Townsville Race 6 - The Ville Mayor's Cup

SIGIRIYA ROCK (4) was below his best when finishing ninth fresh up at Mackay over 1300m last start, but that effort can be overlooked. He was formerly very consistent when racing in Victoria, and we expect him to improve sharply, and be the one to beat this time. PRINCE AKEEM (7) was not far away in his latest outing at this track and looks suited stepping up in distance. He has been a durable veteran for a long time, and from a good draw, he will be hard to hold out. EL PENSADOR (9) is nearing peak fitness after another honest effort for fifth at Mackay last start just over 2 weeks ago. He has been holding his form strongly deep into this prep, and he can figure in the top 3. CIFONELLI (11) caught the eye with a strong closing effort to finish close up in third here last start. He seldom puts a hoof wrong, and another big run is on the cards. ACROPHOBIC (1) has been struggling to find his best form this prep, but he is top weight in this for a reason. Don't drop him yet.

Second-up. First-up after seven months 9th of 12 at Mackay Bm70 on July 17 over 1300m, 4.5 len behind Line 'Em Up Loui with 63.5kg at $11. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and won by 1.75 len at Geelong Bm70 October 23 over 1700m in soft going defeating Albanian I Am carrying 57.5kg at $3. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time.
