Mt Isa Race 2 - (Bm50)
VIKING VALOUR (1) turned in a strong performance first-up when in the money at this track but disappointed last time when sixth, beaten 8 lengths, at Gregory Downs over 1000m. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this circuit. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. MIA TORETTO (2) placed as favourite last time over 1200m at Maxwelton after she had won two races on end. Can return to her winning form. LORD VALEN (3) is coming off a last-start eighth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1000m at Mt Garnet. Has sound form here including a win and three minor placings from six starts. One of the better chances. GROOVE JET (4) was beaten 4 lengths into eighth over 1100m at Gatton last time out. No surprise to see her in contention.
