GOING: G(4)

CITY LANE TOWNSVILLE Class 3 Plate 1400m Track: GOOD4 Clouds (Max: 21) Rail: True. (Pent: 5.58).
A solid tempo on the cards with Ceasar taking charge. CUSACK (2) is nearing his next win after 3 solid efforts to open his current campaign, including a last-start second by a head at Rockhampton 3 weeks ago. He is looking for a good track and with conditions to suit, he can go one better. MOKTAFFY (6) has improved since changing stables at the start of the year and is finding the company in North Queensland more to his liking. He was a sound third as favourite here just over a month ago and with a slightly firmer surface, he will be hard to hold out. Follow your money. CEASAR (1) did not fire at his last run at Cranbourne and has since changed stables. He likes to race on the pace and will be looking to cross over early on from a wide gate. A change of scenery and a smaller stable can sometimes reinvigorate these older geldings and he is not out of this. Each-way. HARROW (5) has improved since moving North and was only a head back from the winner at Cairns last time out. He has a superior gate this time and can get the job done. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ceasar each-way.
