Thangool Race 5 - Ama Maintenance Alliance Hcp
JUST SUPER (3) can't be faulted and is never far from the action. He posted an overdue win at Rockhampton in his penultimate start and then was third there 16 days ago in a tougher field. He is very well-placed in this for his track debut, and will be hard to hold out. CAPTAIN FOX (4) is a durable veteran resuming from a spell over his pet trip. He has won on the course in the past, which is an advantage, and with the aid of a 1.5kg claim, he can figure in the finish. RUBY JULY (2) is a very competitive mare on her day, and she has won 5 of her 7 starts fresh up in the past, including 2 over the trip. She copes with any track conditions and will be ready to rumble after winning a recent Warwick trial. Use the market as your best guide. JOURNALISM (1) needed his fresh-up run at Yeppoon and gets another chance to show some worthwhile form. If he raced up to the ability that he showed in Sydney, then he'd be a winning hope. One more chance for this gelding.

Finished off last preparation second last of 9 at Inverell Inv Shorts Bm82 January 1 over 1050m, 5.5 len behind King's Gold with 56.5kg at $9.

Recent form sound. At the latest run eased back early on 3rd in a small field at Rockhampton Mayors Cup on April 12 over 1200m, slow going 1.75 len behind Hellish with 54kg at $6. The race before that won by 2 len at Rockhampton Bm72 March 25 over 1050m on a soft track defeating Last Ditch Effort carrying 58kg at $3.20. Hard to beat on his best form.

Gelding back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign sixth of 8 at Emerald Hcp January 14 over 1000m, soft track; 5 len behind Lily Allez with 55kg at $3.80. When resuming last campaign fourth in a small field at Rockhampton Hcp November 10 2023 over 1100m, 4 len behind Blue Kentucky Moon with 55kg at $5. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top chance on his best form.

Second-up. Comes off a 44-day let-up. First-up after four months 3rd of 7 at Bundaberg Sw on March 15 over 850m, 2.5 len behind Han Dynasty carrying 58.5kg at $5. Previously second-up ran last of 7 at Bundaberg Hcp on July 27 over 850m, 10 len behind Coat Of Arms carrying 57.5kg at $4. Good return but is unlikely to threaten.

Racing well. At the latest run 3rd of 10 at Emerald Hcp on April 19 over 1000m, slow going 1.2 len behind Writtle carrying 55kg at $5. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Mackay Bm65 on April 14 over 1050m, slow going 0.7 len behind Booming Lad with 61kg at $19. Hard to beat this time.

Useful type. Last start 5th of 7 at Emerald Bm58 on April 19 over 1200m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Invictus Lad carrying 59.5kg at $2.50. Before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Mackay Bm60 on March 18 over 1200m, on a wet track; 0.6 len behind Rubunkar with 56kg at $4. Better than the last start suggests.
