Cairns Race 6

Triple M Cairns (Bm75)

Prize Money: $21,000

TYCOON BEAU (2) has been busting to win in Open grade at Townsville and is well placed to salute in this grade despite the extra weight. 2x winning rider Wiggins stays aboard and will give him every chance from an inside barrier. YAMABUSHI (7) is a distance specialist who has been racing in great heart with two wins on end followed by back-to-back placings here and at Townsville. Draws well and keeps the handy 2kg claim. MANHATTAN'S (8) returns from a spell and is having her first run for a new yard. Missed a whisker from the back at the Sunshine Coast when last seen and the in-form Cormack is a key jockey engagement. Tumbles in weight and that brings her into it. The betting should guide. CHARTWELL (6) was well in the market at Townsville first-up and has no luck. Missed a whisker here prior and has placed 3/4 second-up. Maps well and has been freshened. RECRUITER (4) went close in Open grade at Atherton and also deserves consideration.

Comments

Mare returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation second of 15 at Sunshine Coast 0 - 60 November 28 over 1300m, soft track; a neck behind Cracker Essgee carrying 58kg at $10. When resuming last campaign second last of 9 at Ipswich Bm65 July 17 over 1200m, soft track; 5.5 len behind Flying Shelly with 55.5kg at $8. Looks very hard to beat at best.

Comments

Recent form sound. Returns from a 30-day let-up. Last start won by a nose at Atherton Bm50 January 17 over 1200m in heavy going defeating Laser Beam carrying 61.5kg at $5. The run before that 3rd in a small field at Atherton Bm65 on December 13 over 1200m, 3 len behind Yamabushi with 53kg at $4. Consider.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
