AU - Townsville - Race 5

INNOVATES (9) looks well placed after a sound first-up third in a CL4 at Cairns, where he travelled into it and finished within 1.5L of the winner. Is sure to have come on with that run under his belt the low draw will give him a great look. BRAVE AGENDA (4) is the main danger after scoring here last week. Can keep the ball rolling fourth-up. ROCK THE SUNRISE (3) also arrives in winning form, having scored narrowly at Ewan after a BM60 win at this venue, and his 7f record keeps him right in the race despite a tougher assignment. DARTS DALY (10) was plain as favourite first-up at Cairns, but the rise to 7f and weight relief give him a path to improve if he begins cleanly. ELLIS BEACH (5) failed as favourite when resuming but gets weight relief and can cause a late scare if the pace is genuine.
