Innisfail Race 5 - Premier Fresh Banana Cup
PEROVIC (1) is going so well. He keeps dropping back in trip but it is hard to see that playing a big role. If anything, around here that won't hurt against these rivals. Can sit off them and round them up. MEDAL (5) went back quickly in distance to score at Bowen. Now heads back up again. On breeding that should only be a benefit. FORTIFIED (2) does have to be getting some confidence back but that could happen in this. Won't need to be giving away big starts here. FIFTH POSITION (3) is a long way from his old form. However any lift in effort can turn things about. MAJOR ARTIE (4) is next in line but not going well enough.

The run before that second last in a small field at Cairns Bm70 on July 24 over 2100m, slow going 3.5 len behind Olympic Korchnoi with 60kg at $1.35. Going well and is right in this.
