Verdict

OUTWITTED (5) brings the strongest winning case after scoring at this track in a 3yo+ Class 5, despite being unwanted in the market. He beat Moochi Starlight by a nose, has two wins and a placing from five starts at this track and distance, and Ashley Butler has an excellent record on him. MISS FUNNY HONEY (6) is the main danger back from a FM Benchmark 78 at Gold Coast, where she was safely held over 7f, but her previous Class 3 third at Sunshine Coast on soft ground was sound and the return to 6f suits. UNDERRATED (7) resumes with a consistent local profile, having ended last campaign with a third to Wolfgang at this venue after being bumped at the start and a nose second the run prior. TIZSO FAB (1) comes through Open grade and is proven at this track and distance, so he appeals as a genuine place chance if sharper off the freshening.

6	Drops out of a FM Benchmark 78 at Gold Coast, where she was eighth and beaten six lengths after tracking the speed over 7f. The run prior was much better, closing into third in a Class 3 at Sunshine Coast on soft ground after racing wide throughout. Prior soft-ground third reads well for this. 2nd Pick 6 Miss Funny Honey Jockey: Stephanie Tierney Trainer: Stuart & Bayley Kendrick J: Stephanie Tierney T: Stuart & Bayley Kendrick	165	-	-	-	9%	11/1

7	Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a third at this track in a Benchmark 65, beaten just over two lengths as the short odds-on favourite after being bumped early and racing keenly. He had earlier gone down by a nose at this venue, so the local form is reliable. Genuine place profile. 3rd Pick 7 Underrated Jockey: Warwick Satherley Trainer: Leaonie Horstman J: Warwick Satherley T: Leaonie Horstman	105	-	-	-	29%	5/2
