Townsville Race 4 - Thank You Department Of Racing Mdn Hcp
Tricky with several in the race coming north and having first runs for new yards. One of those is former NSW galloper RUN RAYMOND RUN (2). Best form stacks up and is fitter for a recent trial. Expected to be winding up late. ARANCIA (5) wasn't far away two back and then was safely held latest. Best form has been this trip and will push forward and take catching. SHADYVALE AL (8) has been finding it hard to break through but best figures measure up. Drops in weight and worth another chance back in trip. NICCO NOTA FIGHTER (6) placed at first two starts over the 950m dash then was unplaced over 1000m here latest. Stretched out in journey now but has more upside than most. IT'S SHOWTIME (3) is a former NSW galloper having first run in this area after 18 months off the scene. Best form stacks up and has the inside so watch the market moves closely.

At the latest run ran last of 7 at this track Mdn on April 30 over 1400m, 8 len behind Madam Nazar with 58.5kg at $10. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at this track Mdn on April 14 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Princess Shanghai with 59kg at $7. Drops in weight and looks a terrific chance to find best form.

Last start second last in a small field at Home Hill 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on April 18 over 1000m, 7 len behind Missin' De Quo with 57.5kg at $6. The race before that got back early 4th of 8 at Cairns Mdn-Sw on April 9 over 950m, slow going 3 len behind Middle Child carrying 56.5kg at $26. Certainly worth another chance.
