Murwillumbah Race 5 - The Woodsie Special (Bm66)
HIGHLAND HILL (3) gave away a decent start on the bend but rallied to score an impressive win over 1700m at the Gold Coast last start. That followed a six-week break so he should tighten up further. Suited out to this trip so in what looks an easier race he is the one to beat again. Lightly raced four-year-old SECOND SUN (1) added to his burgeoning record when comfortably home as $1.75 favourite over 1800m at the Sunshine Coast last time out. On trial at the trip and has his share of weight but will run his usual honest race. TOROVISTA (2) led but couldn't keep going when a distant third recently over 2000m at the Gold Coast poly. Will roll forward again and should give backers a sight. DEVOCEAN (6) is a query at the trip but is next pick in a race with a long tail.

Useful gelding. Most recently favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 1.75 len at Sunshine Coast Cl1-Sw December 8 over 1800m defeating Fort Denison with 60kg at $1.70. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 10 at Ipswich Cl1 on November 28 over 1666m, 0.5 len behind Prado with 59.5kg at $4. No reason he won't play a major role again.

Useful gelding. Most recently 3rd of 8 at Gold Coast Poly Bm58 on December 14 over 2000m, 4 len behind Cherbourg carrying 60kg at $3.80. The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Gold Coast Poly Bm62 on November 23 over 2000m, 0.7 len behind Cherbourg carrying 61kg at $6.50. Talented type who is among the leading hopes.

Dual acceptor. Recent form sound. Most recently won by 1.0 len at Gold Coast Cl3 November 30 over 1700m on a heavy track defeating Toolatemate carrying 55kg at $7.50. The race before that held ground to the line 2nd of 12 at Gold Coast Bm65 on October 19 over 2400m, slow going 1.0 len behind Bump'n'run carrying 56kg at $3.50. Great chance to win again.
