Townsville Race 3 - Hygain Hcp

SWEET KISSES (5) is a very good mare with further improvement to come this year as she gets even stronger. She was only half a length behind the winner when finishing second here 15 days ago and has a superior gate this time. Justin P Stanley is back in the saddle, and she can go one better. MISS SEATTLE (4) had an excuse when finishing out of the money here last start, and she is worth another chance after some good runs before that. REGGIE'S BOY (6) ran on late last time out in the same race as the top pick and has a nice swing in his draw this time. He will be peaking fourth up, so stick with him. DEVIL KICK (3) should have finished closer than sixth when resuming from a spell after being held up in the home straight. She handles any track conditions and has sound each-way claims in this. INCHING CLOSER (2) completed a hat-trick of wins when scoring last start at an Innisfail picnic meeting. He is not badly treated at the weights and can win again.

At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at Mackay Hcp on March 10 over 1300m, slow going 1.5 len behind Acrophobic with 60.5kg at $3. Before that sat on the pace when 3rd of 11 at this track Hcp on February 27 over 1300m, 0.6 len behind Bold Type with 58.5kg at $4.20. Others read better. Will find this tough; not today.

Second run back. First-up after nine months 6th of 11 at this track Hcp on February 27 over 1300m, 3.5 len behind Bold Type carrying 55kg at $41. Previously second-up 3rd of 8 at Rockhampton Cl3 on December 1 2023 over 1400m, 1.4 len behind Rose Of Taormina with 56kg at $8. Will strip fitter this time and cannot be underestimated.

Useful mare. At the latest run 8th of 11 at this track Hcp on February 27 over 1300m, 6 len behind Bold Type carrying 54kg at $18. The race before that 2nd in a small field at this track Hcp on February 13 over 1200m, on a slow track; 0.7 len behind Stick To Your Guns carrying 54kg at $6. This is well within her grasp.

Racing well. Most recently raced on the pace when 2nd of 11 at this track Hcp on February 27 over 1300m, 0.5 len behind Bold Type with 54kg at $3. The start before that favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a head at this track Bm72 February 13 over 1400m on a rain affected track defeating Finsceal carrying 57kg at $3.10. Expected to measure up.
