With little in the way of early speed It's Showtime may well find the front. KAJETAN (5) is yet to break through in seven runs but has been thereabouts. Placed two back then was 2.75 lengths away in fifth over 1400m at Townsville last time. Terrific chance to return to form. IT'S SHOWTIME (1) returned last time with a solid second at Townsville over 1200m. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. LIGHT MY LIFE (6) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 1.3 lengths away in second over 1210m at Mareeba. Solid run last start and is among the chances again. TRUSTING STAR (8) finished sixth over 950m at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 2 lengths. Strips fitter and can figure in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 5,1,6,8.
