SELECTIONS - 28 April 2005

The races at Geelong and Hawkesbury look particularly poor, which is similar to yesterday so we'll leave them alone. Can't see anything that stands out at all.

Port Macquarie 7-1 Canadian Twighlight stepped up to 1400m for the first time and it really suited him, as he scored a comfortable win. This race is no harder and he carries the same weight. His starting prices in 7 starts have been 7/1 once and never more than 7/2 in the other runs, which would indicate people think he has ability.

Townsville 1-1 Sea Zulu beat a POOMA selection pointlessly last time and looked extremely smart in the process. Has raced against 3,6,7,8 & 10 and has them covered. 5 & 9 look no threat, which leaves the two winners of their only start as threats (2, 4) however neither of them got within cooee of Sea Zulu's time.

Townsville 3-2 Vitegic had a torrid run last time out and tired late. Has the lethal Crossland/Chillemi combination running for him and looks really well placed here.

Townsville 4-1 Cavalier Approach has paid for his consistency with a big weight but he should still be too good for these. All four runs in his last campaign were in Class 1 company and he was unlucky not to win one. Should appreciate the drop to Maiden class and has drawn to advantage.

Townsville 5-3 Knockback is a consistent type and won in this grade nicely last time out. The longer trips really look to be his go and the step up to 1960m should suit. He's beaten home 1,2,5,8, & 10 at his last few runs and should continue that here.
