Cloncurry Race 4 - Niverak Smash Repairs (Bm55)
VALIANT JOAN (9) brings the most reliable recent profile, having beaten Holy Holy Holy in a BM50 at Longreach after fighting hard, and she had already been beaten just under two lengths in BM60 company at Aramac. Her season record reads strongly and she is proven enough around 1000m to be the one they have to get past. DANCE WIZZARD (3) is the main danger, with his Mt Isa second given extra merit by racing wide throughout, while his record at this track and distance keeps him right in the contest. LEUCAENA (10) has been beaten just over six lengths in both recent Class B runs, but her two placings from three attempts at this track and distance give her a genuine place base if she sharpens up. WITHOUT (8) comes through a stronger BM60 line, beaten a neck as favourite at Richmond Qld, and her consistency over the past 12 months gives her solid claims.

Backs up quickly after finishing fourth in a Benchmark 60 at Richmond Qld, beaten six and a half lengths after covering extra ground early and around the turn. Her prior fourth in Open grade at this track also came after racing wide throughout, so the recent margins have some context. Improvement is required.

Returns from a five-month break after ending last campaign with a last placing in a Benchmark 60 at Julia Creek, beaten over 10 lengths when near the top of betting. The better reference is her previous win at this track, where she beat Leucaena by three lengths as a short odds-on favourite. Watch betting.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a solid second at Mt Isa, beaten just over three lengths by Groove Jet despite racing wide throughout and laying in late. Two back he was safely held in a Benchmark 50 at Corfield, but he has won at this track and has a strong 1000m record. Blinkers go on and he looks a strong danger.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing fourth in a Benchmark 65 at Corfield, beaten four lengths and laying in near the 250m. Her previous run was a heavy defeat at Mt Isa, where she settled handy but faded and was beaten over 18 lengths. Has a 1000m win and a good jockey link, but others bring stronger recent figures.

Comes off a third in a Benchmark 60 over 800m at Twin Hills, beaten six lengths after attracting some market support. The stronger piece of recent form is his Benchmark 50 win at this track two back, when he beat Makeminemilo by just under a length. Must lift.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a fifth in a Benchmark 50 at Mt Isa, beaten seven lengths when near the top of betting and only fair late. Before that he was third at Oak Park as favourite after racing wide. A place hope if he returns in order.

Went very close in a Benchmark 60 at Richmond Qld last start, beaten a neck by Groove Jet after being sent out favourite. Her previous fourth at Twin Hills was less convincing, though she raced wide throughout and was still in the market. Honest profile puts her right in the placings.

Comes off a deserved Longreach win in a Benchmark 50, sitting behind the leaders before fighting hard to beat Holy Holy Holy by a nose. That followed a strong Benchmark 60 third at Aramac when well-supported favourite, so the form line has more substance than the narrow margin suggests. Consistent, fit and sets the benchmark.
