Cairns Race 3 - Ladbrokes New Betslip Hcp
BRAVE AGENDA (2) has the best winning momentum, with consecutive Townsville wins in BM65 and BM70, retaining Chris Whiteley from her latest victory. She won by a length on soft ground, benefitting from weight relief, and her strong 1450m record alleviates trip concerns. ARCTIC BEAR (4) has sharp recent form, finishing just a head behind Colleano at Townsville after a prior third here, making him a genuine threat, though his venue strike rate is a slight concern. TURN BIRD (1) is close to a breakthrough, narrowly beaten by Colleano last start and second at this track previously, with two wins around 1450m keeping him competitive under 60kg. COLOURS OF AUTUMN (3) was third first-up at Atherton and returns to a favorable track-and-trip where she's won before, but she steps up from picnic company and must prove herself against tougher competition.

Finished strongly for third at Townsville last start after beginning awkwardly and racing keenly, beaten half a length behind Colleano in provincial company. His second at this track the run prior was just as honest, beaten a long neck by Hot Digity Boom after leading. Proven at 1450m, but 60kg leaves him as an each-way hope.

Brings the strongest winning profile after consecutive Townsville victories, first scoring in BM65 company at generous odds before taking a BM70 by a length from Rock The Sunrise when again respected in betting. Eases out of provincial company with weight relief, Chris Whiteley stays aboard, and she has placed twice from three starts at this track and distance. Weight relief, Whiteley back and placed track-and-trip form give her the clearest winning case.

Resumed with a third at Atherton, beaten just under a length after being slow to begin, but that was picnic company and today is harder. Her start prior came in BM72 grade at this venue, where she was sixth behind Colleano after slow manners and being steadied.

Closed off strongly from the rear to miss by a head behind Colleano at Townsville, a sound provincial reference now brought back to this easier venue. He had also finished third at this track the start prior after beginning slowly, so the recent form is consistent. The 1450m is the question, but his recent form is solid for a place.
