Atherton Race 2 - Watto's Earthmoving & Machinery Plate
TYCOON BEAU (6) turned in an encouraging run first-up, settling well back then winding up nicely to finish fourth over 1000m at Townsville. Suited here and expected to prove tough to stop. STATS (3) returns from a spell of six months and it is noteworthy that he has won at his past two first-up appearances, last prep over 1250m at Cairns. Sure to make his presence felt. SPIRIT MEISTER (5) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten 6 lengths, over 1210m at Mareeba. Ready to go one better. MISSILE THUNDER (2) saluted over 1000m at Townsville at his most recent appearance on October 6. Has recorded two wins when first up from a break. Has switched to the Fred Wieland yard. Makes plenty of appeal.
