Queanbeyan Race 7 Preview: Tips, Rated Prices & Pace Map
Queanbeyan Race 7 preview: a fast tempo, In Circles rolling forward, plus Kingsley's top four selections and rated prices against the morning market.
Queanbeyan's $50,000 feature at 4:50pm AEDT draws ten, and the pace map does most of the talking: a fast tempo band, pressure reading at 68.69 per cent, and the field's best cruising speed sitting on the lead.
The race
Race 7 at Queanbeyan on 2026-11-10 is a ten-horse field run on a good surface in fine conditions, with the rail out three metres from the 900m to the 275m and a cutaway applying. It is a race with a clear top end and a long tail — four runners here are resuming or have profiles that our ratings simply cannot defend, which concentrates the contest into a handful of genuine chances.

The pace picture
The tempo band is Fast and the pressure reading is 68.69 per cent, which is a race run honestly rather than a sprint-home. In Circles has a ppir of 1 — the lowest predicted in-running position in the field — so she maps to lead, and she does it carrying the top cruising speed rating of the ten. Flight Sergeant (ppir 2) and Lindos (ppir 3) are the next pair forward, with Highland Lad and Banner Banner filling out the first half of the field.
That shape cuts two ways. It gives the on-pace runners the tempo they want without a rival capable of out-cruising the leader, but at 68.69 per cent pressure it also leaves something for the closers. Burnt Fingers (ppir 7) is the one who benefits most from a solid gallop up front, while Deel Head (ppir 11) and Rawano (ppir 10) are giving the leaders far too much start on these ratings.
Kingsley's selections
His top pick is In Circles (1), rated $2.70 against a $3.30 market this morning — one of the few runners in the race where Kingsley's number is shorter than the market's. Her latest run reads better than the margin: she was forced up five wide early and was still under pressure three deep turning for home. Back to 1460m, with winkers applied for the first time and five placings from seven starts, she is the one who controls this. She is also the Official Tip in the race.
His second pick is On The Fly (4), rated $5.00 against a $3.80 market. She was run down by under a length at Wagga after being taken three wide, this is her trip, and she is three runs into the preparation. Brodie Loy taking the ride is a meaningful upgrade and barrier three has her mapped up on the speed.
His third pick is Burnt Fingers (6), rated $13.00 against an $11.00 market. Fitter for his first-up run and backing up quickly, he is the midfield runner best equipped to pick up the pieces if the tempo tells. The eight-start maiden record without a placing is the honest knock.
His fourth pick is Lindos (10), rated $21.00 against a $14.00 market. She settled a long way back at Hawkesbury and was never a factor; today's map has her third-closest to the speed, and that change of position is the entire case.
Note too that Banner Banner (3) is rated $4.20 against a $3.00 market — our assessment has him short, and the trip looks beyond his best.
The metrics
CAM is the composite ability rating, a single number for overall quality. Banner Banner ranks first on CAM, with Burnt Fingers second, In Circles third and Lindos fourth — so three of Kingsley's four selections sit inside the top four on raw ability.
CSW rates class, speed and weight through the clock. Edorado (8) tops it, but he is resuming off seven months, trialled well back at Kembla and is yet to win from ten starts, which is why the rating does not convert into a selection. In Circles ranks second on CSW.
Cruising speed measures the tempo a horse can sustain mid-race: In Circles is first, On The Fly second, Lindos third. Acceleration measures the burst off that cruise, and there Banner Banner ranks first, Burnt Fingers second and Lindos third.
The one-line summary: In Circles is the only runner ranked top three on both cruising speed and CSW, and she is the one who gets to dictate.
Where the market sits
The wider market disagreements are at the bottom of the card rather than the top — Flight Sergeant is rated $67.00 against a $27.00 market, Highland Lad rated $61.00 against a $21.00 market, Deel Head rated $351.00 against an $81.00 market and Rawano rated $451.00 against a $101.00 market.
What to watch: whether Lindos and On The Fly take a sit rather than press In Circles early — if nobody tests her, the leader's cruising edge decides it.
