Gympie Race 4 - Delma Gill Memorial Mdn Plate
JOSEPHINE'S BOY (2) has the most reliable profile among the main hopes, with a third at this track last start after being close enough in betting and prior experience around this distance. He was behind HYDRATING at Eidsvold two runs ago, but he has since placed at this venue and brings the race fitness to make that form count. HYDRATING (5) is a clear danger after running second to Moonspell at Eidsvold and she had been held up late when fourth at this track the run prior, although her record around 1170m is the main reservation. LUSTFUL BELLE (6) returns from a five-week let-up off a solid Talwood second where she was bumped early and raced wide, and her previous placing around this distance keeps her firmly in the mix. MOONLIGHT ODYSSEY (3) has been plain at Gatton at his past two, but the quick back-up, apprentice claim and repeated placing form across the past 12 months give him enough substance for minor money.

Was fourth at this track last start but was beaten over 13 lengths after being slow to begin, and that came at a picnic meeting that is listed as easier than today's assignment. He was also seventh at Eidsvold the run prior, beaten nine and a half lengths after jumping awkwardly and racing keenly. Unplaced in six starts overall and has to lift sharply to threaten.

Placed at this track last start when third to New Prospect, beaten six lengths, and he was near the top of betting in that small-field contest. He had finished behind Hydrating at Eidsvold the run prior, but his record includes placings both at this venue and around the distance. From a yard with a strong track profile, he brings the most dependable exposed form and rates the one to beat.

Comes in on a quick back-up after finishing eighth at Gatton, beaten eight and a half lengths, when unwanted in the market and inclined to hang out. Two back he was sixth at Gatton after racing wide for much of the contest, so his recent form has had some rough edges. The apprentice claim helps and he has placed once around this distance, making him a realistic place hope.

Ran second to Moonspell at Eidsvold last start, beaten four lengths, and was again near the top of betting. Her previous fourth at this track was better than it reads after she was held up leaving the 100m and finished just under two lengths away. She has beaten Josephine's Boy recently, and while the 1170m record is a genuine question, her current campaign form keeps her right in the winning mix.

Returns off a five-week let-up following a sound second at Talwood, beaten a length and a half by Amazara after being bumped at the start and racing wide. That was a strong response to a plain Dalby seventh, where she was beaten over 13 lengths and only battled. With a placing from two tries around this distance and the apprentice claim in play, she has a genuine winning case.

Returns from a lengthy spell after being last seen finishing last at Mt Gambier, beaten out of sight on soft ground and offering no late response. Her prior sixth at the Bool came at big odds and she remains unplaced from three starts overall. A recent Sunshine Coast Inner Track trial gives some return context, but the race form has to improve markedly.

Was slowly away and settled rearward when eighth in a Mdn at Kilcoy, beaten just over seven lengths at big odds. Her debut at this track was tougher again, finishing eighth and beaten over 15 lengths after jumping awkwardly. She is race fit third-up and has the inside draw, but her exposed form says she must improve to turn that into more than a minor placing hope.

Finished last on debut in a Mdn at Kilcoy, beaten just over nine lengths, after settling back and making no impression late. She was big odds there and has only that single race start to assess, so the evidence is still thin. Second-up improvement is possible, but she has to show a sharper finish before being treated as a serious contender.

Resumed with a last placing in a Mdn at Sunshine Coast, beaten over 11 lengths, after settling rearward and failing to make ground. Her debut seventh at Gatton was better on margin but still only fair, and she has yet to place from two starts. The apprentice claim is some help, though she remains unplaced at around this distance and must find a stronger closing effort.
