Bowen Race 5 - Mcdowall's Panel Works Plate (C3)
NOLAN (1) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his only appearance last prep at Townsville over 1000m on January 6. Top strike rate at the journey with two wins and four placings from six starts and is sure to go well. BETTER NOT FORGET (7) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks and is having his first outing under new trainer Kris Thomas. Finished fifth at Beaudesert over 1200m at the opening run last time in work. Among the better hopes while fresh. OFFICE POLITICS (3) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten a long neck into second over 1000m at Emerald. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. PRO FORMA (4) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when tenth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1200m at Townsville after he was in the firing line on the turn. Should be peaking now and can find winning form this time.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run gave a sight but was run down late 2nd in a small field at Emerald Bm50 on April 4 over 1000m, long-neck behind High Security carrying 61.5kg at $4.80. The race before that 2nd of 11 at Mackay 0 - 55 on March 19 over 1050m, slow going 0.6 len behind Rum Rumble carrying 57.5kg at $13. One of the better chances.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming didn't finish the race at Townsville Cl3-Sw February 27 over 1000m. Second run from a spell raced on the pace before fading second last of 11 at Townsville Bm60 on March 15 over 1200m, on a wet track; 4.5 len behind Impressionism with 59.5kg at $5.50. Can improve. Better than that and expected to bounce back.

Last start 2nd in a small field at Moranbah Clb on March 28 over 1000m, 7 len behind Scarlet Haze with 59kg at $4.20. Before that 9th of 11 at Mackay 0 - 55 on March 19 over 1050m, slow going 6 len behind Rum Rumble with 56kg at $31. Might find this a bit too tough.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up ran last of 8 at Moranbah Hcp on March 28 over 1000m, 17 len behind Soopat carrying 55kg at $8. Second-up got back early in a small field at Cairns Hcp on April 4 over 950m, on rain affected going; 10 len behind Valenki with 54kg at $18. Hard to have in this company.
