We've got a rare standalone meeting at Toowoomba this weekend with the running of the Listed Weetwood and the supporting Toowoomba Cup and Guineas.
Queensland racing focusses on Toowoomba this Saturday with staging of the $160,000 Listed Weetwood alongside the $125,000 Toowoomba Cup and the $100,000 Toowoomba Guineas for three-year-olds.
Our best comes up in the Listed feature with us landing on Nettuno out of the Tony Gollan camp at an each-way quote.
The son of I Am Invincible goes well for gun hoop Ryan Maloney who has four wins and a placing from eight rides and is drawn to get a soft run in transit from gate three. Is a Group 3 winner in a past life and should be cherry-ripe for the six-furlong journey on the weekend.
Currently trading around the $6.50W and $2.30P mark and a 1W x 3P type wager could yield dividends.
Our value play lands in the opening event with another Tony Gollan-prepared galloper La Petite Maison jumping out of the inside alley over the sprint trip of 1000m.
This five-year-old gelding has only put in one poor effort in 11 career starts and should be ready to peak now third-up from the break.
He saves his best form for a good surface, which he should get on Saturday, and the $10W and $2.30P on offer looks succulent shopping.
