Townsville Race 5 - Ladbrokes Blackbook Hcp

STATS (3) resumes here but the form he showed when last in work was good enough to feature in a race like this. Has a handy first-up record and a strong showing while fresh would not surprise. FAMILY STAR (2) loves this track and trip with three wins and seven placings from just 12 attempts and will be rock-hard fit for this. Hard to beat in this suitable contest. YOUR TOO GOOD (4) has only missed a drum once in seven first-up efforts and has won two from three over this course and distance. Has to be included in calculations. GOSSIP TORQUE (6) will strip fitter second-up from the spell and draws the inside alley. In the mix. PRIME RULER (1) next best.

Second-up. Comes off a 48-day let-up. First-up after five months second last of 7 at Cairns Hcp on February 15 over 950m, on heavy track; 8 len behind Bold Type carrying 59.5kg at $7. Previously second-up 3rd of 8 at Cairns Hcp on June 10 over 1250m, 2.5 len behind Go Getaboy carrying 59.5kg at $13. Has a solid second-up record and can play a role with natural improvement.

At the latest run ran last in a small field at this track Hcp on March 22 over 1200m, slow going 4 len behind Acrophobic with 55.5kg at $12.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of six months. Finished off last preparation fifth of 7 at Bowen Hcp September 27 over 1200m, 3 len behind Northern Pride with 56.5kg at $2.30. Previous preparation first-up favourite; won by 0.9 len Cairns Cl6-Sw July 18 over 1250m slow track defeating Outback Action carrying 57kg at $8.50. Looks very hard to beat while fresh.

Second-up. First-up after five months gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 8 at this track Bm65 on March 22 over 1000m, on a slow track; nose behind Roth 'N' Bubble with 58.5kg at $6. Previously second-up ran last of 8 at Moranbah Bm60 on June 8 over 1000m, 21 len behind Mr Tangles with 62.5kg at $5.50. Genuine galloper and cannot be discounted.
