Redex to continue forward progress at Allman Park
Race 1: 12.44pm, Warwick Hotel 3YO Handicap (Open 800m)
It's impossible to go past REDEX in the opener on Cup day.
The colt was too speedy first-up at Ipswich, and although he only scrambled in by a nose, there was a big gap to third.
He looks like a progressive type destined for better races.
MILLY MUNCHER is trained on-course by Garry Schwenke, and is deserving of a win.
She has placed four times in eight career starts, and has performed well at the Gold Coast and Toowoomba previously.
Although she is yet to place on soft ground, I think she has more ability than a few in this field.
MORE OF MARY is a first-starter out of Onemorenomore, and is a bit of an unknown quality.
Happy to throw her in for multiples and keep an eye on late betting moves.
Sean Teuma: 1-4-5-7
Anthony Collins: 1-4-2-7
Race 2: 1.19pm, Warwick Vet Clinic Handicap (BM60 800m)
CAPTAIN'S ANGEL has been racing very generously of late, and looks to have come on nicely following a win at Kilcoy in August.
Although he hasn't run over the short trip yet, FIVE SPICES is drawn to get a lovely run from the barrier.
His races have been spaced this preparation by trainer Wayne Oakenfull, and is more than capable in the wet.
WHIPERING WINGS is another Schwenke horse entered for the program, and is certainly one for the exotics.
She has a good record on soft ground, and has won her only start over the track and distance.
Sean Teuma: 4-3-11-6
Anthony Collins: 6-3-4-11
Race 3: 1.54pm, Gross Wholesale Meats Plate (Maiden 1100m)
RED MONKEY has a wide draw to overcome, but his form is certainly the pick of the race.
The three-year-old colt has placed at three of five career starts, including a last-start second at Gatton.
This isn't the hardest of maidens, and he will carry 53kg with apprentice Michael Schrapel on board.
It's worth sticking with BUBBA ROCKER after she was beaten by 10 lengths on debut at Toowoomba.
The winner there will go on to win further races down the line, and this mare is trained on course, which will give her an advantage.
KIRA'S BEAT is second-up after running a nice fourth at the Tara picnics, and gets in with just 53.5kg after the claim by Josh Oliver.
She performed well at her third career start over the track and distance, and will give you a sight.
Sean Teuma: 13-5-8-2
Anthony Collins: 3-2-4-8
Race 4: 2.29pm, Tri-Steel Warwick Plate (Maiden 1100m)
HAIKU'S WAY was sent out at triple-figure odds at the Gold Coast last time out, however the filly turned in a great performance, finishing in second after sitting wide without cover.
If she handles the conditions she is certainly the one to beat.
REAL DYNAMITE has the services of Chris Whiteley engaged and the local knowledge of Bill Brown as trainer.
You get the impression he is looking for 1100 metres now, and the eight-year-old is well placed to finally break through.
DONOSTIA STAR has been racing in stronger company at Grafton and the Sunshine Coast, and it certainly wouldn't shock for the mare to come home with the spoils.
The drop in distance back to 1100 metres should see an improvement on her recent form.
Sean Teuma: 14-4-5-1
Anthony Collins: 14-4-1-2
Race 5: 3.04pm, Hutchison Quarries Handicape (Rating 0-60 2000m)
HEART OF A REBEL is partnered by Kenji Yoshida, and is looking to make it back-to-back victories after a strong front-running performance in his maiden at Ipswich.
That was on soft ground, and he looks to get an easy time out in front.
CAPTAIN TREASURE has experience over the longer trip, and is handy on soft going, two big ticks for a race like this, where the class drop will suit.
ROCKY HALO was an impressive winner from the tail of the field at the Killarney Cup meet last month.
He has since recorded an impressive sixth (beaten just 1.6 lengths) at Ipswich over the mile, and he looks like he will be suited by 2000 metres.
Sean Teuma: 3-1-6-8
Anthony Collins: 3-8-6-1
Race 6: 3.44pm, Hire Solutions Handicap (Class 2 1350m)
MARANETTA is from the all-conquering Ben Currie yard, and looks well placed today.
Ignore his second-up run at Ballina, and focus on the fact he has won two from five at the trip, one from three in the wet and can dictate the race from the front.
FINE EYES didn't have much go right last start at Toowoomba, when she bounded in the gates and missed the jump.
She won over the course and trip at the Killarney Cup meeting, and looks a genuine threat to the top-weight.
CASINO GOLD raced more generously at Ipswich last start after a few ordinary ones.
The gelding has a good record on soft ground, and his effort last time out is enough to feature in the finish here.
Sean Teuma: 1-3-7-2
Anthony Collins: 1-2-3-12
Race 7: 4.24pm, Warwick Credit Union Warwick Cup (Open 1500m)
Warwick's signature race has attracted a quality field of 13 over the 1500 metres.
You'd have to be brave to go against top-weight BELFLYER here.
The visitor from Grafton has been in outstanding form, coasting to victory in the Community Cup at Ballina last start, after he was extremely competitive at Ipswich the start prior.
Handles the wet, is aided by Ben Looker, and has had a run at the track.
He ticks a lot of boxes.
JUST AS LOYAL is proven over this distance, and has a good record under hoop Sally Sweeney.
The eight-year-old ran a nice third at a metropolitan meeting at Ipswich last time out, and he looks to be drawn perfectly in gate five.
RHYME NOR RHYTHM is a city-class performer, who has been racing well for trainer Lindsay Hatch.
The only query is whether he can handle the rise in trip to 1500 metres, however he is almost the one to beat if he does.
Sean Teuma: 1-4-2-5
Anthony Collins: 1-2-4-3
Race 8: 5.04pm, Frasers Livestock Transport Warwick Newmarket (BM65 1100m)
The final leg of the quaddie is a tough race to get out on with a capacity field, however I'm hoping DEADLY SHADOW can send us home on a winning note.
The gelding had been racing around the provincials in New South Wales at his last preparation, before moving to the Matt Kropp stable in Toowoomba.
That form is good enough to take out this race.
DAZZLE EM SID is another Kropp runner, however this fellow is the big query.
He finished fifth in the black-type Grand Prix at Doomben at bolter's odds, before failing in the Queensland Derby.
He's the class runner in the race, with a big question mark over the distance.
SEQ THE STAR is in top-form heading into today's program, and is one of the better chances.
The wide barrier is a deterrent, however if Sally Sweeney can weave some magic and put her into a nice position, look for her in the finish.
Sean Teuma: 1-3-6-15
Anthony Collins: 15-6-16-5
Best Bets
Sean Teuma: Redex (Race 1 No 1) - Will start a good things price, but he looks far too good in the opening race on the card.
Anthony Collins: Redex (Race 1 No 1)
Blair Gibson: Redex (Race 1 No 1)
Haiku's Way (Race 4 No 14)
Value Bet
Sean Teuma: Heart Of A Rebel (Race 5 No 3) - With another capacity field, we're hoping to get $6+ for the Kenji Yoshida mount. His form is good and all he needs is a clear run to fight out the finish.
Quaddie
Sean Teuma: The opening and closing legs of the quaddie look the toughest, so be prepared to go a bit wider.
If you want to go skinny, look to Maranetta and Belflyer to carry you through the middle legs, although with big fields, there's always the potential for a roughie to show up at odds.
Leg 1: 3-1-6-8
Leg 2: 1-3
Leg 3: 1-4-2
Leg 4: 1-3-6-15
