Cloncurry Race 5 - Jbs Australia Country Cups Challenge Qualifier / Cloncurry Cup
DOLLARS (3) has the strongest winning case after putting four lengths on a small Mt Isa Quality field despite being an outside chance in betting and racing wide. He is proven around 1600m, with three wins and two placings from six attempts, and that makes him the one they have to beat. DARK HARMONY (8) is the clear danger, having started odds-on and won by six and a half lengths in a BM60 at Mt Isa, though his lack of a win from eleven runs at this distance means he may be more of a place prospect. DEFERENTIAL (7) brings honest fourths from Longreach and Birdsville, gets significant weight relief from 62kg to 56kg and had excuses wide last time. In the mix. SCORCHED LAND (2) is a reliable place hope after a luckless Longreach second and has already won at this track.

Was posted wide early when ninth at Atherton last start, beaten just over six lengths by Spirit Meister, so there is some reason to be forgiving. His Birdsville win before that was much better, leading throughout and beating Hello World by two and a half lengths at long odds. Proven at 1600m, though this asks for a sharper effort.

Made a sharp statement at Mt Isa last start, winning a Quality over 1450m by four lengths from Zephirine despite racing wide and being an outside chance in the betting. That was a strong rebound from his Coffs Harbour fifth on soft ground, and his record around 1600m is a major asset with three wins and two placings from six runs. Harder company now, but his profile is the strongest in the race.

Ran respectably when fourth at Winton last start, beaten a length and a half by Call Out, but he was narrowly behind Dark Harmony in the same race. His previous third at this venue was five lengths from I Am A Marvel after hanging out near the 800m. Minor claims if everything falls into place.

Was safely held when sixth at Atherton last start, beaten six and a half lengths by Sigiriya Rock after being near the top of betting. His Mackay fifth two back in a Benchmark 65 was also only fair, sitting handy before battling away behind Unifies. Rider record helps, but recent form leaves him with a big task.

Is third-up now but has been plain in two runs this campaign, most recently seventh at Longreach after beginning awkwardly, covering ground and failing to finish off. Before that he was second last in a 3yo+ Benchmark 70 at Ballarat Synthetic at big odds, beaten over 12 lengths by Charming Nic. Would have to turn recent form around.

Had excuses when fourth in a 3yo+ Class 5 at Longreach last start, settling back and racing wide throughout before finishing just over four lengths from Schmoozer. His Birdsville fourth in a Benchmark 65 was solid enough after also racing wide and keenly. The mile remains a query, but he has enough recent honesty for the placings.

Powered away at Mt Isa last start, winning a Benchmark 60 by six and a half lengths from The Wellian as an odds-on favourite. That followed a sound Winton third when wide throughout and beaten just over a length by Call Out. Distance record is not perfect, but he is a major threat.
