GOING: S(7)

Hubbards Painting Class 6 Plate 950m Track: HEAVY 10 Rain (Max: 26) Rail: Out 1.5m 1000m-930m; True Remainder.
Ali's Jab and Pomade will likely pair off in front of the small field. SPEED LEGEND (3) is resuming at a trip well short of his best but since making the move to Queensland he has gone to another level with 4 wind from just 5 starts up this way. He will be hitting the line hard and could have the last say. He is too good to risk fresh up. BOHO BEAUTY (5) won her only start in the spring for her new local trainer Stephen Massingham at Innisfail. She comes to hand quickly and is capable of taking this out. ALI'S JAB (1) is an honest local gelding who was too strong off the front at a recent Mareeba picnic meeting and has a very good record over this trip on his home track. He is just as sharp third up and will be hard to peg back again. CARESSING RUPERT (7) is having her first start for the year and she is compiling a very handy record in a short career to date. This is her per trip and with the aid of a 1.5 kilo claim, she is very well placed at the weights. Hard to beat, especially with the advantage of the pole position. SUGGESTED PLAY: Caressing Rupert each-way.

5	40x1x	BOHO BEAUTY STEPHEN MASSINGHAM 5YO BAY MARE 58.0KG N L Prendergast, Miss K A Prendergast, Miss D A Prendergast, J D K Kerr & Double B Racing (Mgr: K Blair) Back from a long spell.

Could prove too smart for these.	6 R WIGGINS

The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at Mareeba Bm60 on March 16 over 1010m, 4 len behind Thumani with 62kg at $3.50. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.	4 S SHEARGOLD
