Young crims hunt car keys

By Cait Bester

“The four vehicles stolen in Mackay, and we’re talking Mackay suburban area only, had all the keys stolen prior the vehicles being stolen,’’ Sgt Dalton told The Mackay Telegraph.

“So the vehicles weren’t hot-wired, there isn’t any mechanical tampering going on. It’s just a matter of grabbing the keys, which are often found in an unlocked house lying on the kitchen bench or near the front door, sticking them in the ignition and off they drive.

“It’s as simple as that.

“The stolen cars are being driven by young criminals, who most likely don’t obtain a drivers licence or have

“The stolen cars are being driven by young criminals, who most likely don’t obtain a drivers licence or have very little driving experience and it’s a huge danger to the community.”

homes and vehicles unlocked were victims of their own crime and needed to take “immediate responsibility’’.

“It’s not a matter of scoping out a place or they (criminals) are continually trying to break-in and don’t get anywhere, these kids know there’s properly a one in 10 chance that the front door is unlocked, handbag, wallets, keys and gadgets will be laying around the front of the house so they take those, the car is in the driveway, full tank of fuel and off they go,’’ Sgt Dalton said.

“It’s an opportunistic crime, it’s not planned and often the stolen cars have been found within a few kilometres of

the victim’s address.

“This crime could easily be stopped, it’s not hard for the public to get the message and lock-up but the issue is people just don’t care or they think it’s never going to happen to them.

“You don’t have to go out and buy expensive locks or security systems, you just have to lock up and ensure you keep your keys near you and know where they are at all times.’’

Anyone with information about a stolen vehicle or break-and-enter should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Non-urgent crimes can be reported to Policelink on 131 444.

POLICE fear an innocent bystander will be seriously injured or worse, killed, if a surging trend of car thefts and reckless driving by juvenile offenders continues.

It comes after four vehicles were stolen in Mackay within a week and one car was involved in a minor traffic crash.

Mackay Police Crime Prevention officer-in-charge Sergeant Nigel Dalton said the young criminals, aged 20 and under, are targeting unlocked properties, specifically searching for car keys and stealing vehicles.

very little driving experience and it’s a huge danger to the community, they’re inexperienced and they cannot control the car.

“To me this is out of control, we don’t want anybody to be killed or someone else’s life put in danger when these young drivers are out of control behind the wheel all because someone couldn’t lock up or left their keys out.’’

Despite police efforts to alert residents about the continual spate of “opportunistic’’ thefts, frustrated officers say the “lock it up or lose it’’ message is “just not getting through’’.

He said residents and motorists who left their

FOR the first time a cashedup buyer has the opportunity to unlock the front door to Mackay’s most spectacular piece of real estate.

It’s a mansion which boasts sweeping ocean views, 1100 sq m of luxurious living spread across two levels and state-of-the-art design and detail throughout.

This multi-million dollar lavish home is one of a kind find in one of the city’s most sought after suburbs and is being touted as Mackay’s “biggest and most beautiful’’ house.

Outside the luxurious house there is a full-size tennis court and six-bay lockup garage, including a boat storage bay – not to mention enough room to land a helicopter.

The Rural View dream home is the masterpiece of one of Mackay’s prominent businessmen, Craig Percival,

and with a heavy heart he is letting go of his mansion on the hill.

“This is definitely my dream home and dream location, for me everything about this position is great, the close proximity to shops, town, the beach and schools,’’ Mr Percival, director of Woollam Constructions, said.

“We’re on five acres that’s well maintained; the gardens look after themselves, with the automatic irrigation, and you have so many different areas of the house to enjoy.

You never get tired of being in one area.

“I got invited to stay here with the agent when we had the first round of inspections… I heard them about a dozen times go ‘wow’ which was a nice feeling.

“This is the third house I’ve built for myself and each time you change a few things but I think this one is pretty close to being perfect.’’

The Mackay Telegraph was given a personal guided tour by Mr Percival, which took more than an hour, and discovered the endless ins-and-outs of the extravagant property.

Ray White Real Estate sales agent Venny Schembri said there had been a “fair bit’’ of interest in the property.

“I’d say it’s probably the biggest and most beautiful home in Mackay,’’ she said.

Ms Schembri joked she had bought a lottery tickets in hope of winning first division so she could buy the house.

Ms Schembri said a price tag had not been attached to the property and potential buyers were open to make an offer.

Private viewings are available by appointment only tomorrow (Sunday) from 2pm to 4pm by calling Ms Schembri on 0400 740 048.

COUNCIL ELECTIONS 2012

Three grand visions but there can only be one Mackay mayor Mackay has three mayoral candidates to choose from and each has a grand vision about what direction the region would take under their leadership. So how do the visions of the candidates – Justin Englert, Deirdre Comerford and Karen May – compare two weeks out from the election? Mackay Telegraph editor Melissa Grant reports.

Justin Englert: IT seems everyone wants a piece of Mackay and the last thing Justin Englert wants to see is big corporate players taking advantage of the region’s wealth at the expense of the community.

The father of one and SES boss wants Mackay to expand at a proper rate and see the community brought along with it.

He envisions that Mackay will become a more equitable place, if he is elected mayor.

“Everyone wants a piece of Mackay,” he said.

“There are an increasing number of applications for bigger business and other organisations which are trying to take advantage (of the boom).

“We need to make sure we’re not overdoing it.”

However, Mr Englert said council had to go as hard as it could when it came to residential development.

He also said council needed to improve services and

Deirdre Comerford: infrastructure as well as offer rates relief.

“We need to put people back on a more level playing field,” he said.

Mr Englert said there also needed to be a level playing field when it came to business.

“We need to make sure the unique businesses here are given every opportunity to trade in a free market without being overtaken by big players interested in monopolising.”

A CITY with real community spirit and an increased sense of civic pride is what Deirdre Comerford would like Mackay to become. The mother of two said she wanted Mackay to be a place that the community could be really proud of. She said the region’s rapid growth had created many challenges but it was important council looked beyond short-term gain when making decisions to deal with it.

“You need a council brave enough to make decisions for the medium and long-term, to look beyond their own reelection,” Cr Comerford said.

“Many towns would envy our statistics of high growth and low unemployment.

“However there is a challenging side to growth – from keeping pace with roads, water and sewerage infrastructure, to ensuring rates are affordable, appropriate land use planning, affordable housing, attracting and retaining a stable workforce as well as building community spirit, civic pride and arising social issues.

“My vision for Mackay Regional Council is to have a strong, ethical, visionary Mayor; 10 skilled, community focused councillors from a variety of backgrounds and a visionary chief executive officer who can lead staff in partnership with councillors.”

Cr Comerford vowed to consult with community and business and to care about Mackay’s social, environmental, culture, heritage and economic values in when making decisions, if elected.

Karen May: A REGION that continues to grow and flourish economically, socially and environmentally so it’s a great place to live – that’s how Karen May wants Mackay to be.

The former Sarina shire mayor also wants Mackay to be family-friendly and a place where business and industry can prosper.

“My goal for the Mackay Regional Council area is to ensure our place is family friendly, where you and your family feel safe, you have access to quality services, facilities and the critical infrastructure needed for our community to continue to grow and prosper,” she said.

Cr May vowed to work with service providers to ensure families had access to quality educational opportunities. She also said she would work with business and industry to ensure the community had ongoing opportunities to prosper through employment,

investment and development opportunities.

Cr May said the growth of the Northern Beaches area, Ooralea and Mackay’s rural centres would be vitally important and provide much needed housing as MackayS forged ahead as a regional service centre.

“I would also like to see rural residential opportunities so that a diverse selection of lifestyles can be achieved.

“It is a must to manage development in a sustainable manner and make sure we look after our natural assets and our farming and grazing land.”

How you can help

Tears for little Cleo

A fund has been setup for the family of Cleo Rose. The Mackay Telegraph has donated $1000 from our community fund in conjunction with local newsagents.

Anyone wishing to make a donation to Cleo Rose’s memorial fund can contact Ali Pearson via email thepearsons4@bigpond. com

Sara Richmond and Tye Mackenzie are grieving the loss of young daughter Cleo Rose Mackenzie after a tragic accident in a driveway at Marian.

By Cait Bester

SPARKLING blue eyes big enough to get out of trouble and an infectious smile that would light up a room young Cleo Rose Mackenzie was a little ray sunshine to those who knew her.

Her tragic death has united a small Pioneer Valley community in grief and has touched the hearts of those who didn’t even know her.

The 15-month-old’s life was cut short last Thursday after she was run over by a car in a tragic accident on the driveway of a private residence at Kennys Road, Marian. Close family and friends who spoke

to The Mackay Telegraph shared fond memories of baby Cleo’s life, while parents Sara Richmond and Tye Mackenzie, who own North Coast Custom Paint Works, are still coming to terms with the loss of their little angel.

“First of all we would like to thank the neighbour, a gentleman we don’t know, who stopped and helped and also the Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) for the wonderful job they did, we don’t respect them enough until we need them...they were absolutely terrific,’’ Cleo’s nanna Cindy Bass told The Mackay Telegraph.

“Cleo was a character and definitely had a defined little personality...she was cheeky and had so much energy.

“She was our little ray of sunshine and came into this world bringing us a lot of happiness in a time we needed it the most. She spoke with her hands and her eyes.

She was always waving her hands around flat out.

“It was so hard to go crook at Cleo if she was doing something naughty because she would suck you in with those cute eyes. She certainly knew how to work her magic with those eyes.’’

Close family friend Ali Pearson has set up a fund

in memory of Cleo and to help finically support Sara and Tye. She has been overwhelmed by the community’s response.

“I’ve had so many touching emails, messages of love and support, and even from people who don’t know the family but want to offer their support or comfort in some way,’’ Ms Pearson said.

“It’s truly been overwhelming and Sara and Tye cannot thank everyone enough.

“They were terrific parents and they had a lot of love to give… the three of them had a lot of fun together.’’

Mackenzie said Tye and Sara were trying to remain strong but she pleaded with family and friends for continual support over the coming months.

“The support for the family right now is just amazing… but I ask people to remember it’s not just now.

Sara and Tye need their love and support but it’s six, 12 and even 18 months down the track that they’ll need it the most,’’ she said.

Inspector for the Mackay District, Peter Flanders, who attended the scene, said CPIU detectives were still investigating the incident and a report would be pre-

pared for the coroner.

“This incident appears to be nothing more than just a tragic, tragic accident,’’ Insp Flanders said.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.’’

Cleo will be farewelled by family and friends on Tuesday at 2pm at the Newhaven Funerals on Harbour Rd. The family has asked people attending the service to wear an item of pink clothing in memory of their pink bundle of joy. A donation form to the QAS will be available on the day instead of floral arrangements or teddy bears.

COUNCIL ELECTIONS 2012

REVEALED: Which candidates SAV E

OUR POOL

A joint campaign between The Mackay Telegraph and the Friends of the Memorial Pool swimming group has resulted in more than 5000 people signing a petition to put pressure on the new council to re-open the Memorial Pool on weekends and ensure the future of the facility. Here is what the candidates for the fast approaching Mackay council poll had to say when we asked: If elected, will you vote in favour of re-opening the Memorial Pool on weekends?

P

“ I believe the pool should be open. My problem was the way it was closed and the lack of consultation with the community. Let’s give it a real go”

P

“ If elected I would vote in favour of re-opening the Memorial Pool providing we can deliver this service within a balanced budget or we can source alternate revenue sources"

Dave Perkins

?

“ If you could make it pay. Unfortunately, the usage has dropped off considerably and we’re working with the group to get to a stage where enough people are using it.”

P

“ It is an existing community facility that should not be closed. I would want to talk to users and get better stats on patronage at all pools”

Ross Walker

?

“ I would definitely look at it again. We would need to see other areas we could make (cost) cuts in. I’m prepared to look at it in context of council budget.”

Janne Peterson

P

“ I have already signed the petition to keep it open”

Frank Gilbert

P

“ I’m a user of the Memorial Pool on weekends. I think it’s ridiculous to drive down demand and say it’s not viable to keep open”

Nathenea McRae

P

“ I have been collecting signatures for the petition”

Michelle Wollaston

O

“ I’ve spoken to people at council and it loses so much money every day. I’d hate to endanger the pool permanently from making it lose too much money”

Jeff Keoskie

P

“Yes because I’m a local and I learnt to swim in that pool.

I’ve also been collecting signatures”

Dennis Lyons

P

“ I do because I have an autistic son and I took him to the pool here in Sarina and he loved it. We need to get back to what the community wants. I’d be backing it all the way”

“ I would but the numbers need to be there.

Council has done a review of facilities and this stage it doesn’t warrant opening two pools for the amount of people using them.”

Ian Dean

“ Definitely – I’d vote to re-open it for sure. It has been too much of an inconvenience, particularly for the people who use it for health reasons”

“ I wish they could but I would want to get all the facts first and look at ways to make money on weekends”

Frederick Goodale

P

“ I certainly would. I think it should be open because families need all the facilities council can provide”

P

“Absolutely. First of all, that’s what the community wants. Second of all Mackay wants to promote sevenday trading and council needs to support that and the majority of the community still wants recreational facilities open on weekends”

Greg Martin

P

“Council said it was saving $60,000 in an overall budget of $400 million a year. Surely they can keep it open.”

Stephen Wallace

?

“ I’d certainly be happy to raise it with council and have it reviewed. The community has spoken loudly on this and it can’t be ignored. But it has to be put into the context of where cost savings can be made.”

Brett Leach

P

“Absolutely. It just seems ludicrous to have it closed on the weekends during the summer months while you have the Bluewater Lagoon operating down the road which must be costing a fortune.”

Mark Faulkner

“ I’d have to look at the details associated with it before I make a decision”

Ross Byrnes

P

“ It’s a community facility and it should be open and free”

Big worker shortage predicted for harvest

By Melissa Grant

A BUMPER crop and a booming resources sector has sparked a wide search for people to work in Mackay’s cane fields amid predictions of a major workforce shortage.

Canegrowers has predicted it could be up to 100 workers short for this year’s harvest which is likely to get underway in late May or early June.

