Comments: Townsville 2-5 First Edition is in a pretty hot race that sees a number of in form horses that have found success since moving to far north Queensland. First Edition took a few runs to find his feet in the area but has won 4 of his last 5. Sparkling Ruler has won 5/6 since moving north and Perugin Thought has won 4/4. If Highonrum runs up to his last start effort behind Sea Zulu then he might upset them all, as Sea Zulu would beat all of these and Highonrum was only 1.5L behind him last time. It's such an open race that it also wouldn't surprise if Tippu Tip ran over the top of them. If we can get $7 for First Edition then that's OK otherwise I'll watch with interest. Talking of Sea Zulu, his will be another race worth watching, as it's a good field.
