GOING: S(5)

Tradies Race Day Friday 17 May BM55 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: Out 4.5m 1000m-W/Post; Out 3m Remainder. (Pent: 5.4).  

Solid pace with Sensationabull finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. I EFF OH (10) changed stables after showing ability when trained in Victoria and made a winning North Queensland just over 3 weeks ago when leading all the way and scoring by over 2 lengths. He had plenty left in the tank that day and should be the one to beat again. VILA TINTO (8) is a stablemate of the top pick who was a beaten favourite at Mareeba recently and he is better off over this shorter trip. He is reunited with Ryan Wiggins and is worth another chance. Each-way. LISTEN LISTEN (11) was runner-up at a recent Bowen picnic meeting when resuming just over 2 weeks ago and she is capable of getting a slice of the finish here. IRISH MAUDIE (9) is second up and drawn well can feature. SUGGESTED PLAY: I Eff Oh to win.
