Townsville Race 4 - Tradies Race Day - Friday 18 Sep Hcp

FARAWAY DOWNS (3) didn't measure up in tougher grade at the latest outing but the three runs to start the career were good enough for a race of this calibre. Looks the runner in this line-up with the most upside and a bounce back to form would not surprise. BETTERLUCKNEXTTIME (1) was a touch plain last time out but go on the solid win here two back. Gets some well-needed weight relief with the 3kg claim and can make his presence felt. SUPID DATE (6) has placed over this track and trip and will be ready to peak now third run back from a break. Top-three aspirations. THE KOBAY TRAIN (2) is usually thereabouts and looks a must for the exotics players. POWER CRUISE (9) best of the rest from the inside alley.

Most recently 13th of 16 at this track on August 8 over 1300m, 6 len behind Tambo's Justice carrying 54kg at $101. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a nose at this track on August 1 over 1200m defeating Kirikan carrying 58kg at $17. Better than that latest effort and can improve sharply.

Second-up sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 14 at this track on August 8 over 1609m, 6 len behind Illegal Justice carrying 53kg at $41. Worth considering.

Third-up today. Resuming 5th of 8 at Cairns on July 23 over 950m, slow going 2.5 len behind Smart 'N' Loud carrying 55kg at $4. Second-up raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 8 at this track on August 1 over 1200m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Alberta Bound with 54kg at $10. This harder and tough to see her troubling the top chances this time.
