Townsville Race 1 - Ladbrokes Punters Assist Mdn Plate
Former NSW galloper MIND OVER MATTER (2) is having his first run for the new stable but should find this assignment easier than what he faced down south. Gets the services of Butler in the irons to navigate from the sticky alley and will be right there when the whips are cracking. The well-related PONTIUS (5) (half to Listed winner Westport) is facing the starter for the first time but has shown ability at the trials and won't need to be a superstar to be competitive against this lot. Worth keeping very safe. MISS KIYOSHI (12) is another on debut and is sure to be well-educated out of the McGuire yard. Monitor market moves. PENROD (4) was a touch disappointing last time out but go on the solid third at the Sunny Coast two back. Worth another chance. SECRET SCOUT (6) best of the rest in a race with a long tail.

Was at long odds at debut, sat behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 10 at Rockhampton 3yo Mdn on November 14 over 1050m, slow going 10 len behind Senzora carrying 57.5kg at $31. Looks tested.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old colt by Jukebox out of Lady Lefevre. Half-brother to two-time winner Our Benefit. Dam was unraced. At the most recent trial finished fourth on November 21 at Mackay over 1050m. Prefer to see.

Comes here off a 50-day let-up. At the latest run second last of 11 at Sunshine Coast Cg&E Mdn on October 24 over 1200m, 7 len behind Trymesoon carrying 55.5kg at $4. The run before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 13 at Sunshine Coast Mdn on October 10 over 1200m, 1.2 len behind Nanterre with 56.5kg at $11. Best form stacks up so he is worth another chance.

Steven Royes trained three-year-old gelding lining up for debut. Half-brother to Listed winner Westport. Dam was a seven-start maiden. Scored in a recent Newcastle trial. Good draw will assist chances. Trained on the course and should make a bright start to his career.

Third-up today. First-up second last in a small field at Gold Coast Poly Mdn on October 25 over 1200m, 10 len behind Ariyah with 59.5kg at $3.50. Second-up eased back early on 6th of 9 at Cairns 2&3yo Mdn on November 16 over 950m, 10 len behind Alberta Bound carrying 60kg at $4. Strips fitter and looks a great chance to break through.

Comes here off a 32-day let-up. Most recently sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 8 at Mackay Mdn on November 11 over 1100m, 13 len behind Rum Runner carrying 55kg at $31. The run before that 10th of 12 at Beaudesert Mdn on September 18 over 1100m, slow going 11 len behind Innervisions carrying 54kg at $41. Likely to find this race too hard again.

First starter by Sensei out of Edinglassie Girl purchased for AUD $3,500 (Magic Millions 2024 Gold Coast March Yearling Sale). Half-sister to winner Edinglassie Flyer. Dam was a winner of one race. Has a total of four trials leading in today's debut. Coming along well at the trials with a minor placing at her most recent and a watch on betting is advised.

Most recently 5th of 11 at Mackay Mdn on December 6 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind Bitter Spirit with 54kg at $151. The start before that sat on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 7 at Cairns Mdn-Sw on November 25 over 950m, 17 len behind Haphazard carrying 55kg at $15. Struggling to make an impact and happy to risk again.
