Townsville Race 1

The Vanilly 60Th Classic Hcp

Stake: $23,100

RAFF VADER (3) debuts and hasn't been seen at the trials. Wiggins' booking suggests he's pleasing and this is winnable. The betting will be key but hard in early markets and the profile says that the race largely swings on him. NEV (5) was beaten just 2L at Mackay making sharp improvement. Surprised the market but can build on that. Makes him the most appealing betting option. MISS PIERATA (6) gets the first-time blinkers applied and showed enough at Cairns first-up to consider. EASY GOING GIRL (7) was okay on debut. Needs to step up but every chance at just start number two.

First-starter by Invader out of Raffinato. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Favoured by an inside barrier and a bold run looks on the cards.

Jumped at big odds at debut, ran last in a small field at Rockhampton 2yo Hcp on January 9 over 1050m, slow going 10 len behind Honourbefore Glory with 58.5kg at $41. Can't tip him on what we've seen to date.
