Mt Isa Race 1 - Sportsbet Mdn Plate
ORACLE OF OMAHA (3) has the clearest winning case after resuming with a solid second in a Mdn over 1000m at Cloncurry, where he travelled right on the speed, led to the turn and was only run down late by Snappen. The 1200m is the small query given he is unplaced from one previous attempt around it, but that first-up effort reads strongly enough for this field. KELAI KAVA (7) was beaten nine lengths on debut as a short odds-on favourite at Richmond Qld, yet she did place at this distance and has more scope than most of these. FLYING GISELLE (5) brings consecutive placings, including a second at Prairie, though she is coming from picnic company into a harder meeting. EUPHORIC MISS (4) has been costly as favourite at her past two, but the inside draw and earlier fourth at Gulargambone keep her in the place mix if she sharpens up.

Had excuses at Warwick last start, racing wide throughout and laying out in the straight before finishing sixth, beaten just over eight lengths, over 1500m on soft ground. The Toowoomba run prior was also plain after beginning awkwardly and being forced wide near the 400m.

Worked back into some form when second at Richmond Qld last start, beaten three and a half lengths by Babe Roth after being near the top of betting, but that was picnic company and this is a harder assignment. His McKinlay run prior was poor, weakening early and finishing last, beaten over 19 lengths.

Started favourite at Cloncurry last start but never got into the race from a rearward position and finished fifth, beaten just over seven lengths, behind Snappen and Oracle Of Omaha. Her previous fourth at Gulargambone was better, beaten two and a half lengths on soft ground after getting onto heels near the 300m.

Returns from a two-month break after running second at Prairie, beaten six and a half lengths by Weird Goodbyes when near the top of betting. That followed a better third at McKinlay, beaten just over a length by Instigate, so her recent pattern is honest enough for this. A sound place profile if she holds that form.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing last first-up at Hawkesbury, beaten just over nine lengths, and she was unwanted in the market at long odds. She settled close enough to have a chance but could not go on with it. Easier company helps, but others bring stronger recent form.

Placed on debut at Richmond Qld over this distance, but there was a sharp market expectation attached and she finished third, beaten nine lengths, after starting short odds-on favourite. She did shift in at the start, which offers some context, and a lightly-raced mare can improve quickly second-up.
