Cairns Race 1 - Magic Millions/Rob Koch Memorial/Fnq Up & Coming Stayers (Bm65)
MISTERKIPCHOGE (1) was in the money two starts back at Townsville but couldn't back it up last time. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. MISS SHU (5) scored narrowly over 1400m at this track last time out with today's jockey Lacey Morrison in the irons. Gets some weight relief this time so she is worth following up. THE HONEY BADGER (4) finished 3.2 lengths away from the winner last time at this track on a heavy surface and gets some weight relief here. Winkers come off this time. Rates well and expected to be competitive. MANHATTAN'S (3) finished third last start over 1400m at Townsville, beaten 4 lengths. Has the talent to find the winners' list.

Second-up. First-up after six months second last of 8 at Atherton 0 - 55 on March 28 over 1400m, on a slow track; 6 len behind The Cops with 61kg at $9. Previously second-up second last in a small field at Gordonvale Bm65 on May 10 over 1800m, 6 len behind Nine Carats with 55kg at $7. This looks too tough.