The predicted shortage has prompted the organisation to look at recruiting more workers from New Zealand to boost numbers in cane fields across Queensland.

“New Zealand workers are ideal because they don’t need Visas to work here,”

Canegrowers chief operating officer Ron Mullins said.

“The hotspot (for employee shortages) is Mackay without a doubt, but it is a problem with other areas as well.

“There are more mines opening up so there will be more workers required for those mines. A lot of haul out workers are trained for the mining industry and we lose those each year.”

Canegrowers Mackay chairman Paul Schembri said the organisation had left no stone unturned in its search for workers.

“Our preference is absolutely to give employment to Australians, but in Mackay it’s hard to find workers so we’ve been forced to look

at every solution… grey nomads, backpackers,” Mr Schembri said.

“The worker issue has been around a number of years. It has been exacerbated by the rise, rise, rise and rise of the resources sector.

“It’s hard to say how many workers we will be short. It could be 50 to 100 workers short.”

Mr Schembri said an improved crop would also increase the need for workers.

“Obviously we are going to see better levels of production than 2010 and 2011,” he said.

“The harvest, and I’m talking Plane Creek and Mackay Sugar, will be up about one million tonnes of cane.”

Last year’s harvest at Plane Creek totalled 1.1 million, while Mackay Sugar had a crop of 4.2million tonnes.

what this week’s clinic at Mackay achieved.

The clinics delivered professional, yet fun, coaching to different age groups over three days. The sessions incorporated fun soccer activities with techniques to acquire mastery of the ball.

The Miners clinics will be running again next year.

Your VOICE Editor: Melissa Grant

COMMENT

Think before you cast your vote IN just two weeks Mackay people, collectively, will make their most important decision of 2012.

They will cast their votes to decide which 10 councillors, led by a new mayor, will sit at the Mackay Regional Council table for the next four years.

At a time when growth pressures have never been greater, Mackay needs strong and robust representation at grassroots level.

We need a mayor and councillors who will fight tooth and nail for this region’s fair share of funding and work handin-hand with the federal and state governments to get the best possible outcomes for the community.

We need a visionary leader. That’s why the Telegraph asked each of the mayoral candidates about their vision for Mackay (story page 4).

We also need a leader who will listen to the needs and wants of the community. That’s why we asked each candidate whether they would vote in favour of re-opening the Memorial Pool on weekends, if elected (story page 6-7).

It’s up to each reader to decide which leader offers the best vision and representation for Mackay.

Remember, once the 11 candidates are voted in you can complain about them to your heart’s content but you can’t vote them out for four years.

Letters to the Editor Ballot paper redraw unfair First of all thank you for publishing my letter regarding my number 2 position on the ballot paper. I wish to inform all who read the letter that my position (Janne Peterson) has since changed to number 16 due to the redraw of the ballot.

Although I have not always agreed with the decisions of our outgoing mayor Col Meng, I was very impressed when I heard Cr Meng’s public rebuke of the Electoral Commission’s (ECQ) reprehensible handling of the Mackay Regional Council nominations and ballot draw, saying he “couldn’t believe the incompetency.”

He also rebuked the ECQ for belligerently leaving council candidates standing on

the footpath outside the electoral office for hours due to the first ballot being drawn over three hours late. He has shown great respect for the candidates and I wish to publicly thank him for that. At the time, I also suggested several solutions to the returning officer about how to improve the situation but she appeared powerless, apparently due to strict instructions “from Brisbane”. From that perspective she was not to blame.

Unknown to us at the time this was just the beginning of chaos the worst was yet to come, that is the bungle resulting in a redraw of the ballot positions.

Understandably the candidates who were moved from the bottom to the top of the list are very pleased with the situation.

However good leadership is not about what “benefits me” nor is it about what is”disadvantageous to me”, but it’s about what is right and fair.

For the ECQ to call a redraw “fair” is reprehensible. The fairest and most cost and time effective solution was for the ECQ to remove the candidate whom they foolishly included in the ballot, who was 31 out of 34 and move the other three candidates up a notch. The redraw one week later was extremely unfair to all the candidates who had already published their ballot positions. Financial compensation is just a waste of taxpayers’ money and comes way short of the time wasting exercise that their incompetence has caused.

As Mr Meng stated, if the council ballot was

a local responsibility, like he believes the new LNP government will implement, the stress of handling State and Council elections simultaneously would not have occurred.

I spoke to the ECQ on the phone and wrote to them but have had no answers to my questions about what rules they were bound by and no apology. It would be good if the new Minister for local government or our new local MP Jason Costigan could follow this up.

Laneway bands going viral

By Melissa Grant

Jack Henry Jensen belts out a tune in the Unearthed Cube.

PERFORMANCES from some of Mackay’s best bands – filmed inside a compact cube during the Mackay Telegraph Easter Laneway Festival – are going viral.

The sets of 15 bands, filmed at the festival, as well as exclusive interviews with band members have started to appear on our Facebook page.

Artists include Courtney Young, Jack Henry Jensen, Luke Thompson, Tale of Temple, Prometheus and Modern Day Mayhem.

All sets filmed at the Unearthed Cube should be uploaded within the week.

The Unearthed Cube was a hit at The Mackay Telegraph Easter Laneway Festival, an event which attracted some 6000 people to the Mackay City Centre.

Festival and events producer for Mackay Regional Council, David Gerrand, said the inaugural event was well received.

“The feedback has been very positive,” he said.

“I think the social media for this festival has been the biggest it ever has been in Mackay.

“The bands had their followers. Maguires (CBD Hotel) and the Ambassador were impressed with the numbers that flowed through to see the bands at those locations.

“Also, the performances in the cube (9th Lane) were just sensational. We can’t wait to see the final videos of all of them.”

Mr Gerrand said the Mad Hatters Party and Easter activities at the Old Town Hall Park were also extremely popular. “The children’s stuff went off like a frog in a sock,” he said.

“The performances

by Sensory Circus (Mad Hatters Party) went down a treat.

“We also had a good turnout for the movies.”

The aim of the event was to re-energise the city’s tired laneways. Mr Gerrand said the event

would be back again nextt year.

Mackay Telegraphh photographer Amandaa Balmer captured all of thee action at the festival onn Sunday. More of her pho-tos from the event are fea-tured on pages 42 and 52.

COUNCIL ELECTIONS 2012

Unique mix fight to be mayor The council race in the Whitsundays is anything but boring as an interesting mix of people - including a TV star - fight to be mayor.

By Melissa Grant

Challenger and famous actor Grigor Taylor

Challenger and Cannonvale resident Tony Maine

A FAMOUS actor, a highprofile mayor, a councillor with her own business and a bloke who moved to Cannonvale for a sea change are battling to be Whitsunday’s mayor.

The unique mix of candidates is in the final stages of campaigning with the vast majority of residents in the Whitsundays having received their ballot papers this week.

Grigor Taylor may best be remembered for his role as Senior Detective Alan Curtis in Matlock Police but he is hoping he will secure the starring role on the Whitsunday Regional Council.

Mr Taylor, who has lived in Bowen for 22 years, said

many people recognised him from his days on television which also included roles in A Country Practice and The Flying Doctors.

He hopes that he is given the Whitsunday Regional Council’s top job to deliver a fairer deal for residents.

“Our rates have been increasing miles past the CPI,” he said.

“We need to cut our budget to suit the income.”

Mr Taylor is running alongside councillor candidates Marg Tawse and Terry Pilcher and the team has a nine-point plan for the region.

Like Mr Taylor, mayoral candidate Tony Maine also moved to the Whitsundays for a sea change.

Mr Maine said he moved

to the region two years ago imagining he would arrive in the boom but instead encountered gloom.

The Cannonvale resident said the community felt that it was time for change and there needed to be real plans to restore growth. The resources sector, tourism and agribusiness were the key industries when it came to restoring growth, he said.

Whitsunday councillor and Proserpine business owner Jenny Whitney is also running for the top job said she would deliver a fairer deal for the community.

She promised one plan, one set of rates, and one set of fees and charges for the entire region.

“We’ve got a situation where the towns are against

one another,” she said. “It needs to be more fair right across the region.”

Incumbent Mike Brunker said council had delivered a large infrastructure program over the past four years and he was keen to build on that by delivering an entertainment precinct, including a convention centre and movie theatre, if re-elected.

Cr Brunker said he disagreed that most people in the Whitsundays were seeking change.

He said some had suggested they wanted to stick with him as the other candidates lacked experience.

Cr Brunker has 18 years’ local government experience, including stints as Bowen Shire Mayor and Collinsville councillor.

Mackay singer tops Triple J charts

By Cait Bester

FROM entertaining a rowdy pub crowd to a Melbourne studio, Mackay’s own folk and roots artist Candice Arlott has shot to the top of Triple J’s Unearthed charts.

Within two weeks of up loading her original song, Cement Dreams, Arlott, 23, was ranked number two on the Triple J Unearthed pop chart and is sitting at number 11 on the overall chart for the week.

Triple J has described Arlott’s style as boasting ‘raw vocals and lyrics intertwined with a catch electronic as the base’ and the Mackay girl, known as Miss Bliss is a musician to keep your ears and dancing shoes ready for.

“I call it a small milestone but my mum thinks it’s an ARIA,’’ Ms Arlott, 23, told The Mackay Telegraph.

“The song, Cement Dreams, is about the first

time I went to Melbourne to meet my producer.

“I got off the plane, it was six degrees and it was just an amazing experience, so that’s where that song came from. So I uploaded it and it started off at number 22 on the pop charts and it wasn’t on the overall one at all.

“I thought that was pretty cool and when I actually got the message to say I had moved up on the charts I was so tired… and I got this text message from my producer and all I could see through a one opened eye was ‘you’re number two’.

“So I woke up straight away... it’s very exciting and I don’t think it’s really sunk in yet.’’

Ms Arlott played Cement Dreams live to a Mackay audience for the first time at the Mackay Telegraph Easter Laneway Festival.

“The crowd feedback was awesome... when I played again later in the day people

Flash News Miners await fate NORWICH Park mine workers and families are awaiting their fate after meeting with BHP Billiton officials to discuss future employment over the past two days.

BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) will cease production of its Norwich Park mine, southeast of Dysart, resulting in the loss of more than 1300 jobs.

In a statement BMA said the Norwich Park mine had been losing money for several months because of lower coal prices, higher costs and weaker output due to flooding.

Isaac Regional Council Mayor Cedric Marshall said the mine employed 490 people fulltime. Of those about 400 lived in the town which has a population of about 3500.

It was reported BHP officials were meeting with workers on Thursday and Friday and were aiming to redeploy Norwich Park employees to BMA’s Saraji mine, southeast of Moranbah, to enable them to remain residents of Dysart.

FOR YOUR VOTE TO BE VALID - YOU SHOULD MARK 10 BOXES Whether you use a tick, cross or some other mark is not important, but for accuracy, it is recommended that you number from 1 to 10 to make sure ten boxes are selected.

Only 5 of the 10 current Councillors have sought reelection in that role, but it is essential that continuity and stability is maintained for the region. This can only be achieved by voting for the remaining five current Councillors. Their valuable insight and sound knowledge of Local Government can only be gained through experience.

Together, these Councillors offer more than 42 years combined experience in Local Government.

Each one of these Councillors is fiercely independent and there have been many occasions in the last four years

where they have taken opposite positions on a range of matters to come before Council.

However, the fact that they have come together for this election campaign shows the importance they place on having a stable base moving into the next four years for our region.

As stated previously, they will work productively with newly elected T Councillors to ensure the Mackay OV G Regional community is the L CA real winner.

Charities to get carbon tax help

CANBERRA: Federal Finance Minister Penny Wong has assured charities government assistance will be available to help them deal with the impact of a carbon tax. The Salvation Army says it is bracing for an avalanche of useless household goods, dumped by people unwilling to pay higher rubbish tip fees as a result of the carbon tax.

Asylum seekers ditch NZ boat bid CANBERRA: Ten Chinese asylum seekers have been detained by Australian authorities after abandoning plans to attempt a perilous boat journey to New Zealand.

The men, women and two children are believed to have left Malaysia on a yacht bound for NZ last month. They were picked up in Australian waters after issuing a distress call at the weekend.

Boy, 14, pleads guilty to peanut death plot BRISBANE: A 12-year-old boy put peanuts in his stepmother’s tube of toothpaste after learning she was highly allergic to them, a court has been told. The boy, who is now 14 and usually lives in NSW with his biological mother, pleaded guilty on Wednesday.

SYDNEY: Differences were put aside as Australian political heavyweights gathered in Sydney to pay tribute to Lionel Bowen, a “unique and remarkable” former deputy leader of the Labor Party.

Hundreds of mourners filled St Mary’s Cathedral in Sydney on Wednesday for a state funeral led by Archbishop George Pell, 10 days after Mr Bowen’s death at 89.

Former Labor prime minister Kevin Rudd took a pew behind his Liberal predecessor John Howard, while Immigration Minister Chris Bowen sat next to state Liberal MP Pru Goward. Mr Howard’s predecessor as prime minister, Paul Keating, was nearby.

Long-serving former prime minister Bob Hawke described his deputy as a man who commanded respect across ALP factions and political parties.

“From his own intrinsic talents and characteristics emerged this remarkable man who now together we remember and we honour,” he said in the eulogy.

“I believe fewer words are ill-used in the English than the word ‘unique’.

SO LONG: Former prime ministers Kevin Rudd, right, and John Howard, centre, attend a state funeral service for former deputy prime minister Lionel Bowen, inset.

But I have no hesitation in applying the word ‘unique’ to Lionel Bowen.”

Mr Hawke said Mr Bowen was defined by his country, his family and his

faith, and his wife Claire was “his constant immovable pillar of support”.

“To you, Claire, and to the family, we thank you and we offer our sincere

condolences and we thank you for sharing this warm, wise, decent, generous, humble … this unique man with us.”

A service was held in Miss Stuttle’s memory at York Minster on Wednesday.

