POWERHOUSE PROPERTY CAIRNS BENCHMARK 60 Handicap 950m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 30)   Rail: True Entire Course. (Pent: 5.25)  

Genuine tempo with Threebrothers leading the way. THE KAMIKAZE (5) has come back in fine fashion putting back-to-back wins together over this track and trip with hoop Fry being in the saddle for both victories. Racing high on confidence and should be right there at the business end again. FLYING ARTIST (2) resumes here but the form he showed before the break was good enough for a race like this. Gets the services of Wiggins in the stirrups and can show up while fresh. GAMADALE NIP (4) has a win and two placings from six attempts over this sprint journey and is usually thereabouts. Top-three conveyance. THREEBROTHERS (8) will be ready to peak now fourth run back and may earn some minor money. CATALINA DREAMING (6) next best from the favourable draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Kamikaze to bring up the hat-trick.
