Townsville Race 5 - Lols Comedy Festival 30th May @ Cluden Park Hcp
Former Victorian BLUE STRATUM (4) has looked handy since joining the new yard with two wins and a second from three local outings. Gets in on the minimum with the claim and looms as the hardest to toss again. LADY DAMUS (3) has a solid second-up record with two wins and a placing from four attempts and should get a cosy run in transit from the inside alley. Can play a major role in the outcome. ROWEINER'S DANCE (1) gets a stack of weight but is a 14-time winner around this circuit and doesn't know how to run a bad race. Another strong showing would not surprise. LA PETITE MAISON (8) was well in the betting at Bowen last start and didn't let backers down with a strong victory. In the mix. HELLISH (2) rounds out the selections.

Most recently favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.5 len at Bowen Open Sw May 10 over 1000m defeating Northernontap carrying 61.5kg at $1.40. The race before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 8 at this track Hcp on April 30 over 1000m, neck behind Lean Eagle with 61.5kg at $3.80. Top chance again.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 8 at this track Hcp on April 30 over 1000m, 6 len behind Lean Eagle with 58.5kg at $7. Second run from a spell 3rd in a small field at Bowen Open Sw on May 10 over 1000m, 2 len behind Roweiner's Dance carrying 61.5kg at $6. Capable enough on his day and should go well.

Second-up. First-up after nine months won by 1.75 len at Cairns Hcp May 15 over 950m in heavy going defeating Lady Damus with 55kg at $3.20. Previously second-up 5th of 7 at Caulfield Heath 3yo Bm64 on May 7 2025 over 1000m, 4 len behind Biancelli carrying 59.5kg at $12. Fitter and looks one of the key chances.

Most recently 4th in a small field at Gordonvale Bm65-Hcp on May 9 over 1100m, slow going 4 len behind New Hampshire carrying 60kg at $7. Before that led to the turn then faded second last of 10 at this track Bm65 on April 14 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Lowlands carrying 58.5kg at $21. Can't recommend.

Last start favourite; won by 1.3 len at Bowen Cl3-Sw May 10 over 1000m defeating Dalt Jaz carrying 61kg at $1.65. The race before that 2nd in a small field at Mackay Bm62 on May 1 over 1050m, 0.5 len behind Better Be Ready carrying 61.5kg at $4.20. Has confidence back and can sneak into the finish again.
