Mt Isa Race 3 - Plate (C4)
RUSH HOUR (2) was far too good first up last start when he scored by 4 lengths over 1050m at Blackall. Open to plenty of improvement and looks sure to run well again. Can make it back-to-back wins. FORTRESS AUSTRALIA (1) lines up for the first time since December 13. Looking to emulate his win at Rockhampton when returning from a spell last prep. Comes here with definite claims. TRICKETEER (3) finished eighth over 1100m at this track at his most recent appearance on November 10. Among the better hopes. ZAVABOOM (5) is back at the races for the first time since October 20. Scored over 1000m at this track to launch the last campaign. Sure to make his presence felt.
