Race 7 — City & Country Electrical (Bm50) 900m · jumps Mon 9 Nov, 3:40 pm AEDT

Race preview

Welcome to the City & Country Electrical (Bm50) over the 900m dash at Mt Isa, where a fine day and good track greet us for a 3:40 pm AEDT jump. The win market order has Without heading the quotes, closely followed by Polly Hoffa, Lilii Borea, and Vonk rounding out the quartet as we look for some early value. Let's dig into the numbers and see how this sharp sprint shapes up for punters looking for a winner on the card.

Starting right at the top of the market, Without jumps off the page with a strong career record of 27 starts for four wins and four placings, and comes in following a solid second at Richmond over 1000m. Trainer Ms S Royes sends the leader out here with Ben Kennedy in the saddle from barrier 4, and rates a real chance despite mapping as the sole leader. Polly Hoffa sits next in the market order for Tanya Parry and Brooke Stower from barrier 2, coming off a neat win over this exact 900m trip here on a good track and boasting the fastest overall finishing sectionals last start. The numbers say this backmarker commands plenty of attention.

Further down the win market order, Lilii Borea is another from the Tanya Parry yard with Hayley Saunders steering from barrier 1, bringing a rating of 88 on the back of a brave second at this venue over 1000m where she went down fighting. Vonk rounds things out for Tanya Parry and Amie Meissner from barrier 3, coming off a fourth at Richmond over 1200m. While Vonk tackles this fresh with a 58-start career under the belt, the stable runners are right in the thick of it. Grab a mate, weigh up the form, and enjoy the sprint!

Fresh. Unable to make an impression at Richmond over longer assignment. Others with stronger claims.

ILB

Below par when 4th last start at Richmond and dropping in distance. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Showing great form since resuming from a break. Looks a nice proposition.

Finished last of four over 6f at Richmond (handicap) last month; producing fairly consistent form; can be a player at this level; needs to be respected.

RSIS

Basic showing when 4th last time at Richmond and down in distance. Won't be far away during the run. Performing honestly since coming back from a break. Can feature in this event.

Fair way from the winner but battled home into third this course. Form sound this level without winning. Can make his presence felt with even breaks.

ILB

Tidy run when 3rd last run at this track. In a purple patch of form this preparation. Likely to get back in the run.

Produced a string of consistent efforts; not far behind Lilii Borea when third here over 5f (handicap) last month.

RSIS

Was competitive when 3rd last run at this track. Performing well in recent runs. Gets back and needs luck.

Racing in top order. All honours in the small field this course over this trip. Drawn to get a soft run. Commands attention here.

ILB

Got the prize when winning by 1 1/2L last run at this track and have to respect the form at the distance. Should muster plenty of early toe. Will be fighting out the finish.

Recorded second C&D win last month; in the mix.

RSIS

Was all too good winning by 1 1/2L last run at the track and suited at this distance historically. Should come to hand quickly. Will go close today.

AAP

Went down fighting in the small field this venue. This looks very achievable.

ILB

Was agonizingly close last time around here and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Won't be far away during the run. Performing honestly this campaign. Holds a major chance.

A close second over 5f here (handicap) last month; has won at this track; has maintained her consistent level of form; on the best of her form she's an attractive contender.

RSIS

Narrowly beaten last start around here and gets the perfect draw. Displays good tactical pace. Producing consistent results of late but rising in weight. Good tough competitor that can be supported.

Unable to make an impression this venue. Rough exotics hope.

ILB

Started at $17.00 and looked outclassed when 6th last start at this venue but has a positive barrier. Carrying more weight than last time.

A course winner; can be a player at this level; finished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (8l) over 5f here (handicap) three weeks ago; his best form stacks up so has to be taken seriously.

RSIS

Was 16/1 and well beaten when 6th last start at the track but will try to take advantage of the stall. Bit of extra work to do with more weight.

Now 4 weeks between runs. Great run at Richmond 3 Oct. Sent out $3.20 when unable to threaten at Cloncurry. Rates among the better chances.

ILB

Started $3.20 and was well beaten when 5th last time at Cloncurry. Should improve here. Should come to hand quickly. Producing consistent results since resuming from a break. Good chance today.

Not beaten too far (4½l) over 5f at Cloncurry (handicap) last month; not been able to get her head in front lately so unlikely to trouble the principals.

RSIS

Started at 11/5 and tailed off to finish 5th last start at Cloncurry. Expecting improvement. Has shown early pace in races to date. Running with confidence of late. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Honest performance without menacing winner this track over today's trip. Not as well drawn this time. One for multiples.

Finished well when 3rd beaten by just over 3L last start around here and on an upward trajectory in recent races.

Came on strongly to finish 3rd last start around here and showing improvement in recent outings.

Let-up (58-days). Long time since last saluted. Ordinary performance in small field at Cloncurry. Hard to make a case.

ILB

Back from a let up. Below par performance when 6th last run at Cloncurry.

Finished behind Without at Cloncurry over 5f (handicap) when last of six two months ago; one win to his name was achieved a fair way back; meeting some horses in good form and he can be taken on.

RSIS

Let up. Mediocre display when 6th last run at Cloncurry.

Last win was 19 Jul 2025. Ordinary performance in small field this course over longer assignment. Can lead or take a sit. Leaning towards others here.

ILB

Tailed off to finish 5th last run at the track and down in trip. Carrying less weight this time.

Form has been a bit up and down of late and been a while since he managed only win; missed the frame (beaten 17l into fifth) last month behind Lilii Borea, in a conditions race; a few rivals look in good form so looks opposable.

RSIS

Faded to finish 5th last run at the track and down in trip. Dropping weight.

Comments

AAP

Ordinary performance in small field at Richmond for new trainer. Switching to 900m. Hard to warm to here.

ILB

Had difficulty when 5th last time at Richmond and back to a shorter trip.

Finished last of five over 6f at Richmond (handicap) 16 days ago on debut for this trainer.

RSIS

Lacked competitiveness when 5th last time at Richmond and dropping back to a shorter trip.

Odds correct as at Mon 9 Nov, 3:40 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
