GOING: H

Cairns Pitstop Hcp (55) 950m

Track: HEAVY 8   Scattered Thunderstorms   Rail: True Entire Course. (Pent: 5.61).  

Reverberating looks the most likely to push forward and take up the lead. A very strong contest in the early stages as Reverberating and All Bar Lily spear over to vie for the lead with Mustang Jack. MY GIRL'S A DRAGON resumed last start over 1000m at Innisfail and wasn't beaten all that far in a bright return. Second up form is good and with the claim looks very well placed. RIKKI DYNAMO chalked up another minor placing when beaten narrowly at Atherton 10 days ago over 1000m. Hasn't won in around four years but is a sound trifecta inclusion. VOLTAIC finished just half a length from Rikki Dynamo at Atherton when resuming from a 19 week spell. Has more room to improve than that rival so should be prominent. CORAL SEAS boasts a good record at this trip and from gate one will be thereabouts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Play multiples around Rikki Dynamo, My Girl's A Dragon and Voltaic.

Last outing struggled in the run; 6th of 7 starters at Atherton (Bm55) Jan 13 over 1200m, 5-1/4 len behind Jumbo Rumbo with 55kg. Run before won by a head Innisfail Hcp (Cl B) Jan 6 over 1200m slow going defeating She's A Ringo with 55kg. Tricky assignment this and likely to find it too tough.
