GOING: S(6)

HENRY SMILES MEMORIAL BM55 Handicap 2000m

Track: Soft 6     Rail: +2m 600m-300m; True Remainder. (Pent: 5.72)  

Lack of early pace and expect a moderate tempo at best. Open race to close out the card. SAMURAI WARRIOR (1) is another to draw poorly but has been racing very consistently at Toowoomba and gets winning rider Tomizawa back in the saddle. Nicely placed. PURE THOUGHTS (6) shed the maiden tag at the latest effort and will have taken a bunch of confidence from that breakthrough win. Top-three credentials. BRAVE BOY (11) last start finished fourth over 1800m at Inverell. Finds a suitable race and is expected to be in the finish. TOBA (5) worked home well to finish sixth over 1600m at Gatton last time out. He should relish the extra ground this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 1,6,11,5.

Racing well. Last start sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 10 at Toowoomba Bm58 on May 24 over 2000m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind By By Bean carrying 60.5kg at $5.50. The start before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; scored a big 3.5 len win at Toowoomba Mdn May 10 over 1890m defeating Maravich with 60kg at $2.70. Big chance.
