Bowen Race 1

Bowen Turf Club Mdn Plate

Stake: $11,000

POLLY HOFFA (5) was below her best last time, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths over 1050m at Mackay after being prominent at the turn. Has the class to figure prominently. CHARGIN' (2) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish second, beaten 1.4 lengths, over 900m at Mareeba. Solid run last time and will take catching again. MYSTERIOUS BAY (4) faded last time to finish seventh over 1200m at Townsville after showing good early speed. One of the main contenders. PRIVATE CURWEN (1) is facing the starter for the first time. By De Gaulle and hails from the Tom Button stable. Comes here off a Townsville trial. Top-three chance.
