Cairns Race 2 - Richard Newton Memorial Hcp
BETTER SHOW (3) is a promising filly who made solid progress last season and will be a lot stronger after her long spell. She looked in good nick at a recent trial and revels in wet ground. The market will be your best guide, but she is more than capable of taking this out. BRAVE EDDY (4) was a game runner-up when resuming from a spell and then ploughed through the wet Mareeba track to score a soft win at their recent picnic meeting. This is not much harder, and with 1.5kg less to carry, he can double the dose. SKOGAFOSS (1) ended his last campaign with a brace of wins on this track. He will be a lot stronger this year and would not be a surprise winner fresh up. Watch the markets closely. GREY POWER (5) has a senior hoop back in the saddle so don't write him off.

Gelding back from a spell of four months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign won by long-neck this track Bm55 December 28 over 1250m defeating Read 'Em And Weep with 57.5kg at $2.60. When resuming last campaign third of 12 at Innisfail 3yo Mdn October 25 over 900m, 0.6 len behind Isla Girl with 59.5kg at $5. Likely to be up for this.

Filly back from a spell of eight months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last preparation second of 7 at this track 3yo Hcp August 17 over 950m, soft track; 2.5 len behind I'lltellyougo with 55.5kg at $4. Previously first up; second in a small field at this track 2yo Hcp June 1 over 950m, in the wet; 1.1 len behind Hand Grenade carrying 56kg at $2.80. This is an ideal race to kick off. A bright start to the prep is anticipated.
