Verdict

TARA I AM (6) is the horse to beat after winning both runs this campaign, first a Class 1 at Rockhampton and then a Class 2 at this track where she beat Shipping Lane by a head. Her 5 ½f record is strong and the wet-track place profile gives her enough comfort on the soft 5. TRIPLE TRIPLE (5) is the main danger, especially on the quick back-up after a Rockhampton fifth, with his head second in a BM68 at this venue the key form reference. FIVE STAR KING (4) has not had much luck at his past two, racing wide at Townsville and again at Rockhampton, and weight relief keeps him in the place mix despite the grade rise. DETERMINATION (1) resumes after three months with a BM70 placing at this track and reliable 5 ½f credentials, though the wide draw and fresh run make him a strong place hope.
