AU - Townsville - Race 5

COLOURS OF AUTUMN (7) has a good affinity with rider Morrison who is yet to miss a drum in four rides and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Rarely puts in a poor one and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. BURRANEER BUOY (4) is a bit hit or miss but has won five from eight around this circuit and is more than capable enough on his day. Will take some holding out on best figures. The well-related ARMOUR FORCE (2) (half to G2 winner and G1 placed Bella Martini) has put back-to-back wins together and is racing high on confidence of late. Top-three candidate. SWEET KISSES (3) gets some weight relief with the 4lbs claim and looks a must for the exotics players. GOING NUCLEAR (5) next best.
