Mackay Race 4 - Mackay Classic
KRACKACAN (2) made it 2 wins on the bounce when scoring here by over a length 17 days ago. The step up to 1200m won't be a problem, and the hat-trick beckons. DON'TDOUBTHELADY (3) resumes from a spell and was last seen competing in the 3 million dollar Magic Millions 2-year-old Classic. She won a recent Rockhampton trial, and with Ryan Wiggins picking up the ride fresh up, she will be very hard to hold out. TEN PINS (4) won his debut on a heavy track by 4 lengths and then was fourth in a good race at Eagle Farm 12 days ago after setting the pace. Justin P Stanley has chosen to stick with him, and so are we. NEV (5) was fourth fresh up at Townsville 4 days ago and has to be respected should he back up. NEV (5) strips fitter second up and from a good draw, he can figure in the top 3 this time.

Looking to keep his unbeaten record intact. On debut, won by a nose at Rockhampton 2yo Mdn February 14 over 1050m on a rain affected track defeating Our Eagle Rock carrying 55kg at $17. Last time out tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.5 len at this track 2yo Hcp April 14 over 1050m on a rain affected track defeating Bitter Spirit with 57kg at $7. Impressive of late. Big chance again.

Resuming after a three-and-a-half months break. Finished off last campaign tenth of 16 at Gold Coast in the LR Mm 2yo Classic January 17 over 1200m, 5 len behind O' Ole with 55kg at $61. At her first start won by 1.1 len Rockhampton Breeders 2yo November 8 over 1050m slow track defeating Tinkerbella carrying 55kg at $1.50. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Everything points to a positive return.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; scored a big 4 len win at Townsville 2yo Mdn-Sw March 27 over 1200m in heavy going defeating Secret Cypher carrying 58kg at $1.80. Last start 4th of 8 at Eagle Farm 2yo Hcp on April 19 over 1400m, slow going 3.5 len behind Navy Pilot carrying 57.5kg at $4.80. Racing well at the moment and could be hard to beat.
