Innisfail Race 5

Consider It Done Magic Millions/Rob Koch Memorial/Fnq U&C Stayers (Bm65)

Stake: $11,880

PEROVIC (2) turned things around last start and scored by 1.2 lengths as public elect over 1900m at Cairns. Tackling a more suitable race so he is a major player again. MERRY OLD SOUL (3) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last time out over 1900m at Cairns, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a win at Mareeba at the previous outing. Finds a more suitable contest and can rediscover winning form. OLYMPIC KORCHNOI (1) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but disappointed last time when out of the placings at Home Hill over 1830m. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. MELANIN (4) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1900m at Cairns after being up on the pace until straightening. Suitably placed so anticipating a bold performance.
