Gympie Race 3 - Bmwca Local Legends Country Stampede Qualifier Hcp
LUNAR EIGHT (9) earns top billing after being beaten a nose by Shako in a Class 4 at Sunshine Coast, a provincial form line that reads well back to this country assignment. She was unwanted in the market there, yet travelled strongly and was only claimed on the post, while her record at this distance is also sound. GITALONG (2) is the immediate danger after a BM70 second at Toowoomba, where he led and kept finding despite starting an outside chance. MISSISSIPPI MORN (1) brings the winning habit, with two Emerald victories this campaign and an excellent 1030m record, although he has to carry 62kg at his first look at this venue. RUSSIAN SUB (7) has been close enough in BM65 and BM60 company to be respected, and his wide run at Eidsvold gives him a genuine excuse, but his 1030m record says the win is still the question.

Made it two from two this campaign when a well-supported favourite at Emerald, beating Invictus Lad by just over half a length on soft ground. The start prior was more decisive, putting just over three lengths on Sunnycoast after leading despite jumping awkwardly. Ten wins from 18 starts and a strong 1030m record make the 62kg impost less of a concern, and he is a serious winning chance again.

Bounced back strongly at Toowoomba last start, leading in a BM70 and finishing second to Thundering Soul, beaten just over a length after starting an outside chance. That was a much better guide than the Moree failure, where he was bumped early and folded after leading as favourite. Drops from provincial company, has five wins at around this distance, and profiles as one of the stronger winning hopes.

Returns from a two-month freshening after winning at Bundaberg, where he beat Mamaragan by two and a half lengths despite racing wide throughout. His previous second at this venue in a BM65 behind I Am Voodoo reads well, and his track-and-trip record is excellent. The harder assignment and 60.5kg mean he has to reproduce his best rather than merely hold form.

Returns from a four-month spell with a close second at Dalby in his latest trial, which is a useful fitness pointer. He ended last campaign when second last at Roma, beaten just under ten lengths by Gitalong after being tightened near the 300m. His 1030m record gives some foundation, but the race form before the break was plain and he must lift sharply.

Has been below her better level in two runs since winning first-up, finishing last at Eidsvold after jumping awkwardly and racing keenly. The run prior in a BM68 at Warwick was better than the position suggests, beaten only three lengths after sitting handy and working home evenly. Back to a more suitable 1030m is a positive, so she is a realistic place hope if her manners improve.

Failed to get into the race at Kilcoy last start, beginning slowly and finishing last in a BM65 when beaten four and a half lengths at long odds. He had won at this venue the start before, beating Capiana by a length and a half in a BM60, and his overall track record is reliable. The class drop and weight relief bring him back into place calculations, though winning may be harder.

Had excuses at Eidsvold last start, jumping awkwardly and racing wide throughout before finishing fourth in a BM60, beaten two and a half lengths after attracting support. Two back he was beaten the same margin in a BM65 at Goondiwindi, so his form is holding together. The class drop and weight relief are positives, but 13 goes around this trip without a win keeps him more as a place chance.

Backs up quickly after an excellent Sunshine Coast second in a Class 4, beaten a nose by Shako after travelling well and just being pipped on soft ground. That provincial run came despite being unwanted in the market, and it followed a solid BM62 fourth at Emerald where she was near the top of betting. One win and one placing from two tries at the trip adds substance, and this looks the right race for her to convert.

Was second last in a BM65 at Sunshine Coast last start, beaten just under nine lengths after racing wide and suffering interference, and she was unwanted in the market. Her previous fourth at this venue was also a long way from the winner, with Mamaragan beating her by over 12 lengths in a BM60. Past track-and-trip wins are respected, but recent form leaves her with a major turnaround required.
