Toowoomba Race 6 - Empire Of Japan (Bm70)
ROYAL BOMBADIER (6) has a solid record at this circuit with a win and two seconds from five spins and will be rock-hard fit for this contest. Gets in well at the weights with the 2kg claim and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. BEWS (1) has only missed a drum once in six fresh attempts, gets a stack of weight relief with the 3kg claim and draws favourably in gate two. Plenty to like about his prospects. The well-related JACKA STANDS ALONE (3) (half to G3 winners Raiment and Tailleur) grows a leg for rider Tilley who has three wins and three placings from just nine steers. Top-three credentials. KINGSLAND (5) is a two-time winner here who strips fitter second-up from the break. In the mix. TAKE A PICTURE (2) next in line while fresh.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation second last of 7 at Eagle Farm Cl6-Sw April 4 over 1200m, 6 len behind Restonica carrying 57kg at $41. Previously first up; third of 12 at Doomben Bm85 October 4 over 1110m, 1.5 len behind Navyonthehighway carrying 57kg at $19. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Everything points to a bright return.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming ran last of 10 at Sunshine Coast on June 21 over 1400m, on a slow track; 14 len behind Rustemo carrying 58.5kg at $19. Last start raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 9 at Sunshine Coast on July 12 over 1400m, slow going 5 len behind Italian Riviera carrying 57.5kg at $26. Unlikely to threaten.
