Mackay Race 4

Ladbrokes Mega Multi (Bm62)

Prize Money: $21,000

FLYING ANIMO (6) was outgraded at Rockhampton last time but his heavily bet form prior stacks right up for this. Led and just missed here two starts back and he's won 2/4 over this shorter trip. He can bounce right back. BETTA THAN PRESLEY (2) resumed with a strong on-speed win over this journey at Rockhampton. Has switched from a Gold Coast yard and hasn't missed a beat. Fitter and shapes as a key contender. LA PETITE MAISON (1) just missed this track/trip three back and was close up in a 65 at Townsville last time. Cormack is a positive jockey booking and he's capable of making the finish. SPIRIT OF MAC (5) was beaten 1.7L here this grade, building on the first-up win at Townsville. With the extra fitness he's also a hope.

Most recently 6th of 10 at Townsville Bm65 on April 14 over 1000m, 1.5 len behind Lowlands with 60.5kg at $5. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at this track Bm65 on April 2 over 1200m, 6 len behind Dealing's Done with 60.5kg at $6. Encouraging effort last start. Best form stacks up so worth another chance.

Second-up. Comes off a 38-day let-up. First-up after five months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.6 len at Rockhampton Cl1 March 24 over 1050m on a rain affected track defeating Tenner carrying 59kg at $5. Previously second-up 2nd of 11 at Beaudesert Mdn on August 16 over 1200m, 0.8 len behind Onatare carrying 59.5kg at $7. Can continue his winning ways. In the money when second up in the past and can add to that record today.

At the latest run 8th of 13 at Rockhampton Cap Class 3&4yo on April 12 over 1300m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Kohler Kid with 57.5kg at $13. The run before that won by 0.9 len at this track Bm55 March 19 over 1200m in soft going defeating Badlifedecision with 60.5kg at $1.95. Decent chance to bounce.