Marjorie Marks-Stuttle, the teenager’s mother who runs a charity in her daughter’s name dedicated to raising awareness of safe travel for young people, described her daughter as “very special”.

“Naturally, we miss her every day and miss all the things she would be doing,” Marks-Stuttle added.

But the weather cooled over the next 10 days and the 51-year-old mum became the first woman to complete the 660km trek.

Starting in the Northern Territory, Ms Trumper ran across the Simpson Desert on remote tracks to complete her journey.

She said there were only a few moments when the run seemed ill-advised. “The first day, the car reading said the outside temperature was 45C and I was totally spent,� Ms Trumper said. “But the second day it was only 43C and it got cooler after that.�

Ms Trumper completed the run to support the Bear Cottage, a palliative care facility linked to Sydney’s Westmead Children’s Hospital. “I thought how much tougher it would be to have a dying kid, emotional stuff like that really got me through,� she said. “I’m lucky to have three happy and healthy kids. “I’d do this every day of my life if I had to.

Cruise ships embark on Titanic journey

NEW YORK: Two cruise ships on opposite sides of the Atlantic have embarked on journeys to visit the spot where the Titanic sank, but the one that departed after a short stop on the Irish coast returned briefly after a passenger became ill.

With the sick passenger needing to be airlifted for medical care, the European memorial cruise on Tuesday interrupted

its trip retracing the path of the Titanic’s doomed maiden voyage 100 years ago.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean, the cruise ship Journey departed from a New York pier on Tuesday night.

Both memorial cruise ships were packed with history aficionados, many dressed in period costume, including a boy in a fake white beard on the

New York ship who was dressed up as the captain of the tragic ocean liner.

In April 1912, the Titanic left Southampton, England, bound for New York. The vessel struck an iceberg and sank into the watery dark. More than 1500 passengers and crew members died.

The cruise ship Journey, carrying 440 passengers, will stop in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where more than

100 Titanic victims are buried. It will then continue on to conduct a memorial service at the spot in the Atlantic where the Titanic sank. Along the way, passengers will listen to lectures about life on board the ship and dine at a costume-themed dinner. “It’s just such a human tragedy that just resonates through the years,� passenger Carol Owens Campbell, 61, said. – AP

HOBOKEN: There is no snooze button. If you unplug it, a battery takes over. As wake-up time approaches, you cannot reset the alarm time.

It could be the world’s most exasperating alarm clock. To stop it you must get out of bed and punch the day’s date into a keypad – that’s the only way to stop the loud ‘ding-ding’ designed to sound like a customer angrily banging a concierge bell at a hotel.

It was invented by Paul Sammut, a 25-year-old engineer who lives in the US state of New Jersey. “I wanted to make something that would essentially force me to get out of bed when I wanted to get out of bed the night before,�

Sammut said.

After a friend suggested he try to sell the device, Sammut posted a video on kickstarter.com, a website where the public can invest financially in creative ideas. “We raised more than $US150,000 ($A146,000) over a month-and-a-half and we currently have over 400 orders,� Sammut said.

He acknowledges there is one way to stop the alarm without getting out of bed. “You could smash it,�

Sammut said. But with a $350 price tag, that would be a really expensive way to sleep in. – AP

Cover Story Cold Chisel movie gig a real feat

WEEKEND EDITION

I

F you are an Aussie, you know Cold Chisel.

From the mid-70s to late 80s, the band pumped out pub rock hit after pub rock hit. Songs like ‘Flame Trees’, ‘Saturday Night’ and ‘Khe Sanh’ cemented the band as Australian Rock ‘n’ Roll royalty.

After fights, breaks-ups and a hiatus that lasted more than a decade, the boys have a new album ‘No Plans’ and are making history by broadcasting a live concert to cinemas around the country in real time.

The concert event will screen from 9pm on 18 April, via satellite from the Hordern Pavilion, direct to movie theatres, including Birch Carroll and Coyle Cinema at Mt Pleasant.

Mackay Telegraph reporter Tom Williams caught up with Chisel Bass player Phil Small this week and discussed the concert, the new album and the strange encounter Ian Moss had with a cat.

So how is everything going? Chisel have just played a couple of shows right?

Things are going great – we have just done two shows to promote the new album ‘No Plans’. We played at Byron Bay Blues festival last Friday and on Saturday we were over at Swan Valley in Perth that was for about 11,000.

Does it feel like the ‘old’ Cold Chisel, flying around the country for gigs?

Yes (Laughs) Ian Moss suffered an injury this week?

Ian has ended up in hospital. I don’t know what he was doing to the cat (laughs); obviously he got into a little scruff with it somehow. They were just a bit worried about infection – apparently his hand swelled up pretty bad.

The concert at the Hordern Pavilion on 18 April will be broadcast throughout cinemas around Australia. Is this the first time the band has done anything like this?

It’s a bit of a feat for us definitely; it is the first time I have heard of anything like this. Not only is it going to the major centres, but the regional areas as well. And with the cost of the ticket, people can get a copy of the new album too. Not a bad deal.I’m not sure to what to expect though really, it is a new experience for me.

How was it getting back into the studio with the band to make ‘No Plans’?

It took a while to adjust with Charlie Drayton; he came in the early part of 2010. It took a while to come to grips with the fact that we weren’t playing with Steve (Prestwich) anymore. There were a few months there, after Steve’s passing where we were a bit shell shocked and didn’t know what to do but we had a meeting and decided to finish the project.

We all came to the conclusion that Steve would have wanted us to finish the album.

It turned out that three of the tracks he played on made it onto the record which is a real bonus. None of us realised that until we got the master back. He actually put down a guide vocal and soon as we heard it we were just like ‘this is amazing’.

I think we are kind of looking at stuff more objectively now. I just think we appreciate each other’s company when playing a lot more.

That has come with time and also the huge periods of time where the band has not been together. I suppose absence makes the heart grow stronger.

So being apart drew the band back together?

10 years is a long time to be living in each other pockets and we needed to get away from each other, but over time we come to the realisation that we do miss the good old times and when we do get together we do have fun and really appreciate it.

Cold Chisel has played at countless venues over the years, would you prefer to play a smaller gig or a 20,000 seat stadium?

It all depends.Essentially we do like playing small gigs it is more intimate, you can feel the vibe more, but then again that can happen in a large show. It just all depends on the circumstances on the actual night.

TICKETS to this live event are $42 and are on sale now at eventcinemas.com.au

Racing TAB CODE

SR

Randwick races TODAY

Race two GALAH (Peter Snowden) 3c By Redoute’s Choice - Rinky Dink (9:4-1-1): Well held when resuming on a wet track in the Hobartville Stakes then got a long way back and picked up ground late 2-1/2 len 9th (56.5) Mosheen 1600m R’wick Randwick Gneas slow trk Mar 17. Lobbed along out the back again and was never in the hunt 7-1/2 len 14th (56.5) Laser Hawk 2000m R’hill Rosehill Gneas Mar 31. Fair to say he has been disappointing this time in but he comes right down in class now. Expect improvement.

NOW YOU KNOW (D T O’Brien) 3c By Elusive City - Triassic (10:3-2-0): Took up a forward position but couldn’t go on late 6-1/4 len 4th (59.0) Kukri 1800m Sandown-Hillside 3yo (72) slow trk Mar 7. Took a trail behind the speed and chased hard from the 400m to score len win (59.0) Chieftain Jack, Fast And Free 1600m M Valley 3yo (72) Mar 23.

Half-brother to So You Think. Toughed it out well with the big weight at Moonee Valley last start. Up in grade now but looks a player from the good draw.

FAT AL (Ms G Waterhouse) 3g By Al Maher - Fatoon (5:3-1-0): Sent to the paddock after leading them up and exploding away to record 5-1/4 len win (58.0) Duty Bound, Falklands 1900m C’bury 3yo (Bm65) Nov 30. Balanced up midfield and knuckled down well over the final furlong to post strong 1-1/2 len win (59.5) Falklands, Devonshire Duke 1400m Albury 3yo (Bm70) dead trk Mar 23. Local who is going through his grades impressively.

Looks likely to measure up in this company.

BRAMBLES (P G Moody) 3g By Savabeel - Prickle (5:2-2-1): Sent to the paddock after going down as a hot favourite in 1-1/4 len 2nd (59.0) Sabres 1600m M Valley 3yo (78) Dec 2. Got back and made up good ground in a leader dominated race lg nk 2nd (58.0) The Great Snowman 1400m Hawkesbury (Metro) 3yo C&G (Bm70) slow trk Mar 22. Very good when resuming in an on pace dominated event at Hawkesbury three weeks ago. Much fitter now and he will appreciate the more spacious Randwick circuit. Keep in mind.

IMPERIAL GRAND (A J Cummings) 3g

By Hotel Grand - Thunderclap (10:2-1-2): Strode along one off the fence midfield and overpowered rivals in the run home 1/2 len win (58.5) Flash Albert, Pendulums 1500m Hawkesbury Mdn Plate dead trk Mar 29. Backs-up after coming from worse than midfield to score impressive 2-1/4 len win (56.0) Ad Victoriam, Cruella De Vil 1550m Randwick-Kensington 3yo Rst0 April 9. On the quick back-up after scoring a dominant win on the Kensington track last Monday. Hard to fault recent form but takes on much tougher opposition here. Place.

DANZIG KING (R H Thomsen) 3g By King Cugat - Danzig Star (13:1-2-2): Broke his maiden narrowly at Wyong then worked home well from midfield behind smart 3yo 4-1/2 len 2nd (57.0) Strawberry Boy 1500m Hawkesbury C1 dead trk Mar 29.

Took up a handy position and battled away steadily in the run to the line 3-3/4 len 4th (56.0) Imperial Grand 1550m RandwickKensington 3yo Rst0 April 9. Safely held in a much easier event on Monday. Hard to see him improving enough to win this.

OUTLAW PRINCE (A J Cummings) 3c By Outback Prince - Anchora (6:1-1-1): Sat behind the speed and let down strongly once clear at the 200m but just missed nose 2nd (57.0) All In Latin 1600m Wyong C1 Mar 15. Sent to town and kept finding the line from worse than midfield 1-1/4 len, sht nk 3rd (53.0) Iggi Pop, Lucripetous 1800m RandwickKensington 3yo (Bm70) April 1. One at odds.

SHOWPONY EXPRESS (J A O’Shea) 3g By Anabaa - Southern Venture (5:10-2): Returned with a close-up third at Canterbury then disappointed when weakening off the speed 3-3/4 len 7th (56.0) Tavarnelle 1550m C’bury 3yo (Bm70) Mar 16. Eased out the back from the wide gate and did his best work late 3-1/2 len 4th (55.5) Landing 1400m W Farm 3yo (Bm70) April 4. Should be nearing his peak now.

DEVONSHIRE DUKE (M D Moroney) 3g By Keeper - Bexley (4:1-0-1): Got a long way back and was never likely when resuming in the wet 13 len 9th (59.5) Supreme Warrior 1225m Geelong (62) heavy trk Mar 3. Sent around at big odds but was given time to balance up and closed in strongly 1-1/2 len, 1/2 len 3rd (54.0) Fat Al, Falklands 1400m Albury 3yo (Bm70) dead trk Mar 23. Worked home well behind Fat Al at Albury last start but meets that galloper 5.5kg worse here. Outsider.

FORTUNEFIVEHUNDRED (A J Cummings) 3g By Fastnet Rock - Money Begets Money (6:0-0-1): Sat wide on the speed and fought on gamely under the circumstances 1-1/2 len, 2 len 3rd (56.5) Bikini Star, Whatawoman 1400m Newcastle Mdn Hcp Mar 24. Drifted from $2.50 to $5.50 and was never a factor 4-1/4 len 8th (56.5) Amattum Zac 1600m Wyong Mdn Hcp April 5.

Struggled in a Wyong maiden last start.

Entitled to go around at big odds here.

TAVARNELLE (M, W & J Hawkes) 3f By Zabeel - Wanaka (5:1-1-0): Settled in a good spot midfield and ran on strongly in the straight to score narrow lg nk win (54.0) Compass, Le Nizam 1550m C’bury 3yo (Bm70) Mar 16 then got a long way back and was never in the hunt 12-1/2 len last (54.0) Valhussle 1550m C’bury (Bm75) dead trk Mar 28. Scratched.

Race three

SECRET LIAISON (M Ellerton & S Zahra) 3f By Artie Schiller - Secret Desire (12:22-0): Settled in the second half of the field and passed a couple in the run home 5-3/4 len 6th (56.5) Sweet Ella 1600m C’field 3yoF Hcp Mar 24. Given time to balance up again and unwound a strong finish len 2nd (59.0) Red Typhoon 1700m C’field 3yo Hcp April 7. Victorian who was very good at Caulfield last start.

FULL OF SPIRIT (R A James) 3f By Flying Spur - Imposingly (8:2-1-1): Went down fighting for close-up sht hd 2nd (55.5) Abeautifulred 1600m Ellerslie 3yo Stakes slow trk Mar 3. Sent out as favourite and got the job done easily 3 len win (56.5) Temple View, McDaids 1600m Awapuni (Bm65) Mar 31. Should place a major role.

TAVARNELLE (M, W & J Hawkes) 3f By Zabeel - Wanaka (5:1-1-0): Settled in a good spot midfield and ran on strongly in the straight to score narrow lg nk win (54.0) Compass, Le Nizam 1550m C’bury 3yo (Bm70) Mar 16 then got a long way back and was never in the hunt 12-1/2 len last (54.0) Valhussle 1550m C’bury (Bm75) dead trk Mar 28. Vet found no abnormalities after her last start failure.

Prior win at Canterbury was solid. In good hands and she is clearly above average.

Watch betting moves.

Race six

MORE STRAWBERRIES (Ms G Waterhouse) 4m By More Than Ready - Milva (15:3-3-2): Returned with a win in the Tibbie Stakes at Newcastle then raced wide just off the speed and knocked up in the straight 7-1/2 len 12th (52.5) Secret Admirer 1600m R’wick Epsom Hcp dead trk Oct 1. Put away after disappointing as favourite in 4-3/4 len 6th (56.0) Ocean Challenger 1600m M Valley Tesio Stakes dead trk Oct 22.

