Townsville Race 5 - Hygain Hcp
BURLINGTON ARCADE (3) grows a leg for hoop Wiggins who has two wins and a placing from just three steers and has been racing in a rich vein of form this campaign. Will be right there when the whips are cracking. NOTTINGTON PRINCE (2) returned in good order with a solid dead heat win around this circuit and rider Sandkuhl sticks in the stirrups. Again gets the benefit of her 2kg claim and can go right on with the job now. CAROHVIC (5) has two wins and two seconds from eight spins at this track and will be high on confidence following that last-start win. Top-three commodity. FABULEAN (4) wasn't disgraced in a much richer race last time out and will find this assignment easier. In the mix. AUTUMN GALE (7) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on.

Second-up. First-up after three months won in a dead heat at this track Mdn March 15 over 1000m on a soft track with 60.5kg at $3.90. Previously second-up 2nd of 9 at Ipswich 3yo Mdn-Sw on October 17 over 1350m, on a slow track; long-neck behind Vandevelde carrying 58kg at $5. Strips fitter and a bold showing is expected.

Most recently second last of 8 at this track 3yo Hcp on March 15 over 1000m, in the wet; 8 len behind Carohvic carrying 55kg at $26. The run before that 6th of 14 at this track Bm55 on March 5 over 1200m, slow going 4.5 len behind Aspen Cowboy carrying 56.5kg at $20. Doubt he will offer up too much of a challenge to the top few.
