NEXT UP

We're looking earlier on the card for our best bet though and it comes in the form of the Brian Smith-trained Alburq who chased well to miss by a nose here when resuming.

He races well second up and steps out to a distance where he won his lone attempt.

Boris Thornton stays aboard and has built a good association with him.

Improvement is likely and he doesn't have to progress a lot to beat these.

A good each way option comes up in the following event with Beaux Rumble.

Gillian Heinrich's gelding looks close to a win having gone under by narrow margins when placed in both starts at this track since a spell, the latest when beaten a neck over this distance.

He is building a strong record at the trip and won his lone third up attempt so could peak on Saturday.

BRISBANE BEST

BET OF THE DAY: Race 3 #5 Alburq @ $3.00