Given a solid hit out 4th Descarado 1250m Randwick-Kensington barrier trial slow trk Feb 13. First-up. Quality mare who normally comes to hand quickly. Drawn the fence and leading hoop engaged. Should be around the mark.

ATLANTIC JEWEL (M A Kavanagh) 3f

Given time to balance up and was never in the hunt when resuming 7 len 7th (56.5) Foxwedge 1200m M Valley William Reid Mar 23.

Expect improvement.

Morphettville main race comment

Race six

CATAPULTED (M A Kavanagh) 6g By Catbird Siren Miss (28:11-6-0): Scored 3 len win (59.0) Cascabel, Rocking Force 1200m F’ton Standish Hcp Jan 2 then was slowly away and ran wide during the race when 9-1/4 len 12th (60.0) Spirit Of Boom 1400m Gold Coast (Metro) Magic Mil. Cup Jan 14. Classy sprinter with super first-up record (7:4-3-0) and rates highly here.

FIRST COMMAND (Anthony Freedman) 6g By Commands - River Serenade (26:10-5-2): After 3/4 len 2nd (57.0) Eagle Falls 1100m C’field Rubiton Stakes dead trk Feb 11 raced erratically and was disappointed for a run before finishing 1/2 len 4th (54.5) Woorim 1100m C’field Oakleigh Plate Feb 25. Rarely runs a bad race and comes off a top run at G1 level into this.

Drawn ideally and looks a major player.

CONSERVATORIUM (G D Kennewell) 4g By Royal Academy - Belong To Madam (13:60-0): Made it two in a row with 1/2 len win (58.5) Catapulted, Far Horizons 1200m M’ville Durbridge Stks Oct 15 then was vetted after 8-3/4 len 14th (57.5) Facile Tigre 1200m F’ton Mss Security Nov 1. Scored 3/4 len win Bella Leah, Vintage Punch 1000m Morphettville Parks barrier trial Mar 26. Smart sprinter resuming here and a repeat of his win two starts back puts him right in it.

PERIDUKI (M J Whittle) 7g By Perugino - Miduki (55:19-6-3): Was spelled after 10-1/4 len 14th (57.5) Catapulted 1200m F’ton Standish Hcp Jan 2 then led until the shadows of the post when resuming for 1/2 hd 2nd (59.5) Basil Da Man 1100m Oakbank Oakbank Stakes dead trk April 7. Game sprinter who will give his all again.

Will take running down.

STREETCAR MAGIC (D R Jolly) 5g By Blevic - Stellar Fille (13:7-1-0): Super effort from the outside barrier (of 18) when 2-1/2 len 5th (55.5) Lone Rock 1200m M’ville The Goodwood May 8 then was spelled after 3-3/4 len 7th (57.5) Just Sybil 1100m M’ville W H Wylie Hcp dead trk Sept 10. Scored 3/4 len win Massiah, Carrara 900m Murray Bridge barrier trial dead trk Mar 5. Has been competitive at G1 level and looked forward in his recent trial win. One of many chances.

WE’RE GONNA ROCK (M A Kavanagh) 5g By Fastnet Rock - Harrow (11:3-1-0): Was disappointed for a run when 6-3/4 len 8th (59.0) Joyous 1400m C’field Futurity Stakes Feb 26 (2011) then came off a long break to score 5-3/4 len win (60.0) Globalwarmnsceptic, Believe In More 1000m Morphettville Parks (68+) Mar 10. Genuine topliner at his best and blitzed rivals when resuming. Tougher here but rates highly again.

GLANEUSE (M A O’Leary) 6g By Blevic Qu’appelle (29:10-5-1): Beat nine home when 2-1/4 len 6th (57.0) Magical Pearl 1600m Balaklava Cup Aug 31 then was blocked for a run before finishing 10-1/4 len 9th (55.5) Zauberin 1800m M’ville Tokyo City Cup Sept 24. Scored 1-1/4 len win Fradema, Regal Monty 900m Naracoorte barrier trial April 1. Generally goes well fresh but plenty of depth here and not well served under the scale. Looking to others.

FAB FEVOLA (D Binaisse) 5g By Falvelon Furla (17:5-3-1): Jumped awkwardly before finishing 2-3/4 len 4th (55.0) Kulgrinda 955m M Valley Open Hcp Feb 24 then weakened after leading when 3 len 5th (56.0) General Truce 955m M Valley Open Hcp Mar 23. Handy sprinter but faces his toughest task to date here. Others look better.

POWER PRINCESS (Simon Miller) 5m By Marwina - All Electric (20:9-3-2): Jumped awkwardly and was tightened for room when lg hd 2nd (59.0) Werd 1100m Ascot W.A.T.C. Stks Mar 17 before scoring len win (59.0) Mabel Grace, Latoria 1200m Ascot Miss Andretti Mar 31. Classy WA mare with genuine claims here.

In the mix.

VALENTINE MISS (M A Kavanagh) 6m By Danetime - Torolosa (32:6-10-3): Struck interference near the 400m then was vetted after 6-1/4 len 6th (56.0) Ortensia 1100m F’ton G.H. Mumm dead trk Nov 3 then was slowly away and tightened for room before running sht hd, 2-3/4 len 3rd (57.5) Amaethon, Stratcombe 1200m C’field Open Hcp Mar 24. Top run firstup but ran into usual trouble in the run. Capable of winning but hardly a betting proposition with her racing style.

HAPPY ANGEL (M A Kavanagh) 5m By Happy Giggle - Angel’s Wing (30:6-5-8): Jumped awkwardly then was vetted after 4-3/4 len 8th (54.0) Panipique 1000m F’ton Bob Hoysted slow trk Mar 3 then finished 1-1/4 len, nk 3rd (57.0) Kulgrinda, Hadronica 955m M Valley F&M Hcp slow trk Mar 16. Handy sprinting mare but aiming a bit high here. Looking elsewhere.

Race seven BLISS STREET (D L Morton) 3f By Flying Spur - Jade Diva (16:4-2-4): Was disappointed for a run when 1-1/4 len, 3/4 len 3rd (55.5) Empress Rock, Assertive Eagle 1400m F’ton Kewney Stakes Mar 10 then finished 6 len 10th (52.0) Ofcourseican 1500m R’hill Coolmore Classic dead trk Mar 24. Classy filly who will appreciate dropping back a level here. Hasn’t won past 1400 metres but should get a nice run from the draw and rates highly.

EMPRESS ROCK (J B Cummings) 3f By Fastnet Rock - Empress Jade (6:3-1-1): Followed 1-1/4 len win (55.5) Assertive Eagle, Bliss Street 1400m F’ton Kewney Stakes Mar 10 with dominant 3-3/4 len win (57.0) Total Attraction, Our Miss Jones 1600m M Valley Fillies Classic Mar 23. Coming off successive wins at G2 level and the extra 200 metres shouldn’t be a worry.

Looks the testing material.

TORAH (P G Moody) 3f By Spinning World Perisher Valley (11:1-3-1): Hung in during the race when 8-1/2 len 14th (55.5) Empress Rock 1400m F’ton Kewney Stakes Mar 10 then finished 4-3/4 len 6th (57.0) Empress Rock 1600m M Valley Fillies Classic Mar 23. She’s been safely held by Empress Rock at her past two starts and hard to see her turning the tables here. Place only.

RAHVEEL (L J Corstens) 3f By Zabeel Sarah Vee (9:1-1-0): Resumed racing with 6-3/4 len 7th (53.5) Raspberries 1400m F’ton Pfd Food Serv slow trk Mar 3 then was slowly away before finishing 4-1/2 len 4th (57.0) Empress Rock 1600m M Valley Fillies Classic Mar 23. Worked home OK last time and should get the run of the race here. Each-way chance.

ROCK CULTURE (M A Kavanagh) 3f By Fastnet Rock - Multicultural (10:3-0-3): Got tightened for room before scoring 3-1/4 len win (54.5) Fortza, Tsarina Wonder 1800m M’ville 3yo (75) Feb 25 then followed up with sht 1/2 hd win (55.5) Just Discreet, Exalted Moment 1600m M’ville 3yo Hcp Mar 31. Looks a filly on the up and could be ready to take the next step here.

In the mix.

INVEST (C E Conners) 3f By Dehere - Unearthly (11:1-2-3): Got checked near the 100m when 3/4 len, 1-1/2 len 3rd (54.5) Sweet Ella, Spelldancer 1600m C’field 3yoF Hcp Mar 24 then finished nk 2nd (54.0) Sensational Report 1619m Sale F&M Hcp-82 dead trk April 1. Honest filly but out to this trip for the first time and rough place hope looks best.

OUR MISS JONES (M C Kent) 3f By Darci Brahma - Maryann Jones (5:0-2-2): Was slowly away when 1/2 len, nose 3rd (55.0) Glows, Empress Rock 1200m M Valley Typhoon Tracy Feb 24 then jumped awkwardly and was tightened for room before finishing 3-3/4 len, 1/2 len 3rd (57.0) Empress Rock, Total Attraction 1600m M Valley Fillies Classic Mar 23. Still a maiden but she boasts placings behind Atlantic Jewel and Empress Rock on her CV. Will get back from the wide alley but look for her to be storming home.

JUST DISCREET (P Stokes) 3f By Exceed And Excel - Oh So Discreet (9:2-3-1): Jumped awkwardly before scoring sht 1/2 hd win (55.0) Sea Tryst, Essence 1250m Morphettville Parks 3yo (75) Mar 24 then ran sht 1/2 hd 2nd (55.5) Rock Culture 1600m M’ville 3yo Hcp Mar 31.

Super effort from a wide alley last time. Don’t dismiss.

CRUCIAL (Anthony Freedman) 3f By Nadeem - Dawn Attack (10:2-2-1): After lg nk 2nd (58.5) Plucky Belle 1400m Sandown-Hillside 3yoF (72) slow trk Mar 7 the saddle slipped when 2-1/2 len 4th (54.5) Sweet Ella 1600m C’field 3yoF Hcp Mar 24. Produced extraordinary effort last time after the saddle slipped and jockey was badly disadvantaged. Chance on that effort but big hurdle here is the outside barrier.

Will need luck.

SPELLDANCER (M Ellerton & S Zahra) 3f By Churchill Downs - Cantrip (9:2-2-1): Followed 3/4 len 2nd (51.0) Sweet Ella 1600m C’field 3yoF Hcp Mar 24 with 4-1/2 len 8th (53.5) Red Typhoon 1700m C’field 3yo Hcp April 7.

Generally races on the pace but will need to work early from the draw and she’s a query at the trip. Looking to others.

PRINCESS ROCK (D K Weir) 3f By Rock Of Gibraltar - Scribbling (6:1-1-2): Was slowly away and struck interference early on when 3-1/4 len 6th (57.5) Fast And Free 1523m M Valley 3yo (68) dead trk Mar 12 then ran 4-1/2 len 5th (54.0) Sweet Ella 1600m C’field 3yoF Hcp Mar 24. Fitter for three runs back but she looks tested at this level. Looking elsewhere.

CALL ME BISCUIT (S P Gower) 3f By Oratorio - Twiggy Summit (13:2-1-1): Jumped awkwardly before scoring sht 1/2 hd win (56.0) Treeovus, Fraughtwith Danger 1600m Balaklava (62) dead trk Mar 21 then always well back when 6-1/2 len 13th (54.0) Rock Culture 1600m M’ville 3yo Hcp Mar 31. Up in grade and wide draw is no help. Needs to lift.

QUENCH THE THIRST (M A Kavanagh) 3f By Encosta De Lago - Monsoon Wedding (10:03-1): Had to be vetted after 4 len 2nd (55.0) Stellar Vinia 1400m Balaklava Mdn dead trk Mar 21 then ran 4-1/2 len 10th (54.0) Rock Culture 1600m M’ville 3yo Hcp Mar 31. Still a maiden and aiming a bit high here.

ESSENCE (P Stokes) 3f By Fastnet Rock New Style (8:1-2-1): Followed sht 1/2 hd, 3/4 len 3rd (55.5) Just Discreet, Sea Tryst 1250m Morphettville Parks 3yo (75) Mar 24 with 3-3/4 len 5th (54.0) Rock Culture 1600m M’ville 3yo Hcp Mar 31. Consistent in weaker grade but tested here. Looking elsewhere.

CRIMSON LADY (M D Moroney) 3f By Volksraad - Cremisi (4:2-0-0): Following 1-1/2 len 4th (55.5) Destiny Blaze 1400m SandownLakeside 3yoF (68) dead trk Mar 21 scored 3/4 len win (59.5) Bells Of Troy, Flame Of Lanka 1600m Ballarat F&M Hcp-62 dead trk April 5.

Racing well in lower grade but this is a different kettle of fish. Faces a task from the wide alley.

ELLDAMI (P Stokes) 3f By Al Samer - Autum Fair (5:2-1-1): Beat three home when 7-1/2 len 10th (54.5) Exalted Moment 1400m Oakbank 3yo (75) dead trk Mar 17 then was blocked for a run before scoring 2 len win (55.0) Star Topaze, Akatak 1500m Gawler (78) April 4. Up in grade and distance and will find this tougher. Looking elsewhere.

PENTIMENTO (M C Kent) 3f By Elusive Quality - Portrait Of A Lady (5:2-0-0): Was spelled after 15-3/4 len 6th (55.5) Mosheen 2500m F’ton Crown Oaks Nov 3 and resumed with 1-1/4 len win (59.5) La Vivora, Bella Dolce 1527m Mornington F&M Hcp-62 dead trk Mar 30. Find this a much tougher assignment than her firstup win. Looks safely held.

AMALGAMATE (A W Noonan) 3f By Zenno Rob Roy - Snazzy Nazzy (4:1-1-1): Hung in during the race before finishing 3/4 len, 1-3/4 len 3rd (57.0) Baptism, Seraphee 1400m Cranbourne 3yoF Mdn Mar 9 then scored 1-3/4 len win (57.5) Lady Francesca, Junction Spur 1600m Ballarat F&M Mdn dead trk Mar 22. Just out of maiden grade and rough place hope is best in this.

