Townsville Race 5 - Ladbrokes Magnetic Island Mile Hcp
SMART LEGEND (1) loves it here around the Townwsville circuit with two wins and a placing from four spins and will be high on confidence following back-to-back victories. Winning hoop Wiggins stays on top and can easily bring up the hat-trick against this line-up. The well-related FREE CARRY (4) (half to Listed winner and G3 placed Sheiswhatsheis) went down by a narrow margin here when having his first run for the new stable and will be better for that hit-out. Only needs some luck navgating from the wide draw to be playing a major role in the finish. GOING NUCLEAR (5) has a handy record over this course and distance only missing a place once from six attempts. Include in calculations. ELLA TE AMA (6) will be ready to peak now fourth run back and draws the inside marble. In the mix. BEAU RAIN (3) next in line.

Chasing a hat-trick. Comes off a 36 day let-up. At the latest run favourite; won by 2 len at Mackay Amateur Cup May 23 over 1800m defeating Journalism carrying 59kg at $2.25. Before that favourite; won by 0.6 len at this track Hcp May 8 over 1400m on a rain affected track defeating Astra Star carrying 57kg at $5.50. Going well and is among the better hopes.
