Cairns tips and results

Our price $4.00 · SP $4.60 · Lacey Morrison

He maps perfectly from barrier 3 and has the services of Cairns' leading jockey Lacey Morrison. The 950m trip suits and he should be in the finish.

Our price $4.50 · SP $2.80 · Ryan Wiggins

However, she is winless from 6 starts and faces a new track and distance.

Our price $15.00 · SP $31.00 · Chelsea Jokic

Radiant Power has not placed in 4 starts but has run 4th twice over this track and distance, including in Open company. She drops to Maiden class and maps to lead from barrier 6. Value play.

Our price $6.00 · SP $12.00 · Lauren Guernier

Zig Zag Torque has been knocking on the door with two consecutive seconds in weaker company (Atherton Maiden, Laura CL1). She drops back into a Maiden today and has drawn nicely in barrier 5 with light weight. She represents solid each-way value.

Our price $12.00 · SP $31.00 · Krysten Swaffer

Spieth Impediment showed her best form when third at Oak Park (1200m Firm) first up from a spell. She now steps to second up and gets visors first time, which often sharpens concentration. A solid roughie.

Our price $4.00 · SP $5.50 · Ben Kennedy

Barrier 2 allows an economical run forward of midfield, which aligns with Cairns' inside bias and on-pace advantage on soft ground. The 3yo still has scope and handles wet footing.

Our price $10.00 · SP $13.00 · Mitch Goring

Hot Pursuit snapped a poor run with a narrow win at Ingham. She handles soft ground well and the jockey is flying, but barrier 8 is a disadvantage at Cairns where inside draws dominate. Likely to press forward and may be vulnerable late if she over-races. Place chance more than win.

Our price $5.50 · SP $13.00 · Chelsea Jokic

Looming One is a model of consistency at Cairns, especially over 1250m on soft tracks. He rarely wins but regularly fills the placings and is currently in a good patch of form. Each-way play with strong place prospects.

Our price $5.50 · SP $8.50 · Masayuki Abe

Savee is a consistent mare who steps down to BM55 after racing well in higher grades. The removal of concussion plates could help her stride more freely.

Our price $4.00 · SP $3.30 · Ryan Wiggins

Kirikan is the class runner with 38 starts and consistent recent form including a win two starts back. He drops from BM65 to Class2 but carries top weight and must overcome a wide barrier (8) on a track that favours inside draws. His soft track record is modest.

Our price $3.00 · SP $4.20 · Sean Cormack

Perovic is the standout on pure form at this track and distance. Unbeaten in three starts at Cairns over 1900m, he also thrives on soft ground (5 wins from 15 starts). Despite two moderate recent runs, his suitability to the conditions and race shape is unmatched. Barrier 1 allows him to settle handy, exactly what Cairns demands.

Our price $5.50 · SP $6.00 · Ryan Wiggins

Kureder commands respect as the class runner, having won at BM80 level at Eagle Farm. His soft track record is strong and he is proven over staying distances. The last two runs were disappointing, but he drops back in trip and gets a better barrier (4). Ryan Wiggins retains the ride and is in form. If he bounces back, he is a serious threat.

Our price $3.00 · SP $3.10 · Samantha Pointon

Heir Jordan is the most in-form runner with two straight wins, the latest in BM70 company. He has placed at 2100m previously and is reunited with Samantha Pointon who has won on him twice from three rides. Light weight and a manageable class rise make him the horse to beat, despite the soft track being a minor unknown.

Our price $5.50 · SP $8.00 · Nathan Thomas

Stadium Of Light represents the class edge in this race, dropping sharply from Open grade. He has an outstanding Cairns record and is the best wet-track performer on paper. The main concerns are the hefty 62.5kg and a lack of a win at 2100m, but if he can handle the distance he is a serious contender at each-way value.

Our price $5.00 · SP $7.50 · Lauren Guernier

Amalfi Amore has been racing well, winning two of his last five including on heavy ground. He drops from Open grade and gets a light weight. The query is his lack of experience at Cairns and the 2100m trip, but his recent performances suggest he will handle it.

Our price $4.00 · SP $6.50 · Mitch Goring

Buffet Buster drops to a suitable class and has a superb record at Cairns, including three seconds. He maps to settle forward in a slow-run race and is proven on soft ground.

Our price $5.00 · SP $3.90 · Ryan Wiggins

Bancory Bay drops sharply in grade and handles soft ground well, but must overcome top weight and a wide draw. His recent runs in higher grades were modest, and he's untested at Cairns.

Our price $7.00 · SP $8.50 · Ivo Fry

Tsunami is improving and brings strong early speed, which is valuable in a slow-run race. He won his last start convincingly but against weaker opposition and on a firm track. The step up in class and an unproven soft track record are concerns, but he can give a sight.

Our price $6.00 · SP $14.00 · Masayuki Abe

Skogafoss is a consistent performer at Cairns with a strong record on soft ground. He has been placed regularly in similar BM60-65 company and should be in the finish again.

Our price $5.00 · SP $6.00 · Sean Cormack

The Kamikaze has the best course and distance credentials in the field with three wins from six starts at Cairns over 950m. He returned to form with a narrow win at Townsville and Sean Cormack takes over. The wide barrier is a concern but he has overcome that before.

Our price $6.00 · SP $13.00 · Ben Kennedy

Time To Prophet is a mare who goes well fresh with two wins from four first-up attempts. She has a win over this C&D and a strong soft-track record. Barrier 3 is ideal for a forward or midfield position. The lengthy spell is a query but trainer Georgie Holt may have her ready.

Our price $8.00 · SP $9.00 · Chelsea Jokic

Gamadale Nip is in strong form with a last-start win in BM60 company and has been placed in three of his last five. He draws well in barrier 6 with Chelsea Jokic retaining the ride.

Our price $3.30 · SP $5.00 · Sean Cormack

Moegreen has a strong second-up record and a superb jockey/horse combination. His Cairns stats are excellent and he drops in weight with a good barrier. The last-start failure first-up is easily forgiven; he is expected to improve sharply and be a major threat. Excellent each-way value.
