Townsville Race 2 - Townsville Earthmoving Mdn Hcp
BLAZING FUTURE (1) steps out in new colours and drops back from two provincial fourths at Hawkesbury. The two-month freshening, inside draw, and positive gear angle give him enough upside. IT'S SHOWTIME (3) is the most reliable exposed maiden, fourth at this track last start after a Cairns second and already placed five times from seven attempts at the distance. BELINDA'S RUBI (9) is better judged on her third at this venue two runs ago, when well-supported favourite and beaten just over half a length, rather than the Bowen run where she raced wide throughout. TOI TOI (8) was pipped at this venue two back and had some interference late at Bowen, so she remains a genuine place-to-winning hope if she handles the rise back to 1200m. FARNANHEIT (2) has caught the eye in his last two and can cause a late scare if the pace is genuine.

Returns from a two-month let-up after two sound Hawkesbury fourths over 1500m, the latest beaten three and a half lengths by Rapid Revenue in soft-ground provincial company. The drop back to 1200m is a query, but he has placed twice around this trip, draws barrier 1 and adds a positive gear change. Draws barrier 1, adds blinkers and looks well placed to break through.

Worked home from well back when fifth at this track over 1400m last start, beaten a length and a half at long odds in provincial company. He had also made some late ground over 1000m at this venue two back without threatening. Place claims, though a couple of key rivals hold him.

Back after four weeks following another honest effort at this track, finishing fourth over 1400m and beaten a length and a half by Okay Zoomer near the top of an open market. That followed a Cairns second where he covered ground and just lacked the last kick. Fourth here last start after a Cairns second and has clear winning claims.

Improved sharply second-up when third at Bowen over 1000m, beginning awkwardly before tracking the speed and working home evenly to be beaten just under three lengths. Has upside from only two starts, though this asks for another step forward. Worth keeping safe for a minor spot.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending his last campaign with a worrying Wodonga run, where he was eased down and beaten out of sight after a cardiac arrhythmia was reported. His previous Wangaratta fourth was still beaten eight and a half lengths on heavy ground. Unplaced in seven starts and has to prove himself at 1200m.

Third-up now and worth another chance after finishing fifth at Bowen, where she was steadied late and beaten five and a half lengths after being near the top of an open market. Her previous second at this track was much better, beaten just over half a length by Zemoreya on soft ground. Her narrow second at this track two back gives her genuine place claims.

Had a clear excuse at Bowen last start, racing wide throughout before finishing ninth and beaten eight and a half lengths behind Ceretti. Her prior third at this venue was far stronger, when well-supported favourite and beaten just over half a length on soft ground. Lighter weight and track form make her a strong chance.

Comes out of picnic grade after being sent out favourite at Gladstone and finishing fourth, beaten five and a half lengths, with stewards noting he lost ground in the middle stages. The Mackay fourth before that was also safely held at long odds. Weight relief helps, but the 1200m profile is thin.

Made some late ground when sixth at this track over 1400m last start, beaten just over two lengths by Okay Zoomer after beginning slowly and being unwanted in the market. Her Cairns ninth prior was weaker, and the 33-start maiden record is hard to overlook. Place hopes only.
