Gatton Race 3 - Congrats To 2025-26 Lvtc Winning Premiership Jockey - Brandon Lerena (Bm58)
SCARTOON (9) also resumes, now with Alyssa & Troy Sweeney, and is better judged on her two runs in the middle of last prep. If she returns in similar form she will be right there at the business end. SPIKED (8) is another resuming that has trialled well. Mixed her form last campaign but had strong efforts in there. Not underestimating. TARA'S REWARD (2) is race fit and comes through a Warwick win. No tougher this time so he can win again. I AM A WINNER (4) was unlucky not to return a winner last time but with added fitness second-up he can go one better. Inside alley should see him land cosy and get a good look.

Had excuses when tenth at Warwick last start, jumping awkwardly and being tightened near the 600m before finishing beaten just over six lengths behind Tara's Reward. Her previous Ipswich second in a Benchmark 65 on soft ground, beaten just over half a length by Medals, is a far better guide. Her Ipswich second gives her a sound place chance if she rebounds.

Comes off a deserved Warwick win, sitting behind the leaders before finishing strongly to beat Chat Mignon by a neck at generous odds. That backed up a sound Ipswich fourth in a Benchmark 65, beaten just over a length by Medals on soft ground. Race fit, claiming weight and clearly among the winning hopes.

Won a small-field Benchmark 50 at Collarenebri last start, beating Maxandus by a length and a half, but this is harder coming from picnic grade. The run prior was a major concern when last at Gold Coast in a Class 1, beaten over 16 lengths behind Metal Man at generous odds. Has to prove that form transfers here.

Resumed with a close Thangool second, pressing on to lead and fighting on before being beaten a neck by Zedari while near the top of betting. That was much better than his Esk eighth in a Benchmark 50, where he raced wide throughout with 65.5kg. With added fitness he can get the bob.

Kept his form ticking over when third at Dalby, beaten two and a half lengths by Zavega after being close enough in a provincial race that looks a little stronger than this. Worth considering.

Arrives off consecutive Gympie Benchmark 55 wins, most recently beating Amphawa by five and a half lengths as favourite after also scoring over the same rival two back. The issue is that he comes from picnic grade into a harder race, so the strength of that form is open to question. Deserves respect.

Resumes after eight months off with a Toowoomba Inner Track trial win, which gives her return a useful base. Her two most recent runs were both in Benchmark 65 grade at Toowoomba, finishing fifth each time and beaten six and a half lengths then three and a half lengths. Form before the break is good enough for this and she rates a genuine hope fresh.

Resumes after three months off for a new stable, and her last-start Sunshine Coast 2yo Open failure is more forgivable than it looks after she jumped awkwardly and raced wide throughout when unwanted in betting. Two back she led and was beaten only two and a half lengths by Zia Maria in the same grade on soft ground. Last run had excuses, while the prior Sunshine Coast effort reads well for this.

Returns from a five-month break after two plain runs, the latest a Warwick Benchmark 55 last when beaten over 11 lengths behind Zavega despite some early and mid-race trouble. She was also last at Gatton two back over 1100m after leading and weakening late. Must improve sharply fresh.

Went close at Talwood last start, finishing second in a Benchmark 50 and beaten just over half a length by Matchsticks after being an outside chance in betting. That was a clear turnaround from her Warwick last two back, where she was beaten over 14 lengths at long odds. The weight drop is helpful and she's an each-way chance.
