Townsville Race 3 - Ladbrokes Punter Assist Hcp (55)
FOOLS PLAY (4) got an overdue victory at Cairns at the latest effort and winning hoop Morrison retains the ride. Can go back-to-back. THAT'S IT (1) is a two-time winner here who will be ready to peak now third-up from the break. Top-three aspirations. PRINCESS SHANGHAI (8) shed the maiden tag at the latest outing and will have derived some confidence from that victory. Must be respected now that the penny has dropped. WAR COUNCIL (2) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on.
