Cairns Race 5 - Asahi (Bm72)
GOT GUMPTION (7) is a consistent conveyance who has hit the top-four in ten of his past 11 starts and rarely puts in a poor one. Cherry-ripe fit for this and can make his presence felt. COLLEANO (10) has placed three of his past four and looks to be knocking on the door of another victory. Best form puts him right in contention. CANBERRA LEGEND (3) is better than recent efforts suggest and should be hitting the line with gusto. EL PENSADOR (6) was a good winner three back and has since been knocking on the door in Open grade. Will find this easier and is among the key chances.
