MACKAY CUP SATURDAY 10 AUGUST RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1300m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.01).  

Pace strong with Skylight Song and Sailor's Rum vying for the lead closely attended by Wandjina Spirit. SAILOR'S RUM (10) brought strong form from Victoria and delivered the Maiden win here first-up at prohibitive odds. The speedy galloper has more up the sleeve and can take the next step. OBLIQUITY (4) was quickly back in the winner's stall in a 55 at Townsville. He keeps improving and Taylor has put Huxtable on today replacing Stanley. Has an awkward barrier but is an each-way hope. SENNAPROST (7) was plain in stronger at Rockhampton but delivered a 55 here prior by a space and that's a better measure of his chances. Has an outside gate to manage but keeps the handy 2kg claim. MIL CIENTO (9) won a 55 here first up as expected and hasn't missed a beat. He'd switched from a NSW yard and can keep improving. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Sailor's Rum.
