Mackay Race 6 - Premium Partner Ma's Pizza Hcp

PARADE GROUND (3) returned from a spell beaten 2.5 lengths over 1200m at this track. Fitter this time, and tumbles in weight at this level. Has more to offer and will be hard to beat. SCRUB CHAIN (4) impressed last time when he scored by a head over today's journey at this track. Spiked his numbers and also has plenty of weight relief. Peaks and is expected to measure up again. DEMON AWARD (2) knuckled down strongly to get within half a length of the winner first up over 1000m this grade at Townsville. Draws low and he's won 5x over this longer sprint. Proven second up and should be right in it. ANSWERING (8) has been knocking on the door in easier and will be around the mark.

The run before that 2nd in a small field at Rockhampton Bm65 on February 24 over 1050m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Miss Mercy with 58.5kg at $2.70. Not far away of late.
