A great effort to win first-up! (albeit on protest) more to come no doubt!!

The topweight Captain Wheland - Townsville race 6 - has an impeccable record first-up. Won previous 4 starts (all this course) the last 3 by big margins!

EZY win Captain Wheland!! Multis CW as anchor paid pretty well, the tri just over 200 bucks, the first4 almost 700 bucks!

FLYING TEST Goldie R4! First-up record: 2-2-0-0

DERBY PARADE should race handy from a good draw in the big field. Goes extra well first-up and suited the good track and distance. A very nice ew chance!

The lightly raced Brave Action Doomben race 6 has a very nice first-up record and should start at ew odds!

ILITHYIA was unlucky first-up last prep then won at next start after being freshened. Expecting a bold first-up performance today.

(2) ICEDANE was very unlucky first start (over this course) should have won. Placed and won at 3 subsequent starts. Great chance first-up once more.

race 7 no. 3 windon should do well first-up today

The Gai Waterhouse trained 3YO gelding Tactical Response unbeaten at only 2 starts should be too strong for them first-up tomorrow. Gone well recent trials and has a 3kg apprentice claim just to make sure. Might not be much value so you might want bank off with Anniversary Prince, Carry The King and Catbird Kahn.
