Mackay Race 7 - Book Function Centre For Functions (Bm72)
HENRY'S BLADE (2) peaks off narrow defeats at Townsville and over this trip at Rockhampton following in a strong form race. Has the gate speed to skip across and sit handy, and it's hard to risk the potent Wiggins-Taylor linkage. Tough to beat. ANSWERING (7) found one much too good well supported at Rockhampton last time, but stalked the lead here prior, beaten a whisker over 1100m in Open grade. Carries 4kg less today and Cormack is reunited. He will push forward and should be right in it. DETERMINATION (9) is on a quick backup and is busting to win. Missed a neck at Rockhampton two back, backed off the map. Gets in well enough and has to be considered. LEASE (10) has been racing well and just missed a place from the speed at Rockhampton last time, bet a $2.7 favourite. This is harder, but he maps well and a hefty weight drop brings him into it.

Comes off a 34 day let-up. Last start 3rd in a small field at this track Hcp on February 13 over 1100m, 5 len behind Pipistrelle carrying 54kg at $21. The race before that faded in the straight ran last of 7 at Rockhampton Hcp on January 29 over 1100m, slow going 6 len behind Master Showman carrying 52kg at $19. Will need further improvement to trouble these.

Racing well recently. Last start 4th of 9 at Rockhampton Bm60 on February 24 over 1400m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Our Heart Throb with 57kg at $2.70. The run before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 12 at Rockhampton Cl4-Sw on February 17 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind King Spirit carrying 58kg at $26. Has a low draw and is well in the mix.