CRYSTALISED (Anthony Freedman) 3f By Zabeel - Gin Player (4:1-0-3): Following nk win (56.0) Jungle Rover, Ethiopia 1700m Sale Mdn dead trk Feb 5 ran len, 1/2 nk 3rd (57.5) Whitten Oval, Designer 1519m Sale (62) dead trk April 1.

Promising filly who will appreciate the step-up in distance. Can sneak into a place.

ALESSANDRA (M A Kavanagh) 3f By Fastnet Rock - Beldarian (7:1-1-1): Was found to be injured after running 47-1/2 len last (53.5) Rock Culture 1800m M’ville 3yo (75) Feb 25 then finished 3-3/4 len 6th (54.0) Rock Culture 1600m M’ville 3yo Hcp Mar 31. Finished strongly last time and has been placed over this trip but this grade will test. Others look better.

Race eight MORNIN’ SAM (G D Searle) 5g By Musee D’Orsay - Without A Mill (9:5-1-1): Was spelled after 5-1/4 len 6th (54.5) Bagman 1400m Morphettville Parks Christmas Hcp Dec 26 then resumed with lg nk 2nd (56.5) Protector 1250m Morphettville Parks (86) Mar 24. Excellent run first-up and senior rider replaces claiming apprentice in this. Hard to beat.

BELIEVE IN MORE (John Hyam) 5g By More Than Ready - Brookes (39:8-1-6): Finished 5-3/4 len, len 3rd (56.0) We’re Gonna Rock, Globalwarmnsceptic 1000m Morphettville Parks (68+) Mar 10 before running 4-1/2 len 8th (60.0) Protector 1250m Morphettville Parks (86) Mar 24. Looked to have every chance last time but go on win here three starts back.

Can figure.

LITTLE AKIE (B C Mueller) 4g By Akhadan - Double Spirits (15:6-1-2): Scored sht hd win (53.5) Magnificat, Verco Road 1350m Strathalbyn Open Hcp Jan 15 then finished 4-1/4 len 6th (55.0) Pilot’s Lane 1400m Morphettville Parks (68+) Feb 11. Comes off a let-up here and generally shows up while fresh.

In the mix.

COSTA IN THE GLEN (K T Bourke) 7g By Encosta De Lago - Bratenahl (14:5-1-1): Following lg hd win (58.0) Adams Bell, Josimar 1300m Sandown-Hillside (82) Jan 18 ran 4-1/2 len 11th (56.5) Adams Bell 1400m SandownLakeside (82) Jan 28. Scored 1/2 hd win Sistine Angel, Exceed And Excite 800m Cranbourne barrier trial dead trk April 2. Talented galloper with good first-up record (6:3-0-0). Has been plagued with injury but if right, should go close.

RHYNO CHASER (Sam Kavanagh) 6g By Catcher In The Rye - Surfari (24:2-2-1): Was slowly away before finishing 10-3/4 len last (60.0) Revolt 1500m R’hill Rst0ly dead trk Oct 29 then was disappointed for a run when 2-1/2 len 13th (61.0) Glacial Miss 1200m M’ville (81) Mar 31. Yet to place in five runs over this trip and will get back from the wide draw. Needs luck.

GENERAL MARKET (J E Hickmott) 9g By Flying Spur - Market Maid (48:6-5-4): Ran 7-1/4 len 7th (53.0) Alcopop 1600m Balaklava Cup dead trk Sept 2 (2009) before finishing 8-3/4 len 12th (57.0) Keltah 1800m M’ville (86) Sept 12 (2009). Hasn’t raced for two and a half years and will be better for the outing.

READY STEADY VETTI (D G Balfour) 4g By More Than Ready - C’yaontheotherside (10:22-1): Resumed racing with lg nk 2nd (54.0) Set And Forget 1200m M’ville (68+) Mar 12 then ran 1/2 len 4th (59.5) Glacial Miss 1200m M’ville (81) Mar 31. Looks close to a win after two runs back. Among the chances.

STREETCAR REALITY (D R Jolly) 4g By Jeune King Prawn - Stellar Fille (6:3-2-1): Scored hd win (54.5) Verco Road, Believe In More 1200m M’ville (86) Dec 31 then was blocked for a run before finishing 1-1/4 len, nk 3rd (54.0) Counter Sign, Basil Da Man 1000m Morphettville Parks (68+) Mar 24. Talented sprinter and the form around his first-up run has held up. The one to beat.

CUSTODIAN (M J Seyers) 7g By Jeune - On Any Deal (18:6-0-1): Resumed racing with 9-1/2 len last (54.5) Believe In More 1050m M’ville (68+) Feb 25 then struck interference at the start before finishing 11-1/2 len last (54.0) We’re Gonna Rock 1000m Morphettville Parks (68+) Mar 10. Hasn’t got warm this time in and hard to recommend with confidence. Looking elsewhere.

GLACIAL MISS (Tony McEvoy) 5m By Iglesia - Cougar Miss (17:4-4-3): Was vetted after 3-3/4 len 4th (55.5) Always Discreet 1400m Morphettville Parks (86) Mar 10 then scored 1/2 hd win (56.5) Grand Ginger, My Uncle Vinny 1200m M’ville (81) Mar 31. Unbeaten in two runs this track/distance and should get the gun run here. Take tossing.

ROWDY ROCKER (K M Sweeney) 7g By Saratoga Springs - Sally Rose (51:7-5-9): Only beat two home when 5-3/4 len 12th (59.0) Horatius 1100m Oakbank (86) dead trk Mar 17 thn was slowly away before finishing 4-1/4 len last (57.0) Glacial Miss 1200m M’ville (81) Mar 31. Hasn’t struck a blow this time in and others have better claims.

GOONDI (M J Whittle) 7g By Lacryma Cristi Little Ripa (50:6-3-5): Finished 5 len 4th (54.0) Outlandish Lad 1200m M’ville Flying Hcp dead trk Mar 3 then raced erratically when 3-3/4 len 6th (56.5) Protector 1250m Morphettville Parks (86) Mar 24. Has been thereabouts of late without looking like winning. Perhaps a place.

TABULATED (Jon O’Connor) 4m By Exceed And Excel - Itemise (19:4-5-1): Made it three in a row with 1-3/4 len win (52.5) Conduction, Justify That 1550m Morphettville Parks (86) dead trk Nov 26 then was vetted after 2-1/2 len 5th (54.0) Miss With Attitude 1600m M’ville (86) dead trk Dec 10. Finished 6th Conservatorium 1000m Morphettville Parks barrier trial Mar 26.

Hasn’t placed in four previous first-up runs and will be improved by the outing.

YOU DEE CEE (Jon O’Connor) 5g By More Than Ready - Wishes (28:4-4-7): Ran hd, 1-1/4 len 3rd (59.0) Jeunealistic, Grand Ginger 1200m M’ville (75) Mar 12 before finishing 1-3/4 len 8th (56.0) Glacial Miss 1200m M’ville (81) Mar 31. Finished right on the heels of the placegetters last time and will be fitter for two runs back off a decent break. Could be the value runner here.

DUBAWI GOLD (S P Gower) 4g By Dubawi Export Gold (9:3-2-1): Struck interference at the start before finishing 1-1/4 len, lg nk 3rd (54.5) Dad Knows Best, Nice And Neat 1200m Sandown-Lakeside (78) slow trk Feb 29 then ran 3-3/4 len 7th (54.0) It’s Crunch Time 1200m M Valley (78) Mar 23. Has ability but will need some luck from the wide alley here. Looking to others.

Doomben comment Race one DANSONATE (P J Balzen) 2c By Snippetson Quickstep Lady (7:2-2-0): Overcame a wide run to score 3/4 len win (56.0) Bullet One, Bam’s Boy 1000m E Farm 2yo Hcp heavy trk Mar 17. Sat behind the speed and boxed on solidly 2-1/2 len 4th (57.5) Charge A Fortune 1000m E Farm 2yo Hcp April 7. Hard to fault but he has to carry the big weight here and the wide gate will test him.

CRAIGLEA TEQUILA (P J Fleming) 2g By Frisco View - Craiglea Miss (11:5-1-1): Won five of first eight in moderate fields before freshened and led for a fair way but knocked up badly in 13 len 7th (57.0) Doubtfilly 1200m Gold Coast 2yo Plate heavy trk Mar 17, then always well back after tightened for room and hung out during race in 22-3/4 len 11th (57.0) Snipzu 1200m Toowoomba Cushion 2yo Plate Mar 29. Early record warrants some respect.

TOP RADA (R K McCall) 2g By Top Echelon - Dorada (2:1-0-0): Ran on strongly for smart debut 3/4 len win (56.5) Caldetes, Utilism 1110m D’ben 2yo Hcp dead trk Oct 29, then spelled after sent for Vet examination when struck interference at start and settled at the tail in well beaten 7-1/4 len 8th (57.0) Dansonate 1000m E Farm 2yo Hcp Nov 26.

Looked sharp with 4-1/2 len win Smakatus, Empress Of Rome 900m Deagon barrier trial Mar 29. Must be respected on win debut here.

KHAANTANTES (R L Heathcote) 2g By Falvelon - Cantantes (2:0-0-1): Favourite for debut where she was slowly away before she ran into it on the turn but struggled from there for 6-1/4 len 5th (55.0) Dansonate 1000m E Farm 2yo Hcp Nov 26, then had a break before sat just off the pace and battled on well for 1/2 hd, 1-1/4 len 3rd (56.5) Wolfsburg, Holey Gadoley 1200m E Farm 2yo Hcp dead trk Mar 31. Handy efforts first two and better for that experience. Worth some thought.

PURE SHORES (P A Nolan Jnr) 2g By Court Command - Crowned Lady (4:0-2-0): Handy first two at Ipswich before ran on from midfield after checked near 600m and hung in during race for a solid 1-3/4 len 4th (55.0) Dansonate 1000m E Farm 2yo Hcp heavy trk Mar 17, then led for a long way in 4-1/2 len 2nd (57.0) Snipzu 1200m Toowoomba Cushion 2yo Plate Mar 29. Shown enough at first four to warrant some consideration.

WOLFSBURG (John Thompson) 2f By Husson - Oomph (2:1-0-1): Spelled after showed early pace in debut 3-1/2 len, lg nk 3rd (54.0) Snipzu, Holey Gadoley 1000m E Farm 2yo Hcp Oct 22.

Had two trials before favourite when resumed with on pace 1/2 hd win (55.0) Holey Gadoley, Khaantantes 1200m E Farm 2yo Hcp dead trk Mar 31. Should be prominent again.

HI SON (D T Kelly) 2c: First start. By Husson - Danish Colony. Not seen at the public trials.

Dam a 2002 mare by Danzero was unplaced at six race starts. This is her second named foal.

The first has two 1350m wins here and five placings from 15 race starts.

OBLIVIATE (R G Lipp) 2g: First start. By Red Dazzler - Royal Shiraz. Prepared for debut with len win Natural Mist, Sparkling Sound 850m Toowoomba Cushion barrier trial (Mdn) April 3. Dam won seven races from 1000m to 1200m including a Listed event. Both her foals to race are winners. Big watch.

PRESENTATION (Ms G Heinrich) 2g By Choisir - Awards (1:0-0-0): Favourite for debut but got well back early after slowly away then raced greenly before making late ground in 1-3/4 len 4th (58.0) Abbalac 1110m D’ben 2yo Mdn slow trk Mar 28. Solid effort first up. Tougher this time but must be considered.

UTILISM (John Thompson) 2f By Casino Prince - Joie More (3:1-0-1): Came from last early for debut 3rd here 1110m 2yo in Oct., before spelled after always near the tail when checked near 800m., blocked for run and rider charged with careless riding in 5-1/4 len 9th (57.0) Optionality 1020m D’ben 2yoF Hcp Nov 19. Won a trial at Deagon before hot favourite when resumed and overcame slow start to run on from midfield for len win (56.5) Finality, Magic Twist 1200m Sunshine Coast 2yo Mdn heavy trk April 1. Big jump in class but looks handy type. Chance in a tough race.

AVANCE (N J Doyle) 2g By Charge Forward Retract (3:0-0-0): Sent for a spell after faded from midfield and rider charged with careless riding when 11-1/2 len 9th (56.0) Love Laughing 1200m D’ben 2yo Hcp heavy trk Dec 10. Had a little support when resumed from wide draw (11) but was well back when struck interference near turn in 16-1/2 len 11th (56.0) Abbalac 1110m D’ben 2yo Mdn slow trk Mar 28. May need more racing.

BURLEIGH HEADS (Bruce Hill) 2c By Choisir Jollity (3:0-0-0): Well beaten 10th on debut at E Farm then spelled after raced handy but ran wide during race and faded for 10-1/2 len 8th (56.0) Snipzu 1000m E Farm 2yo Hcp Oct 22. Best effort to date when resumed and ran wide during race but made some late ground for 1-3/4 len 6th (55.5) Wolfsburg 1200m E Farm 2yo Hcp dead trk Mar 31.

Improving with racing. Worth some thought.

DANSAL (R Wilson) 2f By Ferocity - Saminites (5:1-0-1): Tightened for room before ran past a few late but a long way from the winner when 5-1/4 len, 1-1/2 len 3rd (55.0) Doubtfilly, Snipzu 1200m Gold Coast 2yo Plate heavy trk Mar 17, then fair effort for this when blocked for run but battled on well for a close up 1-1/2 len 4th (55.5) Wolfsburg 1200m E Farm 2yo Hcp dead trk Mar 31. Rough claims.

ELLAWISDOM (T B Thomas) 2f By Top Echelon - Zartacus (3:0-0-0): Spelled after handy debut 4th Sunshine Coast 1000m 2yo Mdn in Dec. Settled at the tail and ran wide near turn when resumed and plodded past a few late for 3-1/4 len 6th (53.0) Just Pokenalong 1000m Sunshine Coast Cushi 2yo Hcp Mar 25, then raced erratically, raced greenly and ran wide during race when always near the tail but not beaten that far in 2-3/4 len 9th (54.0) Wolfsburg 1200m E Farm 2yo Hcp dead trk Mar 31. Should be better for that experience. Look for improvement.

