Townsville Race 5 - Ladbrokes Blackbook Hcp
RELEASE LE MISSILE (7) was slow off at Mackay when looking to win four on the trot. Carries 3.5kg less in this grade and keeps the in-form Butler. He can bounce back. STRATHCONA (3) lost his rider at the start here and then was back to his winning ways at the track/trip in a 72. Maps well and a 2x winning rider is reunited. CASTILE (2) was beaten 2L in the same contest, digging deep. Also switched to a 2x winning rider and he's in the mix.

Useful type. Last start raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.5 len at this track Bm72 March 6 over 1609m defeating Finsceal carrying 59kg at $4.80. The start before that didn't finish the race at this track Bm72 February 13 over 1400m. Going well and can measure up.

Useful type. Last start 3rd of 7 at Mackay Bm70 on March 10 over 1560m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Deciduous with 59kg at $3.60. The start before that settled well back; won by 0.8 len at Bowen Cl3 January 24 over 1810m defeating Finsceal carrying 60kg at $1.45. Well placed. Well-placed to make amends.
