Cairns Race 5 - Cairns Hardware Plate (C3)
RHEGION (4) s backing up quickly on home turf after finishing in the money over 1250m nine days ago. Was an easy Townsville winner prior, and Wiggins stays aboard. Must contend with a sticky gate but will prove tough to beat. COLOURS OF AUTUMN (5) will appreciate the longer journey after finishing a solid fourth when resuming last start over 1000m at Townsville. Second-up record is strong and she races well here. Has a low gate and is a live chance. MATERIALIST (6) settled well back last start in the RHEGION race but warmed up late to grab third. She can get into the money again. PARCH (8) can use the inside gate and is going well. Has some weight relief in stronger and is on a 6-day backup. Minor claims. CHARTWELL (1) may be the best of the rest.

Dual acceptor. Last start gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 7 at this track Bm55 on March 12 over 1400m, on a wet track; 0.9 len behind Miss Shu with 55.5kg at $61. The race before that ran last of 7 at this track Bm55 on February 16 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 12 len behind Vouchers carrying 57kg at $26. Not far away lately but looks safely held.
