Verdict

NO LOVE LOST (9) settled well back then came home hard to just miss when a neck from the winner in second at this track over 6f last time out. Leading player again. LADY MASQUERADE (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when fourth over 7f at Rockhampton two-and-a-half weeks ago. Tahlia Fenlon gets the best out of this six-year-old mare. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the challenge. NORTHUMBRIA (1) finished second two runs back at Cloncurry then improved last time out to score by 1.75 lengths as favourite over 6f at Isisford. Well placed and there is no reason why he cannot score again. MUTAFIQ (6) next in line.
