Cairns Young Guns Series Final On Assassin’s Watch
Saturday’s Young Guns Series Final in Cairns looks a race in two after last weeks heats.
With only three runners able to better the 33 second mark and a strong 32.60 win in last week’s heats, Assassin Watch (Whisky Assassin x Jolita) for Tully trainer Denis Godfrey, looks the winner. With a personal best of 32.42 and 3 wins from 6 starts at the track and distance, the fawn bitch should appreciate starting from the same box as last week and prove too classy.
Just Say So (Just The Best x Azz For Now) was the other impressive heat winner running 32.80 and beating Anna Ford by 9 3/4 lengths. With a personal best on the track of 32.60 she could be the testing material for Assassin Watch as she too will start again from the same box as last week.
The big improver looks to be the Pals Syndicate owned, Camara Belle (Hallucinate x Kathie’s Memory), who finished 4 3/4 lengths behind Assassin Watch and came off the unlikely preparation of 6 recent 380 metre races at Townsville. According to our records this was only her second run at further than 400 metres, but of course her dam, Kathie’s Memory, was a very handy chaser who racked up 5 wins at the 520 metre distance so Camara Belle should be further improved by last weeks run.