SILKEN ENDURANCE (Ms M Thexton) 2c By General Nediym - Silken Power (2:0-0-0): Moderate support for debut where she got well back early and lost a plate in 8-1/4 len 7th (54.0) Noogoora Burr 1000m E Farm 2yo C&G Plate heavy trk Oct 8, then spelled after ran wide during race and never better than midfield in 7-3/4 len 6th (55.5) Snipzu 1000m E Farm 2yo Hcp Oct 22. Needs to find plenty of improvement.

SPINNING HEART (P Duff) 2f By Show A Heart - Daninkling (2:0-0-0): Had three trials before raced greenly and beat only two home in small field for 5-3/4 len 4th (56.0) Lita 1100m Gold Coast 2yo Mdn heavy trk Mar 3, then slowly away from widest draw (12) and plodded on for 4-1/2 len 10th (54.0) Wolfsburg 1200m E Farm 2yo Hcp dead trk Mar 31. Place looks best.

Race two

Should have finished closer last time. Keep in mind.

AUSWORLD (P Duff) 7g By Nuclear Freeze Amarjet (46:6-6-7): Added to consistent record when always handy but blocked for run in sht nk, 1-3/4 len 3rd (55.0) Rock Home Late, Bingo Rose 1500m E Farm C6 dead trk Mar 31, then another honest showing when settled midfield from wide draw (11) and battled on well for 2 len 4th (54.0) River Lad 1400m E Farm Open Hcp April 9. Rarely far away but having a lot of trouble winning one lately. Worth some thought.

ROCK HOME LATE (B Herne) 6g By Rock Of Gibraltar - Mary McGlinchy (34:6-1-4): Freshened before struck interference at start but soon into stride and led early before holding on well in lg nk, 3/4 len 3rd (55.5) Lucky Songs, Tokamak 1400m E Farm C6 heavy trk Mar 17, then favourite when worked across from wide draw (12) and led throughout to score sht nk win (56.0) Bingo Rose, Ausworld 1500m E Farm C6 dead trk Mar 31. Has been unplaced four tries here but must rate well on latest effort.

DANCEFLOOR PRODIGY (C Smith) 6g By Redoute’s Choice - Ballroom Babe (34:8-5-5): Had nearly four months off before struggled in a moderate field for 3-1/4 len 8th (56.5) Convictor 1200m Dalby Newmarket Hcp Mar 10, then a hot favourite but a fair way from the winner when 3-1/2 len, nk 3rd (60.5) Emmertt, Agent Blue 1200m Roma Open Hcp Mar 24. Won three straight in weak company early in the season. Rough claims.

CHART (A J Edmonds) 5g By Viscount Clothilde (24:5-5-3): Had some support when resumed from six months off but dropped to the tail after blundered at start in a small field and only plodded past a couple late for 2-3/4 len 5th (56.5) Johnnieontherocks 1400m Sunshine Coast Cushi (Bm80) Mar 18, then solid enough effort when ran wide during race in a big field but held on fairly for 3-1/4 len 5th (57.0) Rock Home Late 1500m E Farm C6 dead trk Mar 31.

Better for those two runs. Look for improvement.

TEA TATTLE (J Dann) 5g By Tayasu Tsuyoshi Bellavinda (21:4-2-1): Made plenty of late ground for 3rd E Farm 1400m C6 on a heavy track before settled at the tail and ran on only fairly for 6 len 8th (56.5) Lucky Songs 1400m E Farm C6 heavy trk Mar 17, then dropped to the tail from widest draw (16) and blocked for run when well beaten 7 len 14th (54.5) Rock Home Late 1500m E Farm C6 dead trk Mar 31. Overlook last start from horror draw. Look for improvement.

NAYNAY (N Schofield) 7g By Mossman - Quick Reward (46:8-7-8): Settled well back from a wide draw (14) and ran on fairly for 6-3/4 len 7th (56.0) Trombone Alley 1350m D’ben E&G Rst0 heavy trk Mar 24, then came from wide draw (12) again for a similar effort in 3-1/4 len 8th (56.0) Bianca Jewel 1400m E Farm (Bm80) April 7. Place looks best.

TAFEER (K M Schweida) 5m By Shamardal Tafra (23:5-2-3): Had four months off before on the pace at the turn and held on fairly for 3 len 9th (55.5) Paris Blu 1200m D’ben Plate C6 dead trk Mar 10, then lost a plate but always handy in 3-1/2 len 5th (54.0) Symposium 1300m E Farm (Bm85) dead trk Mar 31. Not that far away in three starts after win here 1350m C6 in Oct. Among the chances.

TELESTO WARRIOR (M J Lakey) 7g By Telesto Saucy Broc (43:6-6-3): Long odds when got back early and made some late ground for close up 1-1/2 len 6th (54.5) Garozzo 1650m D’ben Plate C6 heavy trk Mar 24, then broke a long run of outs when settled midfield and ran on best to score lg hd win (54.0) Inadequate, Originate 1640m D’ben (Bm75) April 4. A little harder this time.

UNCLE JAN (M A Kropp) 8g By Our Maizcay - Magic Sea (74:7-8-8): Slowly away and plodded past a couple late in a small field for 3/4 len, 1-1/4 len 3rd (55.5) Professor, Bang On 1625m Toowoomba Cushion (Bm80) Mar 17, then closest at the finish with 3-1/4 len 4th (56.0) Telesto Warrior 1640m D’ben (Bm75) April 4. Unplaced seven starts over this track/ distance. Runs the occasional handy race but a long time between wins.

RANDOM ORBIT (M G Nolan) 4g By Stromberg Carlson - Icemaze (38:4-8-6): Ran on from last in a small field for win Toowoomba Cushion track 1500m (Bm75) before sent for a Vet examination after pulled hard during race and dropped out late for 10-1/4 len last (56.0) Professor 1625m Toowoomba Cushion (Bm80) Mar 17, and ran wide during race when came from wide draw (11) and never threatened in 6 len 12th (54.0) Rock Home Late 1500m E Farm C6 dead trk Mar 31. No wins in 11 starts here but he does have seven placings. Must be considered.

DANCE IDOL (B K Wakefield) 5m By Danehill Dancer - Distinctly (24:4-2-3): Had good support and came from well back early for nose, 3-1/4 len 3rd (56.0) Flying Dynamite, Clangor 1800m Sunshine Coast (Bm70) dead trk Mar 4, but flopped in tough going last time when 7-1/2 len last (53.0) Garozzo 1650m D’ben Plate C6 heavy trk Mar 24. Placed one of four since resumed for wins Ipswich 1350m F&M C2 and here 1640m C3. Has some claims.

FOOTSTEPSINTHEDUST (J P Morrisey) 5g By Footstepsinthesand - Tucklan Lass (26:4-5-4): Freshened before settled at the tail then tightened for room and blocked for run when edging past a couple of tired ones for 9-3/4 len 8th (55.0) Go Kingpin 1400m Gold Coast (Bm75) heavy trk Mar 24, and showed little to impress last time when prominent midway but faded from there for 21-1/2 len last (54.5) Kevejon 1800m Gold Coast (Bm75) slow trk Mar 31.

Disappointed at three starts since resumed from six months off for win Gold Coast 1200m C4 in Feb. Place looks best.

FULL METAL JACKET (John Thompson) 5g By Elvstroem - Haywire (24:4-1-0): Always near the tail when 5 len 7th (54.0) Lucky Songs 1400m E Farm C6 heavy trk Mar 17, then beat only four home but not that far away with 3-1/2 len 11th (54.0) Bianca Jewel 1400m E Farm (Bm80) April 7. Well beaten in five Queensland starts since a fair record in South Australia.

Rough prospects.

Race four

LADY AGULHAS (T J Dougall) 5m By Dane Shadow - Most Excellent (23:6-4-3): Settled back early in a field of six and ran home best for 4 len win (57.0) Darth, Big Ken The Celt 1350m Ipswich Plate C3 slow trk Mar 9, then had no luck when well supported but slowly away, checked near 600m and blocked for run in a fairly close up 4-1/2 len 8th (54.0) Kalkie Kane 1350m D’ben C5 April 4. Only placed one of four here but this field isn’t flash. Must be considered.

MONEYSAVER (G D Yorke) 5m By Reset - Lo Zimbello (23:5-3-5): Third run back from a break when battled on well for lg hd win (54.5) Tivoli Beau, Foxy One 1200m Port Macquarie (Bm65) Mar 13, then ed for a long way in 3/4 len, lg nk 3rd (55.5) Kumali, Zamboni 1350m D’ben F&M Rst0 heavy trk Mar 24. Had good support for placing here last July. Keep safe.

ANGEL FROM ABOVE (W M Wehl) 4m By Face Value - Obsessive Angel (27:3-5-4): Sent for a break after favourite for win Roma 1640m C3 in Nov. Resumed for a moderate 2-1/4 len 4th (62.5) Alphonse 1200m Roma C3 Mar 24, then disappointed with 5-1/2 len 4th (60.0) Alphonse 1200m Roma C5 April 7. Beaten favourite in weaker fields last two and unplaced both tries here. Prefer others.

BITASILK (M A Kropp) 5m By Markane - Sea Dette (30:5-4-2): Had five months off before came from well back for win Sunshine Coast 1300m C4 then dropped to the tail early and plodded past a couple of tired ones late for 4-1/2 len 7th (55.5) Kumali 1350m D’ben F&M Rst0 heavy trk Mar 24, and never threatened with 6-1/2 len 7th (54.5) Telesto Warrior 1640m D’ben (Bm75) April 4. Placed one of three here.

Rough claims.

FINN CLASS (B N Miller) 5m By Elvstroem Replicate (22:3-4-3): Close 4th first run here before sent for a break after handy at the turn but knocked up for 5-1/2 len 13th (52.0) Kar Ma Te 1500m E Farm Rst0 Nov 26. Long odds when resumed and made some late ground for sht 1/2 hd, 1-1/4 len 3rd (56.0) Bribie, St Darci 1200m D’ben C3 April 4. Handy efforts both starts here and has won two of eight at the distance. Expect a forward showing.

ZAMBONI (P A Hulbert) 4m By Bradbury’s Luck - Valour To Valour (25:2-9-3): Added to consistent record when ran on from midfield for 3/4 len 4th (57.5) Abdicated 1200m Ipswich C2 slow trk Mar 16, then another honest showing when 3/4 len 2nd (56.0) Kumali 1350m D’ben F&M Rst0 heavy trk Mar 24. Fairly solid record in seven starts since wins E Farm 1500m Mdn and Sunshine Coast 1400m C1 early in the season.

Should be thereabouts at the end.

AMINUTEMORE (D D Schmidt) 5m By Zariz Worth Every Minute (21:3-1-3): Second win on heavy tracks when freshened and ran on from midfield for 2 len win (54.0) Manicero, Diadem Trist 1400m Gold Coast C2 heavy trk Mar 17, then had good support but struck interference in straight when not beaten that far with 3 len 6th (56.0) Darth 1400m Sunshine Coast C3 heavy trk April 1. First start here. Has some claims.

GOLOTTO (S W Thompson) 5m By Country Reel - Starlotto (23:4-3-6): Raced handy in a small field but a long way from the winner when 4-3/4 len, 2-1/4 len 3rd (55.5) Sharbougg, Corporal Jones 1600m Scone (Bm60) slow trk Mar 6, then dropped to the tail early and blocked for run when making ground in a solid sht nk, 2-1/4 len 3rd (56.0) Bewitching Babe, Here De Storm 1300m Scone (Bm58) Mar 27. Fair record in moderate NSW fields. Worth some thought.

MORE BUBBLY (John Thompson) 3f By More Than Ready - Special Cuvee (11:1-0-4): Had four months off before odds-on favourite and came from well back early then cleared out for impressive 3 len win (57.0) Don’t Tell Cyril, Little Feather 1020m D’ben 3yoF Mdn slow trk Mar 14 then had little luck in 4-1/2 len 8th (54.0) Morning Captain 1200m E Farm 3yo Hcp dead trk Mar 31. No luck last start. Can atone.

BELLE VERDE (B S Baldwin) 4m By Greenwood Lake - Mabel Downs (13:2-1-2): Sent for a long break after came from widest draw (12) and caught wide early on but fought on gamely for 3/4 len win (55.0) Lines Of Time, Mackenzie 1350m Ipswich F&M C1 July 22.

Sat behind the speed and knuckled down strongly along the inside in the straight to score 1/2 nk win (56.5) Ocean Park, Silent Achiever 2000m R’hill Rosehill Gneas Mar 31. Half-brother to Desert War who has come a long way in a short period of time. Drawn awkwardly. Leading contender.

STRIKE THE STARS (A J Cummings) 3g By Savabeel - Ambitious (11:1-3-1): Ran second to Mosheen in the G1 Australian Guineas at Caulfield then got a long way back and worked home strongly in restricted room 2-1/4 len 7th (56.5) Mosheen 1600m R’wick Randwick Gneas slow trk Mar 17. Covered ground but kept finding the line gamely 3-1/2 len 5th (56.5) Laser Hawk 2000m R’hill Rosehill Gneas Mar 31. Include.

DARCI BE GOOD (E B Murray) 3c By Darci Brahma - You Can’t Say That (12:3-2-1): Used up to take up a forward position and was no match at the business end 5-3/4 len 10th (56.5) Laser Hawk 2000m R’hill Rosehill Gneas Mar 31. Settled just off the speed on the fence and held position to the line 3-1/2 len 5th (56.0) Polish Knight 2000m R’hill Tulloch Stakes April 7. Hasn’t shown much this time in.

SABRAGE (M D Moroney) 3c By Charge Forward - Galroof (10:2-0-2): Worked home along the fence from the tail to finish 3 len 4th (57.0) Highly Recommended 2040m M Valley Alister Clark slow trk Mar 16. Strode along midfield but couldn’t make any impression in the straight 6 len 11th (56.5) Laser Hawk 2000m R’hill Rosehill Gneas Mar 31. Ran third in the VRC Derby last year but was going much better then than he is now. Not keen.

