Mt Isa Race 2 - Cnw Mailman Express Hcp (Bm50)

MAKANUI (2) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1100m at Julia Creek. Boasts two wins and a placing from just five spins around this circuit. Placed to advantage so anticipating another big run. CLIODHNA MAEVE (5) finished 5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 800m at Corfield five days ago as $2.5 favourite. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position and rates a leading contender. HOWSE (4) settled well back when 13 lengths from the winner in 13th over 1800m at Mackay last start, a less impressive effort than his eighth at Barcaldine the run before. Has the ability to produce a better result. BITTERBLUE (1) has been racing well this preparation and gets some weight off with the claim. In the mix.
