Townsville Race 1 - 2Yo Classic 6Th June Hcp
The babies kick us off. It's hard to knock the form of ALBERTA BOUND (1) who has three wins and a second from just four starts to date and strikes a very winnable contest here. Draws low and can continue the rich vein of form. TAMBO'S SISTER (6) shed the maiden tag over this track and trip last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that breakthrough victory. Can go right on with the job now. ASK ME EDI (4) just ran into one better here on debut and will have taken some benefit from that day at the races. Top-three candidate with natural improvement. CARLANDO (2) looked good saluting at Cairns when facing the starter for the first time and winning hoop Thomas sticks in the saddle. In the mix. PERSEFONO (8) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be underestimated.

Resuming after a four month break. Not seen since posting a big 4.5 len win Cairns 2yo Hcp December 20 over 950m slow track defeating Chica Poderosa carrying 60kg at $1.16. On debut second of 12 at this track 2yo Mdn-Sw October 25 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Better Blitzem with 55kg at $5. Shapes up nicely.

Was at big odds at debut, 2nd of 10 at this track 2yo Mdn on March 31 over 1000m, on a slow track; 1.2 len behind Tambo's Sister carrying 59kg at $31. Plenty of improvement to come and is among the leading contenders.

Most recently favourite; won by 1.2 len at this track 2yo Mdn March 31 over 1000m in soft going defeating Ask Me Edi with 57.5kg at $1.75. The start before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track 2yo SW on February 27 over 1000m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Better Blitzem carrying 55kg at $8. Open to further improvement and will prove tough to beat.

Third-up today. First-up got back early second last in a small field at Cairns 2yo Hcp on March 26 over 950m, in the wet; 8 len behind Persefono carrying 56.5kg at $31. Second run from a spell was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by a head at Cairns 2yo Mdn-Sw April 9 over 950m on a soft track defeating Stable Investment carrying 56kg at $31. Harder here but can feature in the finish.

Second-up. First-up after five months 5th of 10 at this track 2yo Mdn on March 31 over 1000m, slow going 6 len behind Tambo's Sister with 57.5kg at $26. Previously second-up second last of 9 at Cairns 2&3yo Mdn on November 16 over 950m, 12 len behind Alberta Bound carrying 58kg at $31. This looks too tough.
