Verdict

KICKATINALONG (3) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 6 lengths back in sixth over 6f at Mackay. Rates highly and expected to go well against this line-up. LITTLE PINKER (6) improved last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 6f at Rockhampton after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. PACIFIC PIRATE (7) bounced back last start and landed the prize by 2 lengths over 5 ?f at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is one of the key runners. RED HOT LIZZIE (4) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish second, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 5 ?f at Home Hill. One of the main contenders.
