Runner Comments

1. Prime Ruler	Last start win at Cairns took streak to four in a row and a track specialist winning three times at Townsville. Should be right in the finish.
2. Simply Splashing	Bolted in last start at Cairns on a soft track but has not won at Townsville previously. Graham Kliese a bonus but still hard to get enthused.
3. Fanaar	Struck interference at start 5-1/4 len 5th of 10 (4) $7.50 58.0 Ahooshu 1100m Mackay Open Hcp Soft(5) July 1. Raced erratically. Hung out during race 4-1/2 len 11th of 14 (3) $26.00 54.0 Cabalo Escuro 1300m Mackay Open Hcp Good(4) July 15.
4. So You Dream	Began awkwardly. Overraced early stages. Wide throughout 4-1/2 len last of 6 (6) $5.00 57.0 Schappose 1560m Mackay Open Hcp Soft(5) July 1. Shifted out at start sht hd, sht nk 3rd of 8 (2) $5.00 59.0 Simply Splashing, Battle Cry 1400m Cairns Open Hcp Soft(5) July 28.
5. Inching Closer	Can't knock the form with three wins from 12 attempts this campaign but without a win in three runs at Townsville. Should race on the speed. This looks too strong.
6. Funky Music	Only just missed in driving finish last start at Townsville and has two placings from six runs this prep. Concern is the wide barrier. Outsider.
7. Let's Go Bobby	Finished midfield last start at Mackay and won four of nine as a favourite. Must respect.
8. Zouvilla	On a seven day back-up and is yet to salute in four runs this prep. Returns to shorter trip. Knockout hope.
9. Family Star	Narrowly beaten when heavily backed last start at Townsville and has outstanding form at this track. Has won four of seven on a softer track. Commands respect.
10. El Of A Saga	Can't knock the form with two wins from nine attempts this campaign and chased well to fall just short last start at Cairns. Won't be far away in the run. One of the main hopes.
11. Helmaz	Short back-up of seven days and is yet to salute in five runs this prep. Denicious Smith not a regular jockey for this trainer. Not keen.
12. Isis Carmella	Laid out in straight 1/2 len win of 3 (3) $1.70F 61.0 Fire King, Agustawynd 1200m Mackay 3yo Hcp Soft(5) July 1. Laid out in straight 2-1/4 len 2nd of 10 (6) $2.60F 61.0 Mississippi Prince 1300m Mackay 3yo Hcp Good(4) July 15.
13. Love Express	On a seven day back-up and conditions a real condern. Unplaced in all four runs this prep. Sneaky chance.
14. Gdansk	Chased strongly to win last start at Cairns on a soft track and in strong form with two wins from seven attempts this campaign. Should race on the speed. Place only.
15. Zeppelin	Won at big odds last start at Cairns on a soft track and draws to do no work. No wins in six past runs at Townsville. Cannot entertain.
16. Starhattan	Laid in concluding stages 1-1/4 len win of 11 (6) $7.00 54.5 Kahaylaan, Proximate Cause 1300m Mackay Plate (C3) Good(4) July 23. 1-3/4 len 6th of 13 (2) $9.50 59.5 Poetic Attacks 1400m Townsville F&M (Bm70) Good(4) Aug 4.
17. Validar	Finished midfield last start at Townsville and has outstanding form at this track. Drawn out wide. Appears safely held.
18. Focus	2-1/2 len 5th of 12 (9) $5.00 54.5 Family Star 1200m Townsville (Bm75) Soft(5) July 21. Sht 1/2 hd 2nd of 13 (5) $9.50 55.5 Tempo 1200m Townsville Hcp (C6) Good(4) Aug 4.
