Mt Isa Race 5 - Sportsbet (Bm50)
POLLY HOFFA (4) brings the most reliable recent profile, having won a Class 3 at this venue two starts ago before another sound third over 1200m at this track. The move back to 900m is supported by a proven track-and-distance record, and the apprentice claim strengthens a case built on consistent recent form. EGYPTIAN LASS (3) is the main danger on grade relief, with her Mackay Class 2 run better than the finishing position suggests given she was only beaten four and a half lengths at long odds. The 900m record is the query, but her prior defeat at this venue came after blundering at the start, so there is scope to rebound. IT'S A POWER (8) has placed at both runs this campaign in Mdn grade and now gets weight relief third-up, though she still has to turn consistent placings into a winning BM50 performance. LEUCAENA (5) has been plain at her latest Class B runs, but first-time blinkers and a strong placing profile at 900m give her a realistic minor-money path.

Had little market support when sixth in a BM55 at Cloncurry first-up, settling back and never making a serious impression behind Dance Wizzard. His previous fifth at this venue was also only fair after being near the top of betting, and Polly Hoffa had his measure then.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing second last in a Class 2 at Mackay, though she was only beaten four and a half lengths and was sent out at long odds. Her previous last at this venue in a BM55 was ugly on paper, but she blundered on jumping as favourite. The 900m record is a query, but her best recent form is strong enough for this.

Arrives in the right form, having won a Class 3 at this venue two starts ago before finishing third over 1200m at this track, beaten just under three lengths. That latest run came in picnic company and this is a harder meeting, but she drops back into BM50 grade, is proven at this track and trip, and has a 3kg claim. Proven at this track and trip, with the claim helping her winning case.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a fifth in Class B company at McKinlay, where she jumped awkwardly and was beaten just over six lengths. She had begun awkwardly when sixth at Corfield the run prior, so clean starts are becoming important. Recent Class B runs were plain, but her 900m placing record gives her a place case.

Has placed in both runs this campaign, finishing second at Winton before a third in Mdn grade at Cloncurry when fractious at the start and tightened shortly after. She sat handy but did not quicken there, so the finishing edge is still to come. Still a maiden, but barrier one gives her a solid place profile.
