Mareeba Race 4 - D J Gilmore Electrical 2026 Battle Of The Bush Mareeba Qualifier Plate
DESERT GRIT (4) continues to race well with a win two back at Cairns before finishing 1.2 lengths away in third last time over 1100m at Innisfail. Has a solid record at this journey with four wins from 13 starts and looks a top chance. IMPARDOO (1) was thereabouts last time out when third at Gordonvale over 1100m, beaten 0.7 lengths. Lacey Morrison who has seven wins when partnering stays on. Bold showing expected. RED HOT LIZZIE (8) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 2 lengths, over 1100m at Gordonvale. This sets up nicely. BELLA BIANCA (7) was beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 900m at Innisfail at her latest appearance. Better than recent efforts suggest.
