Cairns Racecourse

A race with a standout top pick. LOOMING ONE on a five day back-up and gets the blinkers back on, standout top pick. BRAMBLE on a five day back-up and has two placings from four runs this prep, include in exotics. MISHANI BURN has two placings from five runs this prep and in the money last start running third at Cooktown, capable of getting into the money with a bit of luck. KAMMERZELL HOUSE ran six lengths back from the winner at only start at Kyneton and gets the blinkers back on, consider in exotics.

Moderate tempo with little speed on paper. CORBUSIER only just missed at only start, finishing a neck back from the winner at Innisfail, will take the power of beating. GOLDEN OCTAVIAN first start and in good shape from recent trial successes, capable of getting into the money with a bit of luck. SKOGAFOSS finished half a length back from the leader last start at Innisfail when first up, include in exotics. LOVE 'N' VISION came on to finish midfield last start at Townsville and likely to race on the speed in a race with minimal pressure expected, for the exotics.

FODOR first-up after 23 week spell and has very strong form at Cairns, serious player. BATTLE CRY on a five day back-up and a winner at first outing this prep, don't dismiss. BLUE KENTUCKY MOON won six of 14 as a favourite and seven of 10 wins have come from dry ground, the real danger in the race. ZI WIN finished a length back from the leader last start at Townsville and two from four wins have been in the dry, place only.