OCEAN PARK (G T Hennessy) 3c By Thorn Park - Sayyida (7:3-3-0): Strode along midfield and found the line well in restricted room 2-1/4 len 8th (56.5) Mosheen 1600m R’wick Randwick Gneas slow trk Mar 17. Came with big strides from a long way back to just miss 1/2 nk 2nd (56.5) Laser Hawk 2000m R’hill Rosehill Gneas Mar 31. Top class kiwi who arguably should have won the Rosehill Guineas last start. Drawn more favourably here and Boss sticks with him. Rate highly.

REKINDLED ALLIANCE (Paul Messara) 3c By Redoute’s Choice - Rekindled Affair (8:1-4-0): Landed in a good spot midfield and hit the line gamely for close-up sht nk 2nd (56.5) Colorado Claire 1500m R’hill Phar Lap Stakes dead trk Mar 24. Got back and loomed up to take the lead inside the final furlong but was overpowered late 3/4 len 2nd (56.0) Polish Knight 2000m R’hill Tulloch Stakes April 7.

Had his chance to win the Tulloch Stakes last start but found one better. Won’t find this any easier. Prepared to take him on.

POLISH KNIGHT (M, W & J Hawkes) 3g By Encosta De Lago - Polish Princess (5:2-1-0): Should have finished closer when 2-3/4 len 9th (54.5) Flashy Fella 2000m C’field 3yo Hcp Mar 24. Lobbed along out the back and swept past rivals over the concluding stages to score upset 3/4 len win (56.0) Rekindled Alliance, Isopach 2000m R’hill Tulloch Stakes April 7. Impressed when winning the Tulloch Stakes last Saturday but not sure if that is the right formline. Place chance.

HOYLONNY (C J Waller) 3c By Lonhro Roedean (7:2-0-2): Covered ground midfield and did well to finish off for 1-3/4 len 4th (56.5) Upbeat 1800m C’field Autumn Classic dead trk Feb 25. Got well back and worked home strongly without threatening 3-3/4 len 6th (56.5) Laser Hawk 2000m R’hill Rosehill Gneas Mar 31. Well bred colt who was far from disgraced in the Rosehill Guineas last start. The extra 400m shouldn’t worry him.

One at odds.

SATIRICAL BOY (Ms G Waterhouse) 3g By Fusaichi Pegasus - Satirical (8:3-0-1): Took up a forward position and kicked on strongly with the big weight to score dominant 1-3/4 len win (61.5) Russian Star, Twelve Oclock Rock 1900m C’bury 3yo (Bm70) Mar 16. Positioned midfield on the fence and worked home soundly once clear 3-1/2 len 6th (56.0) Polish Knight 2000m R’hill Tulloch Stakes April 7. Didn’t get much room in the Tulloch Stakes last Saturday.

ETHIOPIA (P G Carey) 3g By Helenus - Shona (3:0-1-2): Kicked off career with a close-up third at Sale over 1700m then kept finding the line from the back 3/4 len, 3/4 len 3rd (56.5) Upbeat, Flashy Fella 1800m C’field Autumn Classic dead trk Feb 25. Lobbed along out the back but managed to made up good ground in the run home 1/2 len 2nd (57.0) Highly Recommended 2040m M Valley Alister Clark slow trk Mar 16. Lightly raced gelding who shows plenty of promise but can query the form out of his last run in the Alister Clark.

Prefer others.

ON EVERY LEVEL (Scott Aspery) 3g By Outback Prince - Suscito (7:1-2-0): Weakened off the pace for disappointing 3-3/4 len last (55.0) Satirical Boy 1900m C’bury 3yo (Bm70) Mar 16. Kept finding the line from the back for 3-1/2 len 7th (56.0) Polish Knight 2000m R’hill Tulloch Stakes April 7. Safely held in the Tulloch Stakes last start. Hard to see him turning things around here.

SILENT ACHIEVER (R A James) 3f By O’Reilly - Winning Spree (8:5-1-2): Made a long run from the tail at the 800m and went straight past rivals to score impressive 2-1/2 len win (54.5) Rock ‘n’ Pop, Carrick 2400m Ellerslie N.Z. Derby slow trk Mar 3. Ridden patiently from the wide gate and was still well back turning for home but managed to close in bravely 1/2 nk, lg hd 3rd (54.5) Laser Hawk, Ocean Park 2000m R’hill Rosehill Gneas Mar 31. Star kiwi filly who was brave in defeat in the Rosehill Guineas a fortnight ago. Big chance of going one better here.

Race eight

EFFICIENT (Robert Hickmott) 8g By Zabeel Refused The Dance (27:7-0-0): Lobbed along at the rear and was left floundering when second-up 10-3/4 len 10th (59.0) Lucas Cranach 1800m C’field Peter Young Feb 25 then settled well back again when wound up from the 800m for 2-3/4 len 5th (59.0) Manighar 2000m F’ton Australian Cup Mar 10. Came of age when he won the 2007 Melbourne Cup but it’s been a while since he saluted the judge. Beaten less than three lengths in the Australian Cup last start. That form reads well for this.

ZAVITE (A J Cummings) 9g By Zabeel - Miss Vita (66:11-6-3): Rolled along in front but was no match when the pressure went on 8-1/2 len 12th (59.0) Manighar 2000m R’hill Ranvet Stks dead trk Mar 24. Pulled up with cardiac arrhythmia after struggling home for 5-3/4 len 10th (59.0) Western Symbol 2000m R’hill H.K.J.C. Stks April 7. Won a G1 this time last year but he hasn’t fired a shot this campaign.

Take on trust.

ONCE WERE WILD (Ms G Waterhouse) 5m

By Johannesburg - Wildesong (23:7-1-2): Got back and drifted further back in the straight when resuming with poor 14-1/4 len 7th (57.5) Steps In Time 1400m W Farm Wiggle Stks dead trk Mar 10. Ridden more positively and fought on for much improved len, sht 1/2 hd 3rd (58.5) Fibrillation, Crafty Irna 1900m R’hill Epona Stakes Mar 31. Last win was in this race last year but she ran a much improved race in the Epona Stakes last start. Suited out to this trip and Rawiller has a good record on her.

Each way appeal.

OLDER THAN TIME (Ms G Waterhouse) 5m

By Don Eduardo - Up The Hill (20:5-4-4): Returned with a third in the G3 Millie Fox then sat behind the speed and boxed on gamely for close-up 1/2 nk, 1-1/2 len 3rd (59.0) Fibrillation, Cabernet 1600m R’wick Aspiration Qlty slow trk Mar 17. Enjoyed a cosy run midfield on the fence and worked home for honest lg hd, 3-1/2 len 3rd (54.0) Permit, Precedence 2400m R’hill N E Manion Cup Mar 31. Finished fourth in this race last year before going on to run second in the Sydney Cup. Going just as well this time around. Leading contender.

PERMIT (C J Waller) 5g By Dansili - Cochin (17:5-2-3): Closed in well from midfield for 3/4 len, len 3rd (54.0) Maules Creek, Herculian Prince 2000m R’wick Randwick Qlty slow trk Mar 17. Ridden patiently and overpowered rivals at the business end lg hd win (54.0) Precedence, Older Than Time 2400m R’hill N E Manion Cup Mar 31. Keep safe.

GALIZANI (John Thompson) 5m By Galileo - Zahani (20:4-2-1): Got a long way back with the big weight at was never likely 6-3/4 len 10th (58.0) Fibrillation 1600m R’wick Aspiration Qlty slow trk Mar 17. Always well back again during 7-1/4 len last (57.0) Fibrillation 1900m R’hill Epona Stakes Mar 31. Impossible to recommend on recent form.

SOLID BILLING (C E Ritchie) 7g By Rock Of Gibraltar - A Star Affair (46:7-3-6): Positioned midfield and held ground to the line when resuming from short break 6-3/4 len 6th (54.0) Fill The Page 2000m Canberra Canberra Cup dead trk Mar 11. Box-seated but was no match when the pressure went on 10-3/4 len 11th (54.0) Permit 2400m R’hill N E Manion Cup Mar 31. Waiting for improvement.

BEIJING BOY (C J Waller) 7g By Yamanin Vital - Mega Babe (30:8-4-2): Lobbed along out the back and made up ground without threatening 2-1/4 len 5th (54.0) Single 1900m R’hill Sky High Stakes dead trk Mar 24. Got back in a slowly run event and was never in the hunt 7 len 12th (54.0) Western Symbol 2000m R’hill H.K.J.C. Stks April 7. Can add value into the exotics.

HANKS (P G Moody) 5g By Encosta De Lago - Sister Fromseattle (21:5-1-0): Won over 3000m at Moonee Valley then sat behind the speed and proved too strong in the run home 1-1/4 len win (58.5) Rowland, Montgomery 2500m M Valley M.V. Night Cup Feb 24.

Freshened after working home gamely from midfield 4-3/4 len 5th (54.5) Rialya 3200m M’ville Adelaide Cup Mar 12. Kept ticking over with 2-1/2 len win Stoneblack, Harlow 2400m Cranbourne barrier trial (RHDLE) dead trk April 5. Freshened. Victorian who comes into this in good form. Sharpened up with a hurdle trial before coming to Sydney. Don’t underestimate.

ANUDJAWUN (S A Dwyer) 6g By Yamanin Vital - Perceptible (23:1-5-6): Settled in the second half of the field and hit the line powerfully 1-1/2 len 5th (54.5) Dance With Her 1600m Bendigo (Metro) Golden Mile dead trk Mar 17. Landed in a good spot midfield and did his best work late again 3/4 len, 1/2 hd 3rd (56.5) Chasse, Fawkner 2000m C’field Open Hcp Mar 24. Seems to always be running on strongly but normally finds a couple too strong. Ran second in this race last year.

Should be around the mark again from the good draw.

GUNS AT FIVE (C J Wood) 4g By Duelled Accidentallyinlove (18:5-2-1): Swept past rivals from the second half of the field to record 1/2 len win (59.5) Chaparrone, Endor 2500m Trentham Nz St Leger Mar 17. Got a long way back again and only managed to pass a few 4-3/4 len 9th (55.0) Riomoral 2000m Awapuni Awapuni Cup Mar 31. Kiwi who is on the up.

Proven over this trip and is attractively weighted. Top hoop engaged. Respect.

MUIRFIELD (M D Moroney) 4g By Don Eduardo - Centennial Star (12:3-1-1): Allowed to balance up early and charged to the line late to score dominant 2-3/4 len win (55.0) Sea Skye, Epic Dragon 1800m Sandown-Hillside (82) slow trk Mar 7. Settled worse than midfield on the fence and powered to the line again len 2nd (56.0) Extra Zero 2000m Albury Albury Gold Cup dead trk Mar 23. Can make his presence felt.

Got back and worked passed a few without ever threatening 6-3/4 len 7th (54.0) Permit 2400m R’hill N E Manion Cup Mar 31. Gets a long way back and finds it hard to win. Take on trust.

OUR SERENA (P G Carey) 5m By Fantastic Light - Tygry (40:2-6-7): kept finding the line from midfield to finish 2-1/2 len 4th (55.0) Pride Of Coupez 3000m M Valley Series Final Mar 23. Settled on the pace and gave her all but was no match for winner 3-1/2 len 2nd (52.5) Eladoni 3000m Sandown-Lakeside (89) dead trk April 4. Beaten in a much easier event at Sandown last start. Needs to lift.

PRIDE OF COUPEZ (K M Keys) 7g By Ne Coupez Pas - Salagain (31:5-3-3): Came from worse than midfield for len 4th (54.0) Aiglon 3000m M Valley (89) dead trk Mar 12. Freshened after overpowering rivals from midfield to score narrow 1/2 nk win (55.0) I’m Jake, Saddler’s Story 3000m M Valley Series Final Mar 23. Solid win at Moonee Valley last start but goes up many grades into this. Rough place chance.

PLANET PURPLE (K J Parker) 5g By Universal Prince - Jewel Of Atlantis (17:3-3-3): Made up good ground from the back for close-up sht nk 2nd (54.0) Maximus Gladiator 2400m Kembla Grange (Bm74) Mar 25. Given his chance but found a couple too strong 3-1/2 len, 1-1/4 len 3rd (54.5) Kelinni, Watertight 2500m Randwick-Kensington (Bm75) April 1. Shows staying promise but prefer to see in something easier at this stage.

STARSTREAMED (K T Webb) 4g By Starcraft - Gay Performance (17:3-4-1): Favourite and ran on well for win Toowoomba Cushion track 1200m C2 before always near the tail in a small field when hung in during race for 6-1/4 len 7th (58.0) Interview 1650m D’ben C4 Feb 22, then again hung in during race before coming from last early for a moderate 3-1/4 len, 3/4 len 3rd (59.0) Boardies, Phantomoftheopera 1000m Toowoomba Cushion Plate C3 Mar 29. Placed three of eight here. Rough claims.

ABSALON (Jason McLachlan) 3c By Mossman - Danish Seaway (8:2-0-0): Reported to have failed due to track condition when resumed from four months off and never likely in 7-1/2 len 7th (58.5) Boys On Tour 1200m E Farm 3yo Hcp heavy trk Mar 3, then got back early and ran wide during race when struggled throughout for 6-1/2 len 10th (58.5) Morning Captain 1200m E Farm 3yo Hcp dead trk Mar 31. Disappointing at six starts since Listed race win here 1200m in June. Look for improvement.

RUN WITH ME (T M Whittington) 3g By Sandtrap - On The Run (7:2-3-0): Only start here ran on from midfield at the turn for win 1200m 3yo before dropped to the tail from widest draw (15) and never likely in 11 len 11th (57.5) Boys On Tour 1200m E Farm 3yo Hcp heavy trk Mar 3, then freshened before closest at the finish in a moderate 2 len 5th (57.0) Morning Captain 1200m E Farm 3yo Hcp dead trk Mar 31. Has some claims.

