Townsville Race 1 - Milton 'Bub' Baker Memorial Mdn Plate
LONGCROSS (3) has had some gear changes since leaving his Victorian stable a month ago. He will find the company up this way more to his liking and can make a winning Queensland debut. Use the market as your best guide. HEZA ROMEO (6) had to be a late scratching after being cast in the stalls earlier in the year and has been freshened since then. He did everything right at a recent trial on this track and is poised to run a big race. Stick with him. THE KAMIKAZE (5) blew his chances by making a slow start at Cairns 11 days ago. He is a natural leader, and if he gets it right at the start this time, he will be hard to peg back. GABBY'S READY (7) is resuming from a decent spell that would have done him the world of good. He has the tongue tie on for the first time, and 5 of his 6 career placings have been on this track. He comes to hand quickly and can win fresh up. ONE PERCENT (4) just battled in his first start for a new trainer and has the winkers back on. Don't drop him.

At the latest run ran last of 7 at this track Mdn-Sw on February 20 over 1200m, 20 len behind Chirography carrying 58.5kg at $6.50. The start before that did the work up front then tired 5th of 11 at Rockhampton Mdn on January 9 over 1300m, 4.5 len behind Boyfriend Material with 60kg at $13. Capable of much better performance.

Facing the starter for the first time. Four-year-old mare by Condamine out of Miss Inquisitive. At the most recent trial finished sixth at Sunshine Coast Inner Track over 850m. Prefer to see under race conditions.
