Townsville Race 3

Ladbrokes Blackbook Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $23,000

Tricky race to assess with a few of these facing the starter for the first time. Of the raced brigade the well-related CAROHVIC (1) (half to Listed winner and G3 placed My Khalifa) just ran into one better here on debut and will have derived a stack of benefit from that day at the races. Doesn't need to improve much to take this out. SECRET CYPHER (5) just ran into one better here at the latest effort in a career-best performance. Can go right on with the job now. TIMINCA (6) wasn't too far away at this circuit on debut before being tipped out for time to furnish. Revved up for this with a recent trial and looks one for the exotics players. LOOK 'N' WIN (9) next in line.

First starter. Two-year-old colt by Sun City out of Intrepid Miss. Half-brother to three-time winner Ardern. Dam was a four-start maiden. At the most recent trial finished fifth on March 7 at Townsville over 850m. Hard to have here barring a strong move in the market given trial form.
