Townsville Race 2 - Mitavite Hcp
KOBAYASTAR (3) spiked her figures when beaten 1L here and then delivered an easy win in an Open 3. She still has more to give and is suited over the longer sprint. Carries 2kg less and can go on with the job. The dual acceptor RUN AWAY RENEE (8) led and was swamped at Rockhampton in a CL1, but missed a whisker in a 55 prior. She was heavily backed in both and has some weight relief. Uses the rail and Stanley is reunited. SWEET KISSES (1) was straight back into the winner's stall when winning at this track/trip in Open grade. Has to carry a big weight at this level, but she'll race forward and 2x winning rider Butler is reunited, replacing Stanley. She's a chance as well. TIME TO PROPHET (4) would be very competitive at best and can show more second up.
