Mackay tips and results

Our price $5.00 · SP $5.00 · Aidan Holt

Maps perfectly from the inside to control or sit handy in a slow-run 2000m. Fresh off a strong Class 3 second at Townsville and handles Good ground well. Main risk is the sole ordinary 2000m effort.

Our price $6.50 · SP $5.50 · Tom Orr

Last-start winner who maps to control from barrier 3 in a race lacking genuine depth. Recent form is solid at the grade and the slow tempo suits a leader.

Our price $2.40 · SP $2.40 · Ben Kennedy

Bonewood is the clear form standout. Light 54kg, barrier 4 and prior Mackay win suit the Good track and slow-tempo map that favours those settling handy.

Our price $5.00 · SP $4.40 · Ryan Wiggins

Spirit Of Mac brings reliable local form including a recent Class 3 1300m second at Mackay. Barrier 2 and Wiggins booking allow a perfect on-pace settle in the expected slow tempo. Class drop from Class 5 and track affinity offset the 60kg.

Our price $7.00 · SP $15.00 · Georgina Cartwright

Zaya is the map horse as the sole genuine leader in a projected slow tempo on a track that rewards first-three at the 400m.

Our price $2.80 · SP $3.60 · Dylan Turner

Atomic Time is the clear form horse with three consecutive close finishes including a Mackay 1200m second. Maps to settle handy behind the moderate tempo which suits Mackay Good patterns.

Our price $4.50 · SP $3.50 · Ben Kennedy

Stylish Rosie is a progressive filly who improved sharply to finish third over this trip on Good ground last start. Lightly raced profile with upside and suitable conditions. Maps midfield but has the turn of foot to feature if the race opens up. Strong each-way claims in a volatile maiden.

Our price $11.00 · SP $17.00 · Georgina Cartwright

Mo Spirit is overpriced given the perfect inside draw and ability to lead or sit on-pace in a race shape that favours those tactics at Mackay.

Our price $3.80 · SP $3.40 · Dylan Turner

However Good-track record (0-2-0) and last-start flop temper win confidence versus Moochi. Still a major threat if he settles handy and uses his turn of foot under moderate tempo.

Our price $7.50 · SP $16.00 · Ben Kennedy

Excelboom holds the map key from barrier 1 and can control a moderate tempo that historically wins at Mackay. Ideal profile for this circuit and grade.

Our price $6.00 · SP $12.00 · Adam Sewell

Maps midfield but can improve into the first half under moderate tempo for clear each-way value in a volatile race.

Our price $7.50 · SP $7.00 · Nikki Olzard

Our price $14.00 · SP $51.00 · Chris Mc Iver

Blinkers go on for the first time.

Our price $3.50 · SP $3.90 · Ryan Wiggins

Keitel brings the strongest pure form and class via his authoritative Rockhampton Open win over Quothquan and Zoology. Despite the 2000m query and projected mid-back map, his tactical speed, Wiggins booking and later-race timing (bias softens) make him the most likely winner on overall ability. Weight is manageable given prior carries.

Our price $12.00 · SP $21.00 · Nikki Olzard

The Penske File is the ultimate Mackay 2000m specialist with two wins at the trip and outstanding local stats. Maps to control or sit handy under a red-hot Olzard.

Our price $6.00 · SP $5.50 · Ivo Fry

Current form is excellent with back-to-back seconds including a narrow Mackay BM70 defeat. Settles midfield and will relish the very fast tempo that pressures the leaders. Light weight and recent fitness make him a reliable each-way/place chance who can snare the win if the race unfolds as mapped.

Our price $11.00 · SP $14.00 · Molly Bourke

Last-start Mackay winner who is clearly improving. Gear changes look positive and the midfield draw is ideal for a very fast tempo.
