Mareeba Race 5 - Magic Millions/Rob Koch Memorial/Fnq Up & Coming Stayers (Bm65)
AMALFI AMORE (3) ran below expectations last time at Taree, finishing ninth and beaten 10 lengths starting at $6. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. THE HONEY BADGER (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start when he worked home well but found one better over 1800m at Gordonvale, beaten only 0.9 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. INNOVATES (1) scored last start at Gordonvale to make it three wins from six starts this campaign. Expected to be competitive again. REMLAP KAVA (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1560m at Mackay, beaten 9 lengths into ninth. Better than recent efforts suggest.
