GOING: S(5)

BELLE PROPERTY TOWNSVILLE RATINGS BAND 0 - 55 Handicap 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: +6m 1000m-W/Post; +3m Remainder. (Pent: 5.65)  

Pace strong with Hit Snooze and Elleves leading with Just For Pleasure nearby. LIVEWIRE LASS (6) switched from a top Sydney stable and was too good for the Maidens from the speed. She'd won a trial and has plenty up her sleeve. She should be taking the next step with average luck from the awkward gate. WAR COUNCIL (4) went close here and then raced keen at Cairns and flopped. Jockey Wiggins recommended some gear changes and that's transpired. Maps for the run of the race and can bounce into the finish. Stablemate PRIMO (2) resumes and has switched from a sharp Sydney stable. He will race over further but certainly has the ability and he's trialled well over 850m. Has Stanley and the betting will be key. JUST FOR PLEASURE (11) resumed at Home Hill for a new barn and just missed. She may go on with it now and Butler sticks. HIT SNOOZE (5) won that race and the veteran mare will be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Livewire Lass.

At the latest run won by a neck at Home Hill Bm60 June 28 over 1460m defeating Mission House carrying 56.5kg at $4.40. Before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 12 at this track 0 - 55 on June 12 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Convertor carrying 58kg at $19.
