GOING: G(4)

BELLE PROPERTY TOWNSVILLE Class 3 Plate 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: True.  

Listentozou should find the front with Convertor and Big Demeanor on his heels. KIRIKAN (14) is ex-Waller and he resumed for the Massingham yard with a near miss at Cairns this grade. His metropolitan form more than stacks up, and Wiggins sticking aboard is a decent push for his chances. This looks winnable with the extra fitness. HYDE PARK (2) seeks the hat-trick, building on the win this grade at Mackay first-up. Wiggins gets off, but he will keep improving and can make the finish with a good ride. MAJOR LOOK (11) just missed behind the above, quickly back to form. He also has claims. BIG DEMEANOR (6) seeks the hat-trick off a spacious win at 55 level. This is tougher, but he keeps improving, and he will hit the line hard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Kirikan.
