GOING: S

Tropicanna Banana Mdn Plate 900m

Track: SOFT 5     Rail: True Entire Course.  

Mishani Hurricane is the likely leader at a keen tempo. ROTHERO ESSGEE (3) led and just missed at Townsville spiking his figures. Has to come back to a shorter sprint but may have them covered regardless. BEAN WARRIOR (1) led first-up beaten a half-length at Cairns. He has more to give and fitter is sure to give a sight. HEROIC KITTY (8) found one better at Townsville surprising the market. Fitter and is in the mix with a repeat of that. WHITTY'S DREAM (9) has been in touch the last two. Has a sticky gate again but can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Rothero Essgee.
