Cairns Race 7 - Ladbrokes Top 2/3/4 Betting Hcp
CHOIR BOY (9) resumed this grade at Townsville and needed the outing. He went back three weeks following, and missed a whisker in a 70 over this distance. He rides the speed and tumbles in weight at this level. Strips fitter, and the speedy galloper can go one better. VINCENZO (8) resumes and has switched from a NSW barn. He's proven fresh and would win this at best. Uses the rail and gets in well with the 2kg claim. STATS (4) has threatened this grade at Townsville at his last two and has a key jockey switch to Wiggins. Draws awkwardly, but can't be ruled out. LETMELETGO (2) draws inside and may be the one to control the race. He was outgraded at Rockhampton last time, but his form prior stacks up. He's sure to give a sight.

Useful gelding. At the latest run raced on the pace before fading 10th of 14 at Rockhampton Fitzroy Qlty on May 4 over 1300m, slow going 4 len behind Lost In Transit with 55kg at $26. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at Mackay Hcp on April 1 over 1200m, slow going 1.3 len behind Sunnycoast carrying 60kg at $6. Rates highly. Chance to return to form.

Second-up. First-up after eight months 6th of 10 at Mackay Hcp on May 1 over 1200m, 3 len behind Rubunkar with 54kg at $26. Previously second-up 7th of 13 at Rockhampton Hcp on June 30 over 1600m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Under The Cap with 54.5kg at $26. Has won second up before but this looks a bit rich.

Most recently raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at Mt Garnet Hcp on May 3 over 1800m, 6 len behind Love On Sunday with 60.5kg at $6. The run before that second last of 7 at this track Hcp on April 19 over 1500m, slow going 4 len behind Herne Hill carrying 59kg at $18. Cannot recommend.
