Townsville Race 6 - Mitavite Hcp
The penny has dropped for BURLINGTON ARCADE (1) who has strung back-to-back wins together this campaign with Wiggins being in the irons for both victories. Looks the one they all have to run down. MISTER DOOBEE (3) resumes here but the form he showed when last in work was good enough for this contest. Expect a strong run while fresh. VEGAMEISTER (5) boasts a win over this track and trip and gets some weight relief with the 1.5kg claim. Comes here with definite top-three claims. TARONG (4) is first-up but has tuned up for this with a recent trial and may earn some minor money. VERY GOOD (9) has posted two victories in lesser grade and has earned her shot at this level now.

Comes here off a 40-day let-up. Most recently 6th of 9 at this track 3yo Hcp on February 3 over 1000m, 5 len behind Burlington Arcade carrying 56kg at $101. The race before that came from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Atherton Bm58 on January 17 over 1000m, on rain affected going; 5 len behind Gamadale Nip carrying 56kg at $14. Doubt she can reverse that outcome.
