The Listed Toowoomba Weetwood will headline proceedings at Clifford Park this Saturday afternoon, with a massive nine-race card set down for decision. The track was rated as a Good 4 at the time of acceptances; however, with rain forecast on each day in the lead-up, expect the surface to deteriorate into the Soft range by raceday. The rail will be in its true position for the entire circuit, with racing set to get underway at 1:48pm AEST.
Toowoomba Weetwood tip: Yellow Brick
Yellow Brick will return from a 16-week spell in the feature race of the day, with the benefit of a strong barrier trial win over 860m at Gatton under his belt. The Tony & Maddysen Sears-trained gelding was last seen winning the Listed Spear Chief Handicap at Eagle Farm before going out for a break. Although the son of The Mission has to give his rivals 3kg or more in this contest, he is class horse of the race and should have no troubles carrying the weight. If James Orman can settle in the first four, Yellow Brick will prove very hard to beat.

Toowoomba Cup tip: Red Wave
After clashing with a number of his rivals at Doomben over 2000m last start, Red Wave from the Tony & Maddysen Sears stable will contest the Toowoomba Cup under better conditions. This son of Red Dazzler was slightly held up inside the eventual winner on the home turn before getting out late to finish off strongly and nab third place behind Caboche and Tidal Creek. With his main market rivals drawing wide barriers, Ryan Maloney can find the box seat from barrier three, and if Red Wave gets even luck from the 400m mark, he can flip the script and go a couple better.

Best Bet at Toowoomba: Rich Minx
Rich Minx has been ultra-impressive in her two recent victories, winning by a combined margin of 13.3 lengths at the Gold Coast and Doomben over 1110m and 1150m. The lightly raced Matthew Hoysted-trained mare led the field up in those victories before showing a clean pair of heels to run away from her rivals in the concluding stages. The daughter of Rich Enuff has the early speed to overcome the wide barrier (11) and settle on speed. If Andrew Mallyon can get her to settle early on, Rich Minx should prove too speedy in the final 300m.

Next Best at Toowoomba: Set To Shine
Tony Gollan has Set To Shine humming along nicely this preparation, as the five-year-old mare has won three of her last four starts and finished in the placings in all six of her runs this time in. This daughter of I Am Invincible recorded her most recent win at Doomben over 1350m, where she settled outside the leader and gave a strong kick with 300m to go to claim a half-length victory. Emily Lang has retained the ride, and with the benefit of her 3kg claim and an inside barrier (2), expect her to adopt similar tactics here.
