Emerald Race 6 - Maraboon Tavern Hcp
PRE EMINENCE (1) sets the standard if he transfers his metropolitan Class 6 form to Emerald. He resumes from a two-month freshening, but his Doomben second to Zoubaby over 1110m reads well for this, and the return to 1000m suits a horse with three wins and two placings from seven runs at the distance. SAILOR'S RUM (9) is the clear danger after a sound fourth in a 3yo+ Class 6 at Mackay and a prior second as a well-supported favourite at Thangool; the 55kg impost and strong rider-horse record are genuine assets. OUTBACK ACTION (2) comes off a Bowen second beaten a nose and profiles as a reliable place chance with winning upside if he repeats that finish. MISSISSIPPI MORN (8) resumes after six months but brings a four-run winning streak and a perfect three-from-three record at the Emerald 1000m, so he must be respected despite the break.

Returns from a two-month freshening after fading to finish second last in a 3yo+ Class 6 at Eagle Farm, beaten five and a half lengths by Surprise Honey. That was Saturday company and this is an easier assignment, while his previous Doomben second to Zoubaby, beaten a length over 1110m, is strong enough for this. Doomben second two back is the key line; the 1000m suits and the claim helps.

Stormed home from well back at Bowen last week and was beaten a nose by Time To Prophet over 1200m, a run with real merit despite laying in. He had also made ground after a slow start when sixth at Townsville on soft ground. Needs to begin cleanly, but his finish gives him sound place claims.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a heavy defeat in a Quality at Eagle Farm, where he led but weakened sharply and was beaten over 11 lengths by Roll Up. His Mackay third prior was far better, and a comfortable Thangool trial plus a past Emerald win provide some encouragement. Can make an impact.

Second-up after finishing last in a Quality at Birdsville, beaten just under seven lengths by Hello World, and the market gave little confidence there. He was also safely held at Blackall before the break when sixth behind Rush Hour. Needs more than he showed at Birdsville.

Rises from picnic grade after a Springsure fourth on soft ground, beaten just under three lengths by The Squire, and this is a harder assignment. His Dingo fourth prior was less convincing after racing wide and finishing beaten just over eight lengths. Needs to lift at the business end.

Returns from a six-month break as a four-straight winner, most recently scoring at Emerald by just over a length from The Squire after being heavily backed into very short odds-on territory. He had earlier won at Thangool as an odds-on favourite. Break is the main query.

Battled on well for fourth in a 3yo+ Class 6 at Mackay, beaten just over two lengths by Contemporary, after beginning awkwardly and hanging in. He was a well-supported favourite when second to Corkscrew at Thangool the start prior. Warwick Satherley back aboard strengthens the winning case.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a Tambo fifth, beaten six lengths by Mistrey Emperor, but she raced wide throughout and weakened late. Her previous Benchmark 65 win at Blackall was much better, beating Zouchase by two and a half lengths after carrying 64kg. The Blackall Benchmark 65 win two back reads well, but the trip remains the question.
