Springsure Race 5

Springsure Cup (Bm65)

Stake: $13,080

TANGO FAME (1) didn't do a bad job when second last start over 1300m at Longreach, beaten 0.9 lengths. That followed a win at Longreach the start prior. Likely improver with strong prospects. LIP SIP SUK (4) is an honest type who impressed last time, scoring by 2 lengths over 1640m at Roma. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best figures should see him run well. TAKE THE LEAD (2) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fifth over 1470m at Gympie. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. LEGISLATE (5) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fifth and beaten 8 lengths over 1640m at Roma. Top-three chance.
