Cairns Race 2 - Austhai Mdn Plate
ESSAY WINE (5) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when third at this track over 1250m, beaten 0.7 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. Top chance. SHE'S GOT LYRICS (7) is on a 10-day back-up after finishing in the money over 1200m at Townsville. Nice run last time and will be hard to beat. RADIO WAVES (3) is a seven-start maiden who could only manage to finish tenth at his latest appearance over 1000m at Townsville after he was well back on straightening. Worth including in this suitable contest. NOT A WORRY (1) returns after ten months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 2210m at Ipswich. Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.
