Verdict

FARAWAY DOWNS (2) was a dominant winner last time over 7f at Townsville, getting home by 2.75 lengths. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and two minor placings from four starts. Plenty of upside and rates among the leading chances. ELITE GATHERING (5) raced below her best last time when tenth over 7f at Townsville, beaten 6 lengths. Finds an easier assignment this time and can bounce back. The well-related AIRWAVES (4) (half to G2 winner Sejardan) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.1 lengths from the winner in third over 7f at Townsville. Nicely placed to maintain the form. FLOURISH (6) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 6 ¼f at Cairns, finishing fourth and beaten only 0.6 lengths. A must for the multiples.
