Taroom Race 5 - Open Hcp

BASIL'S BOW (2) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1500m at Miles after being in the firing line on the corner. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. UNLEASH (1) ran well despite being friendless in betting last time over 1300m at Toowoomba, finishing third and beaten 1.1 lengths at $20. Strong winning chance. KIPTANUI (4) settled well back when 11 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1700m at Ipswich last start, a less impressive effort than his sixth at Glen Innes the run before. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. MAN IN THE MIRROR (5) finished 8 lengths from the winner in tenth on turf at Gatton two starts back. Missed the frame in another run on turf last time at Dalby over 1400m when 3 lengths adrift in fifth. Can bounce back returning to the dirt.
