Verdict

MISS TAMBO (5) has rediscovered some good form since joining the Georgina Holt stable and is suited by racing at this level. She was third here 15 days ago after winning at the picnic meeting on this track before that. She can make full use of the pole position and Ryan Wiggins keeps the faith. On top. BENCOOLEN (2) has been thereabouts since winning at Mackay 4 starts back and will find this a touch easier than his last start at Rockhampton 2 weeks ago. The extra furlong will suit him and he will be right in the finish again. JOHN JOSEPH (3) is a handy stablemate of the top pick who has been performing well since making the move from Victoria at the start of the season. He would like some cut in the track and has solid each-way claims again. SUPER FAST (8) has been holding his form well this season without looking like a winner. Adrian Layt picks up the ride and maybe he can coax that little bit extra out of this gelding where it matters most.

Useful mare. Most recently sat on the pace when 3rd of 8 at this track Bm70 on November 28 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Viburnum with 57.5kg at $2.80. The run before that won by 0.5 len at this track Cl3-Sw November 5 over 1000m defeating Northernontap with 58kg at $1.70. Sure to be thereabouts.

Useful gelding. At the latest run 5th of 8 at this track Bm70 on November 28 over 1200m, 6 len behind Viburnum carrying 59.5kg at $2.50. The run before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.6 len at this track 0 - 65 November 17 over 1200m defeating Viburnum with 60kg at $2.90. Capable of sharp improvement.

At the latest run came from midfield; 2nd of 9 at this track Cl3-Sw on December 5 over 1400m, slow going 0.6 len behind Valenki with 58.5kg at $9.50. The run before that 3rd of 11 at Mackay 0 - 65 on November 26 over 1300m, neck behind Early Fusion with 57.5kg at $21. Will need further improvement to trouble these.

Last start eased back early on 6th of 10 at this track Bm60 on November 17 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind From This Moment with 54kg at $26. The race before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 12 at this track Bm55 on October 26 over 1300m, 1.5 len behind Specialtie carrying 55.5kg at $26. Must improve off a last-start sixth over 1400m at this track to feature in the finish.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming ran last of 9 at this track Cl3-Sw on November 5 over 1000m, 11 len behind Miss Tambo with 54kg at $7. Second-up sat on the speed throughout before fading second last of 8 at this track Bm70 on November 28 over 1200m, 13 len behind Viburnum carrying 54kg at $151. Not keen.
