Mackay Race 5 - Book For Amateur Cup Saturday 24Th May (Bm65)
PAPASITO (3) led early fresh up at Rockhampton and clung on to a nose win over this trip nearly 3 weeks ago. He strips fitter and gets to remain in the same grade. The extra 2kg should not be enough to stop him from making it 2 wins on the bounce. UPSTART LEGEND (4) could only manage to finish third in a 5 horse field at Bowen last time out and can sometimes struggle to see out any distances beyond 1200m. He is much better placed in this, and only needs some cut in the track to go close to taking this out. DAIMYO (2) has held his good form for his new trainer and will be chasing a hat-trick of wins. He is up slightly in class and with the same weight to carry as last time, he can get the job done again. ANSWERING (7) has been racing consistently and another honest effort can be expected.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start favourite; won by a nose at Rockhampton Bm60 April 11 over 1050m on a soft track defeating Canny Be Better with 60.5kg at $2.50. The race before that favourite; won by 1.3 len at Rockhampton Bm60 March 15 over 1050m in soft going defeating Alloutatime carrying 55.5kg at $4.80. Rates highly and looks a solid top-three hope.

Recent form sound. Most recently 3rd in a small field at Bowen Cl4 on April 12 over 1470m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Moon Over Matilda carrying 58.5kg at $3. The start before that ran on from midfield and won by a nose at this track Bm65 April 1 over 1200m on a soft track defeating Booming Lad carrying 56kg at $11. Terrific chance to return to winning form.

Second run back. First-up after 13 months second last of 7 at this track Bm65 on April 14 over 1050m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Booming Lad carrying 58kg at $51. Previously second-up second last of 10 at Emerald Hcp on October 14 2023 over 1000m, 3 len behind Blue Kentucky Moon with 55kg at $51. No easier this time and not likely to threaten.

Recent form sound. Last start 2nd in a small field at Bowen Bm55 on April 12 over 1000m, slow going 0.6 len behind Snitzaroo with 61.5kg at $2.70. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.5 len at this track 0 - 58 April 1 over 1050m on a rain affected track defeating Love My Louis carrying 57kg at $3.80. Shapes as a top three prospect.
