Townsville Race 5 - Ray White Geaney Kirkwood (Bm70)

INNOVATES (9) looks well placed after a sound first-up third in a CL4 at Cairns, where he travelled into it and finished within 1.5L of the winner. Is sure to have come on with that run under his belt the low draw will give him a great look. BRAVE AGENDA (4) is the main danger after scoring here last week. Can keep the ball rolling fourth-up. ROCK THE SUNRISE (3) also arrives in winning form, having scored narrowly at Ewan after a BM60 win at this venue, and his 1400m record keeps him right in the race despite a tougher assignment. DARTS DALY (10) was plain as favourite first-up at Cairns, but the rise to 1400m and weight relief give him a path to improve if he begins cleanly. ELLIS BEACH (5) failed as favourite when resuming but gets weight relief and can cause a late scare if the pace is genuine.

Worked home strongly first-up in a Class 6 at this track, finishing sixth to Colleano and beaten three and a half lengths after racing wide throughout and being steadied late. Proven at this track and trip, though others bring sharper recent form.

Comments

Finished well held in a Class 6 at this venue last start after racing wide and weakening out of it, so that result is difficult to ignore despite the excuse. His BM65 win prior, when he beat Rock The Sunrise by a nose on soft ground, reads much better. A sharper finish is required.

Returns from a one-month freshening in winning form, having driven hard to beat Medal by a nose at Ewan over 1750m after starting favourite. That followed a BM60 win at this track, where he finished strongly to beat Toranaga by a neck. Proven at 1400m and must be respected.

Comments

Comes off a determined BM65 win at this track last week, beating Intruder by a nose after travelling handy and fighting hard late. She rises in grade, but she has a win and three placings from nine starts at this track and distance and handles soft ground well enough. Rises in grade, but the profile is strong.

Had a genuine excuse when ninth to Brave Agenda in a BM65 here last week, making some ground from well back after interference around the home turn. The run prior was only fair as favourite behind Ready Tiger over 1609m, but he gets weight relief and has two wins from nine attempts around 1400m. Place claims are stronger than the winning case.

Resumed with a solid third in a Class 4 at Cairns, beaten a length and a half by Bancory Bay after travelling well and picking up strongly late. He was also runner-up in a BM65 at Oak Park before that and brings a strong overall place record. Second-up, suited at 1400m and sets the standard.

Comments

Was disappointing as favourite at Cairns first-up, finishing eighth in a BM62 after beginning slowly and offering only a moderate finish. His previous third in a BM56 at Coleraine came after racing wide, and he now gets significant weight relief. Weight relief and 1400m help, but he has to be cleaner early.
