Mt Isa Race 3 - Hcp (Cl B)
I'M OPINIONATED (4) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 2.5 lengths away in second over 1000m at Tuncurry. Will go forward again and looks tough to beat. MIA TORETTO (5) was always well out of her ground when 7 lengths from the winner in 12th over 1200m at Townsville last start, a less impressive effort than her seventh at Cairns the run before. Faces an easier assignment so she can find the winners' list. LEUCAENA (6) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 800m at Kilcoy. Definite top-three chance. CAPRICIOUS BELLE (8) returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 1000m at Pentland. Has ability and must be included in calculations.
