Townsville

Today, Flat6fSoft
Verdict

QUEEN OF RUSSIA (10) has the right profile to break through after two placings from as many runs this campaign, the latest a third at this track when sent out favourite and beaten a length and a half by Belinda's Rubi. The 1400m is new, but she is race fit, handled soft ground here and has already beaten Blazing Future at their recent meeting. BLAZING FUTURE (1) is the logical danger from barrier one after closing off for fourth in the same race, beaten just under two lengths, and he has two placings from seven tries around this distance. MOONYA LAD (4) has been costly but consistent, with five placings from nine starts and a narrow fourth over 1609m at this venue last time. TOWERS HILL (6) brings back-to-back seconds from Bowen and Ewan, and although this is stronger company than last week's picnic placing, his recent form is sound enough to give him a genuine winning chance.

    Verdict
    Went close at this track last start, finishing third over 1200m when sent out favourite and beaten a length and a half after travelling well and letting down neatly. Her Bowen third first-up was also sound, and she has placed in both runs this campaign. New 1400m task is a query, but she looks the one to beat.

    Verdict
    Continues to race honestly, finishing fourth at this track last start over 1609m when favourite and beaten just over half a length after taking over early in the straight. He had earlier run second at Ewan, and his season record reads well without a win. New 1400m setup is the query, but the recent form is strong.

    Verdict
    Closed off solidly for fourth at this track last start, beaten just under two lengths by Belinda's Rubi after settling midfield and picking up well on soft ground. That followed another fourth at Hawkesbury, where he was handy but could not finish it off. With two placings around this trip, he has the right profile to test the favourite.

    Verdict
    Makes his debut with four trials behind him, the latest a solid third at Townsville, so there is at least some race-day readiness to work with. He is a half brother to G3 winner Chivalry and was most recently a $700 purchase after previously making $10,000. Interesting, but race pressure is the test.

    Verdict
    Was close enough at this track last start when fifth over 1609m, beaten just over a length by Overland, though he settled back and did not quicken when required. His Toowoomba fifth before that was more one-paced, beaten six lengths after moving up to the turn. A place is the realistic target.

    Verdict
    Comes in off two seconds, most recently at Bowen where he was beaten a length and a half after some market support. This is harder than last week's picnic company, but he is race fit, has placed at this distance, and the booking of Aidan Holt is a plus. Harder than Bowen, but he is going well enough to be a major player.

    Verdict
    Dropped out sharply in a BM65 at Rockhampton last start, finishing second last and beaten over 13 lengths at big odds after having every chance near the speed. His previous second at this track in a Class 1 was much better, beaten a neck at huge odds, but he has to reproduce that spike rather than the latest plain run. The earlier placing gives some hope, though a sharp rebound is required.

    Verdict
    Returns from a one-month freshening after an eighth at this track, beaten just under five lengths over 1609m, with stewards noting he raced keenly and was steadied midrace. He had been closer the run prior when seventh, beaten two and a half lengths, but the 14-start maiden record and no placings remain clear knocks. Place claims only if he finds more late.

    Worked home better than the result suggests when sixth at this track last start, beaten just under three lengths behind Belinda's Rubi after settling well back. He had also made ground from the rear for fifth at this venue two back at big odds. Place at best unless he settles closer.

    Verdict
    Was safely held at this track last start, finishing eighth over 1609m and beaten five and a half lengths without a clear excuse. The run prior in a Class 1 was much better, beaten just under a length after being held up and tightened, but she did not quicken when clear. Her prior Class 1 fourth was better, but she must lift sharply.

    Verdict
    Placed again at Bowen last week, finishing third as favourite and beaten a length and a half after jumping awkwardly. She had split Belinda's Rubi and key rivals at this track six days earlier at long odds, so the quick back-up is not a concern. The 35-start maiden record is the knock, but she is a live place hope.

    Verdict
    Resumes after two months off following an eighth at Mackay, where she was beaten seven and a half lengths after racing keenly early and only battling to the line. Her previous fifth at Rockhampton was better, beaten just under two lengths after beginning awkwardly. Her Rockhampton fifth reads better than the latest, so she can chase a placing.

    Verdict
    Has gone backwards through the campaign, finishing tailed off over 1609m at this track last start after settling rearward. He was also beaten over 12 lengths at Ewan the run prior, again giving away a big start and never threatening. Has to turn his form around significantly.

    Verdict
    Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing last in a BM68 at Bowen, beaten over 15 lengths at big odds and hanging out from the 600m. His prior Rockhampton run was only fair when second last, and his career record shows one placing from 13 starts. The claim helps, yet he has a lot to find.
