Cairns Race 1 - Ladbrokes Place Extra To 10th Mdn Plate
JUST A DUCHESS (7) has changed stables and returns from an 82-day break. Did a reasonable job to be beaten just over four lengths on debut at Doomben to launch the last prep. Trialled well recently and looks set to make an immediate impact for the new yard. MONDAY CLOSE (3) made it three minor placings from five starts when narrowly defeated after leading last time out at Townsville. Coming back in trip poses no fears. Sure to prove tough to catch. SMART 'N' LOUD (4) has not appeared since showing pace then hanging on well for third on debut over this course and distance on 12 March. Capable of taking this out with a bit of natural improvement expected. ANY NEWS (1) returns from a 15-week break. Beaten a long neck here at today's journey at his latest appearance. Opened last prep with a placing so expect he will be up for this. Market watch on WATEGO'S BAY (9) lining up for the first time.

First up last campaign third of 8 at Townsville Mdn March 15 over 1000m, soft track; 0.5 len behind Parppy 'N' Me carrying 58kg at $21. Can play a major role.

Most recently 3rd in a small field at Mackay 3yo Mdn on July 2 over 1200m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Belvedere Miss with 56kg at $3.20. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at Mackay 3yo Mdn on June 11 over 1100m, 4 len behind Bonewood with 56.5kg at $2.60. Cherry ripe and going well enough to test this field.

Most recently ran last of 9 at Townsville 2&3yo Hcp on July 14 over 1000m, 8 len behind Esprit Lad carrying 54kg at $151. The start before that 4th in a small field at Home Hill 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on June 27 over 1000m, 7 len behind Drumshanbo with 57kg at $31. Impossible to make a case.

Resuming after a 12 weeks break. Not seen since she finished last of 10 at Eagle Farm in the LR Dalrello May 2 over 1000m, on heavy track; 20 len behind The Next Episode carrying 55kg at $201. On debut ninth of 11 at Doomben 2yo Mdn-Sw April 15 over 1110m, 4.5 len behind Hidden Whisper with 56kg at $31. Finds an easier race to launch this prep.
