Cairns Race 7 - Ladbrokes Hosted Pots Hcp (C4)

RUSSIAN SUMMER (10) earns top billing off a stronger last-start effort than the bare fifth suggests, charging home at Townsville after beginning awkwardly and finishing only a length and a half from Cifonelli in Class 5. The weight relief and easier assignment from that provincial race strengthen his case, while his broad record around 1250m gives him enough substance despite KHABALOV having beaten him there. KHABALOV (3) is the clear danger after running second in the same Townsville race, beaten half a length after a slow beginning, and he brings a proven this-track-and-distance profile for a leading stable. INSTA WORTHY (5) has the winning form, having scored at Atherton and Gordonvale, but the move from a picnic BM60 win into harder company keeps him more as a place hope. CORPULENT (8) resumes off southern form that included a Kembla Grange Mdn win before a Wyong Class 1 fifth, and his first look at 1250m is the main reservation. May need the run but worth watching the market.

Comments

Second-up after a plain return in a Townsville Class 5, finishing last of 10 and beaten just over seven lengths after leading briefly and offering little late. The start prior was another last at Townsville in BM70 grade when favourite, so the recent profile is a concern. Prefer others.

Comments

Went close in a Townsville Class 5 last start, running second to Cifonelli and beaten half a length after beginning slowly and settling rearward. That was a clear lift on his previous last at this track over 1450m, where he raced keenly and never seriously threatened. Proven at this track and distance, so he rates highly.

Was sent out favourite in an Open at Innisfail last start and finished fifth, beaten two and a half lengths after being close enough on the turn but unable to finish it off. His previous run at this track in BM62 grade was also below his better form. Place claims if he finishes off better.

Comments

Comes in off consecutive wins, most recently taking a BM60 at Atherton as favourite by a head from Irresistible Force despite early tightening and racing keenly. He had earlier won a BM65 at Gordonvale by a length and a half from Rashford, so the form is hard to fault. Harder meeting now, but the form and weight relief give him claims.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a fair first-up fifth at this track in a Class 3, beaten just over two lengths behind Colonel Parker after tracking the speed and striking interference late. She was near the top of an open market there, so some respect was evident. Capable of improvement, but place looks the safer aim.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing fifth in a Wyong Class 1, beaten four and a half lengths on soft ground after jumping awkwardly and failing to quicken. Before the break he won a Kembla Grange Mdn by a nose from Audaciously Frank, which gives him some southern form to respect. Untried at 1250m, but has enough upside for exotics.

Comments

Had excuses when seventh in an Open at Innisfail, beaten just under four lengths after being bumped, racing wide and losing rein or whip or stirrup late. The run prior was a sixth at Townsville in BM65 grade, beaten four and a half lengths, so the recent form still lacks a winning edge. Still has to lift on recent figures.

Comments

Produced a strong Townsville Class 5 effort last start, finishing fifth to Cifonelli and beaten a length and a half after beginning awkwardly, settling back and charging home from well off them. He was unwanted in the market, which adds merit to the run, and his previous fourth at this track in BM62 grade was also solid. Strong winning chance on that effort.

Comments

Returns from a five-month break after ending his last campaign with a last placing in a Townsville Class 3, beaten four lengths at long odds and never in the hunt. His previous sixth at Innisfail in BM65 grade on heavy ground was also safely held. Has to improve sharply fresh.
