Mackay Race 4 - Men Matter Hcp (C3)
ERIMAR (8) is the one to beat after putting a Class 1 away by three and a half lengths at Rockhampton as favourite, and his previous Open run at Doomben was also sound when beaten two and a half lengths behind High Prophet. He has won two of three at this distance and brings the strongest recent rating profile. WASABI BARBIE (9) is the clear danger, having resumed with an Open win at Rockhampton on soft ground and with a proven 1050m record. MISS MONEYPENNY (2) was below market expectations at Birdsville, but her Class 6 win at Cairns two back reads well for this and she handles wet ground. UNIFIES (1) is back from a six week freshen after a BM65 win at this track. In the mix.

Returns from a six-week let-up after winning a BM65 at this track over 1300m, beating He's The One by just under a length despite jumping awkwardly and racing keenly. The prior Townsville fifth behind Latin Boss was only beaten a length and a half at generous odds. Proven around 1050m and profiles as a solid place hope if he handles the soft ground.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing fourth at Birdsville when beaten three and a half lengths as odds-on favourite, having been bumped at the start and keen early. Her Cairns win two back in Class 6 was stronger, coming from rearward to beat Arctic Bear as a well-supported favourite. Wet form keeps her right in the place mix.

Dominant at Rockhampton last start, winning a Class 1 by three and a half lengths as favourite after quickening away from August Joe. That followed a sound Doomben Open sixth behind High Prophet, beaten two and a half lengths with interference late, so the form has substance. Proven at 1050m, eased in meeting grade and looks the one they have to beat.

Resumed with a strong Open win at Rockhampton on soft ground, beating Stylish Diamond by a length after moving into the race smoothly and finishing through the line. Her previous run was a third at this track in Open company behind Blessed Boom when favourite. Clear danger with weight relief and the winning rider back.
