Verdict

TARA'S REWARD (1) is the form runner, having won narrowly at Warwick before beating I Am A Winner at this track, and the apprentice claim helps offset the big impost. I AM A WINNER (2) has twice gone under by narrow margins this campaign and has placed at both runs at this venue, so he remains a genuine threat despite again meeting Tara's Reward. IGOTMYMINDONYOU (3) finished fourth last time out over 860m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Sure to be competitive. LADIES OCEAN RUN (7) resumes after six months with an easy Dalby trial win and blinkers for the first time. Well placed and in the mix.

Verdict
Returns from a six-month break after ending her last campaign with a fifth at Warwick, where she led clearly before being swamped late and was noted as keen early. Her Doomben run prior in F Open company was well held. Has upside, but the 860m is new.

Verdict
Comes in chasing a hat-trick after tracking the speed and beating I Am A Winner by a long neck at this track as odds-on favourite. That backed up a narrow Warwick win when an outside chance in betting, so the form has more substance than one result alone. Big weight is eased by the claim and the 860m record reads strongly.

Verdict
Kept on for fourth behind Tara's Reward at this track, beaten three and a half lengths after sitting behind the leaders at generous odds. His previous third at Dalby over 1000m was sound enough, and he has won around this trip before. In the mix.

Verdict
Was fifth first-up at this track behind Tara's Reward, beaten just under four lengths after sitting behind the leaders at generous odds. First-time blinkers are the main fresh angle and she has a prior win plus a placing around 860m. Best 860m form gives her a place chance.

Was safely held when sixth behind Tara's Reward at this track, beaten five and a half lengths at long odds with no obvious excuse. The run prior was much better, winning a BM55 at Gympie by five and a half lengths as favourite. Minor claims if he bounces back.

Verdict
Returns from a lengthy eight-month spell after finishing last at Ipswich in FM Class 1 company, beaten four and a half lengths after leading and weakening late. Her previous Gold Coast run was also only fair when unwanted in the market. Has placed at this venue, but recent race form is thin.

Verdict
Has been well beaten at both runs this campaign, finishing last in a BM55 at Gympie when beaten over 17 lengths after being slow away. Before that she was last in a BM65 at Ipswich, beaten over 11 lengths and unwanted in the market. Weight relief helps a little, but a major form turnaround is required.

Verdict
Back from a two-month break after finishing fifth in a BM55 at Mt Isa, beaten over 14 lengths after jumping awkwardly. He had also been beaten over 17 lengths at Hughenden the run prior, so recent figures are hard to recommend. Has plenty to turn around.

Verdict
Has been beaten a long neck and a neck at his two runs this campaign, most recently when pipped by Tara's Reward at this track after being prominent in the market. He was also brave at Thangool after beginning awkwardly and pressing forward. Drawn wider, but the 860m record and current form make him a live winning chance.
