Townsville Race 3 - Hygain Hcp

ALMIGHTY JAB (2) grows a leg for hoop Wiggins who has two wins and a placing from just four steers and has placed over this track and trip. Will be ready to peak now fourth-up from the spell and rates the testing material against this lot. KOBAYASTAR (3) has a handy record over this course and distance with a win and two placings from four attempts and rarely puts in a poor one. Another bold showing is likely. The penny has dropped for BRAVE EDDY (4) who has strung back-to-back wins together with Thomson being in the saddle for both victories. Top-three candidate. HEAD HONCHO (1) strips fitter third-up from the break and may earn a cheque. CULLIVEL (6) next in line.
