Mackay Race 2 - Sky Racing Hcp

JOURNALISM (3) has been racing in great heart with two wins on end followed by recent back-to-back placings, the latest a second over 1609m at Townsville. Has his share of talent and will prove hard to beat in this suitable race. EXODAS (6) steps up in trip after scoring last time by half a length over 1300m at this track on June 23. Significant weight drop this time so another big run is on the cards. OUR MISSILE (8) scored last start at Clermont to make it five wins and three placings from eight starts this campaign. Should be involved again on that sort of form. The well-related TURBEAU (2) (half to G3 winner and 2xG2 placed Thames Court) drifted back and never threatened when seventh last start over 1400m at Townsville. Best figures measure up nicely and has solid top-three prospects.

Half-brother to Group 3 winner and dual-Group 2 placed Thames Court. Last start ran last of 7 at Townsville Hcp on June 22 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Prince Akeem carrying 58.5kg at $5.50. The race before that 5th of 11 at Townsville Hcp on June 6 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Odegaard with 59kg at $5.50. Capable of a lot more; worth another chance.
