Leonora Race 3 - Mader Contracting (Bm56+)
RULING DAME (5) is the clear horse to beat, with her Kalgoorlie third two starts back reading strongly for this after she led and was only collared late by Lord Momo in a CL2. Her latest second-last can be treated with caution after she raced wide throughout and keenly, and the quick back-up plus a more suitable assignment give her the right platform to rebound. MAKE DE FORTUNE (4) also comes back from provincial CL2 company and was only beaten two and a half lengths at Kalgoorlie despite being unwanted in the market, so she profiles as the main danger if she repeats that effort. DANEA ROCK (3) has placed at both runs since resuming and brings reliable place form, though her long maiden record keeps the winning case in check. BLOWIN' SMOKE (2) worked home into third at Mingenew and has won at this venue, but the first try around 1600m can see him continue his run of recent form. WHO'S YOUR MAMA (1) can be in the finish stepping out in distance.

Has been well held at her past two, finishing seventh in a 2yo+ Benchmark 56+ at Mingenew after settling back and never becoming a factor. She was beaten over 12 lengths in a 3yo+ Benchmark 62+ at Junction the run prior, so the class drop and Kyra Yuill going back on are positives rather than enough to erase the recent plain form. Has to find a much stronger finish.

Worked home from well back for third in a 2yo+ Benchmark 56+ at Mingenew, beaten just over four lengths by Repeater. Two back he was a well-supported favourite at Junction but could only battle into fourth behind Lacevinsky. First go at 1600m is the query.

Comes in off consecutive seconds, the latest in a 2yo+ Class B at Mingenew when beaten two and a half lengths after beginning only fairly and laying in. She had earlier run Coupe Deburj to a length in a 3yo+ Maiden at Junction, so the current form is sound. Right in this out in trip.

Eased back from provincial grade after finishing sixth in a 3yo+ Class 2 at Kalgoorlie, beaten two and a half lengths at 81-1 after having the drop on the leaders. That was a much better effort than her second-last on soft ground there the start prior. Drops to a suitable task and has place claims.

Can rebound quickly after a forgive run in provincial 3yo+ Class 2 company at Kalgoorlie, where she was second last but raced wide throughout and keenly. Her previous third behind Lord Momo was much more relevant, leading and only being run down late. Quick back-up suits and she looks the one to beat.

Made some improvement to finish fourth in a 2yo+ Class B at Mingenew, beaten six lengths after being bumped at the start, but he was still at long odds and never seriously threatened. The start prior was a heavy defeat in a 3yo+ Maiden at Junction when unwanted in betting. Others appeal more.
