Verdict

INTRECCIATO (7) ran into a bit of trouble two back at Ipswich but saw clear air to launch hard at Beaudesert last time when getting within a length of the winner. At her top now and will take some stopping if the pace is genuine. MAGIC MOZ (2) has been left with too much ground to bridge in both runs back but has been warming late. Will appreciate the rise in trip and strikes a thin contest. Bold showing anticipated. KEY COMPONENT (8) is yet to strike fresh but was a consistent mare last time in and has peaks that measure up. This is short of her best trip but is a good kick-off point for the prep. Not taking lightly. KACHINA GIRL (11) can be forgiven for a plain fifth at Tara, but her Nanango third two back reads better and she gets in with 119lbs fourth-up.

7	Went very close at Beaudesert in a Benchmark 55 last start, finishing third and beaten just under a length after working home evenly from back in the field. Her previous eighth at this track had some excuse after being hampered near the 4f, and the winning rider returns with a strong record on her. Proven at the trip and clearly the one to beat. 1st Pick 7 Intrecciato Jockey: Karl Zechner Trainer: Kevin J Martin J: Karl Zechner T: Kevin J Martin	112	-	-	-	19%	9/2

2	Third-up now after two fair runs from the back, the latest a seventh over 6f at Sunshine Coast in FM Class 1 grade when beaten just under four lengths at big odds. She had been near the top of betting when sixth at this track on soft ground after jumping awkwardly. New trip keeps her in the place bracket. 2nd Pick 2 Magic Moz Jockey: Emily Pozman Trainer: Corey & Kylie Geran J: Emily Pozman T: Corey & Kylie Geran	92	-	-	-	31%	9/4

8	Resumes after eight months off the back of a close fourth at this venue, where she was beaten a length and a half on soft ground at the end of last campaign. The run prior at Warwick had merit as she charged home from well back after covering ground. Close fourth at this venue before the break gives her sound place claims. 3rd Pick 8 Key Component Jockey: Dale Smith Trainer: Steele Ryan J: Dale Smith T: Steele Ryan	61	-	-	-	10%	9/1
