Mackay Race 2 - Ladbrokes Switch (Bm65)
TARA I AM (6) is the horse to beat after winning both runs this campaign, first a Class 1 at Rockhampton and then a Class 2 at this track where she beat Shipping Lane by a head. Her 1100m record is strong and the wet-track place profile gives her enough comfort on the soft 5. TRIPLE TRIPLE (5) is the main danger, especially on the quick back-up after a Rockhampton fifth, with his head second in a BM68 at this venue the key form reference. FIVE STAR KING (4) has not had much luck at his past two, racing wide at Townsville and again at Rockhampton, and weight relief keeps him in the place mix despite the grade rise. DETERMINATION (1) resumes after three months with a BM70 placing at this track and reliable 1100m credentials, though the wide draw and fresh run make him a strong place hope.

Returns from a three-month break after being last seen second in a BM70 at this track, beaten just over a length after jumping awkwardly, taking over at the 200m and fighting on. His prior BM72 run at Eagle Farm was plain, but he has a strong overall profile and is proven at 1100m. Big weight and wide draw keep him to place claims.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a seventh in an Open at this track, beaten just under four lengths at long odds after beginning slowly and failing to quicken. Two back he was 11th in a Quality at Cairns, also at big odds. Others preferred.

Had genuine excuses when seventh in a BM55 at Rockhampton, jumping awkwardly and racing wide throughout before being beaten four and a half lengths. He also raced wide when second last in a BM70 at Townsville, so his recent finishing positions read worse than the effort. Weight relief helps his case.

Returns on the six-day back-up after finishing fifth at Rockhampton on soft ground, beaten just over four lengths after an awkward start. That was below his best, because he had earlier been beaten only a head in a BM68 at this track as a well-supported favourite. Can threaten.

Returns from a two-month freshening chasing a third straight win, having beaten Shipping Lane in a Class 2 at this track after travelling sweetly and lifting late. She had already beaten Doubtwilly in a Class 1 at Rockhampton, so the campaign has built the right way. Clear winning case again.

Placed first-up at Eidsvold in a BM60, beaten just over a length by Don'T Touch after starting near the top of betting. She had earlier won a Class 4 at Thangool as a well-supported favourite, so there is recent quality in the profile. In the mix.

Has been unable to lift through two recent picnic runs, finishing last in a five-runner BM60 at Bowen and second last in a BM50 at Ewan. The Ewan effort did include a blunder at the start, but he made no impression late. Others look better placed.
