Verdict

TRACK TALE (2) resumes with 5x-winning rider Wiggins engaged. The speedy mare won this grade over 6f at Rockhampton when last seen and she flies fresh. Owns two comfortable Rockhampton Maiden wins and maps well. DEALING'S DONE (7) settled back and got the upper hand late to score by 1.75 lengths last time out over 6f at this track at the second run of the campaign. He's been busting to win and will be fitter. Tumbles in weight back in grade with a 4lbs claim atop, and that brings him into it. OBLIGATED (3) was outgraded last time at Toowoomba. Better to assess his chances on his wins this grade three and for back. 3x winning rider Butler is reunited, and he'd be in the finish at best. ODEGAARD (5) resumes and has won fresh. He will race over further and was last seen beaten less than 3L in a $200,000 Quality at Doomben over a mile. Maps well and stays down in the weights. Certainly worth a betting watch.
