Mackay Race 2

The Incredable Sprint Hcp

Prize Money: $21,000

BETTER BLITZEM (1) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1000m at Townsville four weeks ago. Has plenty of upside and should go on with it. WASABI BARBIE (9) is a Rock Sturdy filly who was a AUD $4,000 (Magic Millions 2025 Capricornia Yearling Sale) purchase. Placed in a recent trial and should run well on debut. SCOTCH ROCKET (7) is a first-starter by Glenfiddich out of Beau River. Placed in a recent trial. A betting push will add to the confidence. ANDERS KISS (5) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Lachie Manzelmann. By Anders from Stellar Kiss. Proved too sharp in a recent Mackay trial and rates a top-three chance.

Claimed his maiden victory on debut; favourite; won by 2.5 len at Townsville 2yo Mdn-Sw October 25 over 1000m defeating Alberta Bound carrying 57kg at $2.25. Has upside and can make it back-to-back wins to start the career.

Two-year-old gelding (Heroic Valour - Gingersnap). Full-brother to one-start maiden Rocking Frocks. Dam was a winner of 11 races. Will no doubt benefit from the three trials leading in today's debut. Was out of the placings at his most recent trial and might need more time.
