrick
Pocket Full resumes today with a strong fresh record of 2 wins from 5 first-up starts, and brings proven form at Eagle Farm over 1200m with 2 wins from 8 attempts at the track and trip. The trainer is in good form, supporting the case for a competitive showing. The main thing to watch is whether this represents a class move that stretches the horse beyond its recent proven level.
Ser Joh
J: Taylor Marshall · T: R L Heathcote
Ser Joh has a proven record at this track and trip with 2 wins from 7 starts at Eagle Farm over 1200m, which is the clearest form guide available. The horse is resuming today and has shown reliability fresh, placing in 4 of 6 first-up runs, so fitness concerns are minimal. The case leans on recent speed and a class move up in grade as the main rating drivers. Watch the barrier draw closely, as there is no standout speed figure to lean on.
HellTOP PICK⏱️ Trialled well
J: Jai Williams · T: T J Gollan
Hell has a proven record at Eagle Farm over 1200m with 2 wins from 5 starts and handles soft ground well at 4 wins from 11 starts, making today's conditions and track suit its profile. The case leans on its recent speed, having posted one of the quickest time figures in the field at 1.5 seconds under the track average, and it's returning off a winning barrier trial by half a length with a fresh record of 4 placings from 6 first-up runs. Gollan and Williams as trainer/jockey combo are striking 82% above expectation over their last 100, backing up Hell's 35% career strike rate across 23 starts. Watch whether it can convert its evident fitness and form advantage into the winner's circle, as first-up performances can still miss despite solid trial form.
Without Parallel🎯 Next Best⏱️ Trialled well🔧 Cross-over nose band first time.
J: Ben E Thompson · T: M J Dunn
Without Parallel resumes today with a strong record fresh, winning 2 of 3 first-up starts, and comes to the races off an eye-catching barrier trial where it was beaten just half a length. The horse has a 40% career strike rate and knows Eagle Farm well with 1 win from 2 starts at the track over this 1200m trip, which forms the backbone of the case here. Ben E Thompson is in the saddle riding 21% above expectation across his last 100 rides, and the horse has handled soft ground with 2 wins from 5 starts on the surface. The main thing to watch is whether there is genuine speed on the day, as no standout speed figure has been recorded.
Slippin' Jimmy⏱️ Trialled well
J: Corey Sutherland · T: David Vandyke
Slippin' Jimmy brings genuine credentials to this assignment: a 38% strike rate across 21 starts shows consistent ability to win, and the case leans on recent speed (eye-catching 3rd in a barrier trial, beaten only 1.5L) plus a class move up that suits the horse's profile. The trainer is in good form and the horse has proven it can handle soft ground (4 wins from 10 starts) and the 1200m trip (3 wins from 7 starts). Resuming today after a break is not a concern given a reliable fresh record (placed 3 of 5 first-up). The main thing to watch is the barrier draw, which is flagged as a concern, so monitor the gate carefully on race day.
En Pointe🔧 Tongue tie again.
J: Ron Stewart · T: R L Heathcote
En Pointe is resuming today with a concerning first-up record of 0 from 7 starts, though the horse does show some ability to strike once into a prep with 2 wins from 7 second-up runs. The class step up is flagged as a concern alongside barrier placement, while recent form also presents questions about readiness. The main watch point is whether this horse can break its first-up pattern or whether the step in class will prove too much on debut from a break.
Bossed Up⚔️ Danger
J: Ryan Maloney · T: T J Gollan
Bossed Up carries legitimate freshness credentials, with 2 wins from 5 first-up starts, and has a proven track record at Eagle Farm with 2 wins from 6 outings there. The horse is racing in form after a placing last start when beaten only 1 length, and brings a solid 26% career strike rate (5 from 19 starts) into the race. The main thing to monitor is the wide barrier 13 of 14, which will need to be overcome from the outset.
Give Giggles🔧 Tongue tie again.
J: Leah Martyn · T: T J Gollan
Give Giggles returns from a spell with a strong fresh record (2 wins from 5 first-up) and has won 3 from 6 at Eagle Farm over this 1200m trip, a solid proven record at the venue. The horse carries a 31% career strike rate across 26 starts and has shown it can handle soft ground with 4 wins from 12 on that surface. The main thing to watch is the wide barrier 14, which will require a clean run to take advantage of its natural strengths at this track.
