Race context
Race preview
MAYOR OF KINGSTON (4) is on the quick back-up but looks hard to beat if presents on song. Placed in the rich Daintree at Cairns last time, following on from a placing at Mackay. Far easier here and will go close. HI FRANK (5) finished fourth two back then placed last time at Roma. Senior rider aboard and will take catching from the low draw. SMASHING ROSIE (1) was a big winner last time at Longreach and can get the job done again. STARLITE REBEL (2) strips fitter and is among the chances. ABLE SEAMAN (3) was a distant sixth last time out at Mount Isa over 1450m. Change of rider and back up in trip.
