Cairns Race 5 - Ladbrokes Turn On Flex (Bm65)
SINGULAR (5) has been very honest without winning lately and looks well placed to convert after narrow placings at this track and Atherton. The move from BM60/BM62 form into a BM65 is the query, but he gets meaningful weight relief from the 61.5kg carried last start and brings the strongest recent profile. SUPER FREEZE (4) is the obvious danger after finishing third in a BM70 at Townsville, beaten just over a length after being slow to begin, and his earlier neck second in Class 5 company reads well for this. NOTTINGTON PRINCE (3) was plain in Open grade on soft ground last start, but he drops to a more suitable level, has Aidan Holt back aboard and owns a strong record around 950m. LATIN BOSS (1) also comes back from BM70 company and had genuine excuses when wide throughout at Townsville; his Ewan win prior and solid record at this trip keep him firmly in the minor-winning mix.

Had clear excuses in a BM70 at Townsville last start, finishing sixth and beaten three and a half lengths after being bumped early and racing wide throughout. The start prior was a Class 5 win at Ewan, beating Nosey Neo by a length as favourite. Strong 950m record keeps him in the mix if he gets cover.

Backs up quickly after disappointing as a well-supported favourite at Townsville, finishing ninth in a Class 3 and beaten just under five lengths after a bump mid-race. Her previous second at this venue was much better, when pipped late by Colonel Parker after leading. Can feature.

Was safely held in Open grade at Townsville last start, finishing last and beaten six lengths on soft ground without a clear excuse. The start prior was sound enough in a Class 3 at Bowen when third behind Hooroo, and the drop back from Open company is important. Well placed to make a big impression.

Comes off two strong Townsville runs, most recently third in a BM70 and beaten just over a length after beginning slowly. Before that he was beaten only a neck by Metalcraft in Class 5 grade at generous odds, so the recent form has real substance. Distance record and 2kg claim make him a major player.

Has been knocking hard with narrow placings at his past two, most recently third in a BM60 at Atherton when beaten a neck after carrying 61.5kg. He was also second in a BM62 at this venue, beaten just over half a length after being hampered near the 1000m. Class rise is there, but his form is the most reliable.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a sixth at this track, beaten three and a half lengths in Class 1 grade after jumping awkwardly and racing wide. He had also been well held at Townsville when wide without cover. Good-track record is a concern and others make stronger appeal.

Returns from a five-week let-up after going very close at Bowen, finishing second and beaten a head in a small-field BM60 while racing wide from the 650m. He was held up and steadied when seventh behind Latin Boss at Ewan before that. Class rise keeps him more in the each-way bracket.

Returns from a six-month spell after ending last campaign with a second-last at Townsville, beaten just over six lengths in a BM60 after settling rearward and failing to come on. His previous fourth had some merit after jumping awkwardly and working home, but he is unplaced from five starts in the past 12 months. Stable and jockey help, but improvement is required.

Returns from a four-month break after finishing fifth in Open grade at Townsville, beaten three and a half lengths, with some tightening late. The start prior was a second at Oak Park in Class 3 company, and her record of one win and one placing from three at this track and distance is useful. Can improve quickly.
