Cairns Race 2 - Family Of League Race Day, Sunday 22nd November Hcp

ALBERTA BOUND (1) gets the nod on a strong fresh profile, with three wins from three starts at this track and distance and a last-campaign Townsville win by four and a half lengths when heavily backed. Ryan Wiggins also knows her well, which adds to the appeal. WORTHY GEM (2) is the immediate danger after winning at this track over 1250m despite being checked, and three wins from four starts at this venue make his form hard to dismiss. BOOMING BELIEF (6) brings a last-start Townsville Mdn win and weight relief, but she was beaten by WORTHY GEM here two runs ago and her 950m record is still winless. Place hope. GOOD ONE CECIL (5) also comes off a Townsville Mdn win and gets the apprentice claim, though he has more to prove against the better-exposed runners. Wider plays.

Comments

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a dominant Townsville win, scoring by four and a half lengths after leading and being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. She had earlier been beaten a neck by Esprit Lad in Open grade. Last-campaign form is strong enough to make her the one to beat.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after winning at this track over 1250m, where he was checked mid-race yet still let down well as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. The prior Townsville fourth had excuses too, with clear-running difficulty late. Strong venue record keeps him a major threat.

Comments

Returns from a lengthy spell after a below-par Open run at Townsville, finishing 12th and beaten just under ten lengths when unwanted in the market. He did have some early tightening and was forced wide, but the margin still has to be respected. A nose second in Open grade two back gives him a case, but the plain final run leaves him a place hope.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after finishing fourth at Townsville in Open grade, beaten four lengths at generous odds but working home respectably. That followed a soft-ground Mdn win at this track over 1250m, when he kicked clear as one of the main market hopes. Draws barrier one and has won at this track, but his Open-grade form has to sharpen.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after winning first-up in a Mdn at Townsville, lengthening nicely to beat Nicco Nota Fighter by just over half a length. His final run before the spell was a plain last behind Tambo's Sister, so the latest result was important without proving too much. Weight relief helps, but stronger exposed form makes him more place than win.

Comes through a last-start Townsville Mdn win, beating Better Option by half a length after being near the top of betting and finishing the race off well. She had been fourth behind Worthy Gem at this track beforehand, checked mid-race and beaten just under three lengths. The 950m record keeps her more a place hope.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after a plain Mdn sixth at Townsville, beaten just over eight lengths behind Far And Wide with no clear excuse. His previous run at this track was another sixth, when unwanted in the market and unable to quicken. Recent Mdn form is well short of what is required.
