Townsville Race 4

In Memory Of John Strachin Easter Sprint Trophy H

Stake: $3,520

DANIEL SPARKLES (1) hit the frame two on end before being rewarded with a deserved win last time, scoring at Rockhampton over 407m (23.99). The form from his last run stacks up well. Can make it back-to-back wins. MENDOCINO (2) is worth forgiving for his last effort when fourth (22.00) at this track over 380m. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Likely to be thereabouts. MY MAGIC MAN (8) has been in the money at his last two runs, most recently when third (22.00) in a Grade 3/4 over 380m at this track. Speedy runner who can find the front with a clear break from out wide. Can find the frame this time. FARMOR ICONIC (3) is a last-start placegetter from this box - solid claims again.

Missed the frame latest (22.27) when sixth over 380m at this track in a Best 8. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and six minors. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Was out of the placings last time at Rockhampton but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching three minors in a row. Tough draw to overcome and appears tested on latest effort.
