Townsville Race 3 - Dans Automotive Mdn Hcp

OVERLAND (3) has the strongest winning case after consecutive seconds at this venue, beaten a nose two back and a long neck on soft ground last time when sent out favourite. He has been costly for punters, but his recent margins and Ryan Wiggins staying involved keep him on top. ROTH AUTHORITY (7) is the logical danger, having placed at his past two runs at this track and already shown he handles the 1609m. He has finished behind OVERLAND recently, yet his consistency gives him a breakthrough chance. BUSH ETIQUETTE (11) brings lighter-weight appeal and was not far away when fourth here last time out. In the mix. MOONYA LAD (1) consistent maiden with four straight placings and Ben Kennedy back aboard. The first try at 1609m is the query but include.

Comments

Has been very honest without winning, placing at his past four and backing up after finishing second at Ewan over 1200m, beaten five and a half lengths as favourite. Two back he was third at Cairns, beaten just over two lengths after settling handy and laying out in the straight. The first try at 1609m is the query, but he has place claims.

Led into the straight at this track last start but was quickly swamped and finished second last, beaten over 13 lengths, after being unwanted in the market. His Bowen debut was only fair in a small field and he now tries 1609m for the first time. Others bring far stronger form.

Comments

Went within a long neck of breaking through at this track on soft ground last start after settling just off the lead and being pipped late as favourite. That followed a nose defeat at this venue over 1400m, so the current form is strong for a maiden of this depth. The mile record is not perfect, but his current form sets the standard.

Had excuses at Ewan last start when bumped early, racing wide throughout and hanging out before finishing sixth, beaten nine and a half lengths. That was still another beaten run after finishing tenth at Bowen, where he also had a wide passage. Big improvement required.

Comments

Was only beaten just over two lengths in a 3yo+ Class 1 at this track last start, and the run had merit after he was tightened early and held up in the straight at long odds. The concern is that he has been unplaced in all six starts and was beaten just over eight lengths at Mackay the run prior. Still winless and unplaced from six, so caution remains.

Back after five weeks since a Toowoomba fifth where he settled rearward, moved into the race and then failed to finish it off, beaten six lengths. He had earlier made some ground from the back at Kilcoy without threatening. Still unplaced from five, but has enough upside for minor money.

Continued his consistent campaign when third at this track last start, beaten just over two lengths by Sneaky Peaky after keeping on solidly. He was also third here two back, beaten a length by Okay Zoomer, and has placed at his only try around 1609m. Overland is the line to turn around, but he is a major chance.

Ran better than her price suggested in a 3yo+ Class 1 at this track last start, finishing fourth and beaten just under a length after being held up and tightened in the straight. The run prior was a plain last in a Benchmark 50 at Mackay over 1100m. First go at 1609m is the test, and she still has to back it up.

Comments

Was well beaten at Ewan last start, finishing ninth and beaten over 12 lengths after settling back and giving away too much start. His previous fifth at this venue over 1000m was more encouraging, beaten just over a length at big odds after picking up late. Weight relief helps, though 1609m is new territory.

Comments

Failed to build on a close Mackay second when finishing second last at this track last start, beaten just under six lengths after knuckling at the start and making late ground from too far back. That previous run, when beaten just over half a length as a well-supported favourite, is the form he has to recapture. Has ability to run on, but trust is the issue.

Comments

Has put together two sound fourths, most recently at this track when beaten two and a half lengths by Sneaky Peaky on soft ground. Before that he boxed on at Cairns over 1450m after being unwanted in the market. Long maiden record is the knock, but he is a live chance.

Comments

Has been safely held in both recent runs, finishing eighth at Bowen over 1000m after being hampered at the start and beaten eight lengths. He was also eighth at Mackay two back, beaten over 11 lengths after beginning awkwardly and racing wide. Hard to make a strong case.