BLACK JAG (P A Hulbert) 3g By Excites - I’m A Showoff (12:1-3-0): Had five months off before ran wide during race but made some late ground for 1-1/4 len 2nd (59.0) Arado 1100m Ipswich C1 slow trk Mar 9, then not that far behind the placegetters when prominent into the straight and held on fairly for 2-1/4 len 7th (56.0) Bribie 1200m D’ben C3 April 4. Better for two runs back from five months off. Worth some thought.

NO MORE BULL (L J Gough) 3g By Bullmore - Follow The Sails (10:1-2-1): Handled heavy going best for win E Farm 1600m Mdn before ran into it on the turn and held on well for 1-1/4 len 2nd (53.0) Pretty Pins 2020m D’ben 3yo Hcp slow trk Dec 24, then sent for a break after made some late ground for 2-1/2 len 5th (54.5) Mr Light Blue 2200m Gold Coast (Metro) Plate C6 Jan 7. Sharpened up with 3/4 len 2nd Soaring Angel 1020m D’ben barrier trial dead trk April 3. Placed two of four here. Not the roughest.

VENTURE ON (B J Smith) 3g By Nothing To Lose - Echo Rose (4:2-0-0): Won first two at the Sunshine Coast before spelled after had support but never threatened in 4-1/2 len 5th (58.0) Strip Show 1500m E Farm 3yo Hcp Oct 1, then sat just off the pace most of the trip in 3-1/2 len 7th (56.0) Morning Captain 1200m E Farm 3yo Hcp dead trk Mar 31. Place looks best.

JACK’S BACK (K R Kemp) 3g By Greenwood Lake - Tee Hannah (7:2-1-0): Favourite for two wins on the Toowoomba Cushion track before closest at the finish with 2-3/4 len 5th (55.0) Boys On Tour 1300m E Farm 3yo Hcp heavy trk Mar 17, then ran wide during race and made some late ground for 1-1/2 len 4th (56.0) Morning Captain 1200m E Farm 3yo Hcp dead trk Mar 31. Well beaten only start here as a 2yo.

Place looks best.

Find this a lot tougher.

Race nine

FORETELLER (C J Waller) 5g By Dansili Prophecy (20:7-0-1): Came from last on the turn to win the G3 David Jones Cup at Caulfield then spelled after giving a good account of himself against some of Australia’s best WFA gallopers 4-3/4 len 5th (59.0) Glass Harmonium 2000m F’ton Mackinnon Stks dead trk Oct 29. Got well back and picked up ground over the concluding stages when resuming 5 len 12th (59.0) More Joyous 1300m R’hill Canterbury Stks dead trk Mar 24.

Did enough when resuming in the Canterbury Stakes three weeks ago. Has class on his side but he may need another run.

ALL SILENT (G M Begg) 8g By Belong To Me - Lisheenowen (32:8-0-2): Settled a long last in the small field but managed to pick up good ground late when resuming 4-3/4 len 4th (58.0) Ofcourseican 1300m W Farm L’pool City Cup dead trk Mar 10. Given time to balance up again but only passed a couple 7 len 9th (59.0) Niagara 1500m R’hill Ajax Stakes Mar 31. Very good when right but his last win was in the G1 Patinack Farm Classic in 2009.

Looking to others.

ILLO (J B Cummings) 6h By Tertullian - Iora (19:5-4-3): Went keenly in front and folded up in the straight 10-1/4 len last (59.0) Manighar 2000m F’ton Australian Cup Mar 10. Took up a forward position and battled away soundly 3-1/4 len 7th (59.0) Manighar 2000m R’hill Ranvet Stks dead trk Mar 24. Freshened.

German import who wasn’t disgraced in the Ranvet Stakes three weeks ago. Capable of running a cheeky race here if he can get some cover from the wide draw.

THE VERMINATOR (C J Waller) 5g By Jeune Fraar Side (26:7-6-3): Won The Metropolitan impressively here then sent to Melbourne and was always well back 14 len 11th (59.0) Glass Harmonium 2000m F’ton Mackinnon Stks dead trk Oct 29. Balanced up midfield and held ground to the line when 8 len 13th (52.0) Dunaden 3200m F’ton Melbourne Cup Nov 1. Will take improvement out of 5th Calvo 1030m R’hill barrier trial April 2. First-up.

Capable of running a cheeky race when fresh and he has won all three starts on this trip.

One for the multiples.

IRONSTEIN (G A Ryan) 6g By Zabeel - Gentle Genius (35:8-1-7): Sent to the paddock on a high when powering home from midfield to score runaway 2-1/4 len win (54.0) Shootoff, Paddy O’Reilly 2600m F’ton Qu Elizabeth Nov 5. Run off his legs when resuming in 11-3/4 len last (57.0) Niagara 1500m R’hill Ajax Stakes Mar 31. Didn’t fire a shot when resuming at Rosehill a fortnight ago. Had trialled well prior and he boasts impressive second-up stats.

Look for big improvement.

ABSOLUTELY (M C Kent) 4m By Redoute’s Choice - Catshaan (12:1-3-2): Tipped out after being well held in 6-1/4 len 11th (54.0) Southern Speed 2400m C’field Caulfield Cup Oct 15. Positioned midfield and found the line well along the inside when resuming 3-3/4 len 5th (56.0) Niagara 1500m R’hill Ajax Stakes Mar 31. Only win came in the AJC Oaks this time last year. Her first-up run suggests she is getting back to form but the outside gate will make things tough.

GATHERING (John Thompson) 5g By Tale Of The Cat - Celebria (26:4-3-3): Well held when resuming in the Apollo Stakes then ridden for speed but couldn’t finish off 11-1/4 len 7th (59.0) Shoot Out 1600m W Farm Chipping Norton dead trk Mar 10. Weakened out of the box-seat to finish well down the track 8-3/4 len 13th (57.5) Niagara 1500m R’hill Ajax Stakes Mar 31. Is a G1 winner but he has been well below his best this time in. Waiting for improvement.

LARRY’S NEVER LATE (J T Conlan) 6g By Pentire - Laebeel (32:7-2-4): Sent to the paddock after poor 7 len 12th (58.0) Carnero 1600m M Valley Open Hcp dead trk Sept 10.

Sat back and closed in late when resuming 4-1/2 len 4th (57.5) Outlandish Lad 1200m M Valley Premium Hcp slow trk Mar 16.

Freshened. Turned in an encouraging first-up run at Moonee Valley last start but he normally races flat second-up. Need to see this run.

RASPBERRIES (Peter Snowden) 4m By Lonhro - La Melba (16:6-4-1): Strode along in front and dashed way once asked to record easy 2-1/4 len win (57.5) Biancon Rose, Booklet 1400m F’ton Pfd Food Serv slow trk Mar 3. Galloped on when working home from midfield to finish hd, 3 len 3rd (57.0) Spirit Song, Lady Lynette 1600m M Valley Sunline Stakes Mar 23. Won brilliantly when resuming at Flemington then had things go against last start. Can show her best here.

FAST CLIP (Ms G Waterhouse) 4g By Snippetson - Hint Of Glory (17:5-4-2): Enjoyed all the favours in the run but found a couple too strong 2-3/4 len, lg hd 3rd (54.0) Ofcourseican, Somepin Anypin 1300m W Farm L’pool City Cup dead trk Mar 10. Sat wide outside the pace and stuck on soundly 5-1/2 len 6th (55.0) Niagara 1500m R’hill Ajax Stakes Mar 31. Fought on well after covering ground on the speed at Rosehill a fortnight ago. Should give this a shake with some luck from the awkward draw.

SHANNARA (Peter Snowden) 5m By Octagonal - Shadea (17:4-5-2): Put away after motoring home from the back to record runaway 2-1/2 len win (53.5) Title, Firebolt 1300m Hawkesbury Skinfitness Cup Nov 3.

Got back after missing the kick and closed in late when resuming 1-3/4 len 7th (56.0) He’s Remarkable 1400m Newcastle Newmarket Hcp Mar 21. Full-sister to Lonhro who has her fair share of talent. Ran well when resuming in the Newcastle Newmarket last start considering she isn’t a noted first-up performer. Hard to hold out here.

SPEEDINESS (Colin Scott) 4g By Testa Rossa - Fine Glass (11:4-2-2): Made up good ground through the field to finish behind the placegetters 3-1/4 len 4th (55.0) Green Moon 1600m F’ton Blamey Stakes dead trk Mar 10. Settled worse than midfield and only battled to the line 5-3/4 len 7th (53.0) Niagara 1500m R’hill Ajax Stakes Mar 31. Victorian who was well below his best in the Ajax Stakes last start.

Prior form in Melbourne was very good. Worth another go.

LODGE THE DEEDS (Ms G Markwell) 9g By Grand Lodge - Admit Anywhere (37:7-6-3): Given a break after being always midfield in 6-3/4 len 8th (53.5) Galizani 2400m R’wick Tatt’s Club Cup dead trk Oct 15. Found the 1300m too short when resuming in 6-1/2 len 10th (57.0) Miss Keepsake 1300m Kembla Grange A J Lillye Mem Mar 25. Veteran who should find these too sharp over 1600m.

ALMA’S FURY (Paul Murray) 4g By Refuse To Bend - Dance Attendance (20:4-1-5): Never fully clear in 2-1/4 len 8th (55.5) He’s Remarkable 1400m Newcastle Newmarket Hcp Mar 21. Landed in a lovely spot behind the speed and hit the line strongly 3-1/2 len, hd 3rd (53.0) Niagara, Star Of Octagonal 1500m R’hill Ajax Stakes Mar 31. Must be respect.

HAPPY TRAILS (Paul Beshara) 4g By Good Journey - Madame Flurry (21:2-5-5): Made up good ground from the second half of the field to finish in the money sht nk, len 3rd (55.5) Dance With Her, Testascana 1600m Bendigo (Metro) Golden Mile dead trk Mar 17.

Got well back and hit the line powerfully again 3-3/4 len 4th (53.0) Niagara 1500m R’hill Ajax Stakes Mar 31. Each way appeal.

LEGSMAN (J A O’Shea) 6g By Pins - Snobbish (30:5-7-9): Used up to take up the running and went down fighting 3/4 len, nk 3rd (54.5) Straight Albert, Wazn 2100m Gosford Gosford Cup Jan 12. Set a genuine tempo up front and was only reeled in late 3/4 len, lg hd 3rd (54.5) Wazn, Yulalona 2400m W Farm Aust Day Cup heavy trk Jan 26. Will take improvement out of 5th Nico Moochi 1050m R’wick barrier trial dead trk Mar 26. First-up. Tough stayer.

Lost form at four starts after win Gold Coast 1200m Listed race in May. Unplaced only four tries here but more than capable on his day and must be considered first up.

EXCELLANTES (R L Heathcote) 4g By Falvelon - Cantantes (16:5-6-1): Always prominent and not that far from the placegetters when 1-3/4 len 6th (53.0) My Destiny 1350m D’ben Lough Neagh Stk slow trk Dec 24, then sent for a break after just off the pace into the straight and held on fairly for 3-1/4 len 9th (54.0) Spirit Of Boom 1400m Gold Coast (Metro) Magic Mil. Cup Jan 14. Sharpened up with 2-3/4 len win Listen Son, Crystal Doll 820m D’ben barrier trial dead trk April 3. Placed three of six since win here 1110m 3yo in July. Worth some thought.

Moderate mixed record since win here 1350m F&M Mdn Nov. 2010. Among the chances.

WITHDRU (P Duff) 3f By Sequalo - The Druidess (9:2-0-0): Always well back in a small field for a dismal 10-1/2 len 4th (54.0) Two Times A Lady 1500m E Farm F&M (Bm75) heavy trk Mar 7, then showed little to excite when ran wide during race and beat only one home in 17-3/4 len 9th (54.0) Kumali 1350m D’ben F&M Rst0 heavy trk Mar 24. Looking to others.

SAHARA SHAMAL (T J Sears) 5m By Dehere - Desert Lark (11:2-0-0): Sent for a decent break after came from last on the turn for 1-1/2 len win (55.5) Yveline, Currawee Lass 1200m Toowoomba Cushion F&M C1 Aug 13.

Forgive wet track failure last time.

Previous form handy.

Handy type on his day but quite a while since he won one. Has some claims.

Place looks best.

BLUE JUPITER (L F Birchley) 7g By Shot Of Thunder - Angel Of Harlem (42:6-4-6): Freshened but had little support and never likely in 8-3/4 len 12th (59.0) Paris Blu 1200m D’ben Plate C6 dead trk Mar 10, then ran past a few late but a long way from the winner with 6-1/4 len 4th (52.0) Norocos 1110m D’ben C6 heavy trk Mar 24. Better for three runs back from a break. Look for improvement.

FELONY FLIGHT (T J Sears) 5m By Falvelon - Final Answer (25:5-3-3): Had good support and handy early but disappointed late with a fading 11-3/4 len last (54.0) Stop Lying 1100m Toowoomba Cushion (Bm80) Mar 17, then rider charged with careless riding after always prominent in nk 2nd (54.0) Symposium 1300m E Farm (Bm85) dead trk Mar 31. Mixed form in five starts since win here 1350m F&M C6 in August. Forward showing would not surprise.

VAARWEL (A J Edmonds) 5g By Flying Spur Presina (15:3-1-1): Had five months off before favourite when resumed for easy 4-1/4 len win (58.0) Twenty Two Red, Sunsets On Fire 900m Gold Coast C1 Feb 18, then freshened before led throughout for lg hd win (54.5) Dr Barnard, Snippets Secret 1000m E Farm Rst0 dead trk Mar 31.

Had widest draw (14) again when resumed and far from disgraced when came from last early for 3-1/4 len 6th (59.0) Morning Captain 1200m E Farm 3yo Hcp dead trk Mar 31. Better for that outing.

GUIDE

Doomben comment continued GIRLS GO RACING (G D Hickman) 5m

By Marechal - Puppet Strings (33:8-4-4): Freshened before settled back after slowly away but ran on strongly for 2 len win (54.0) Vilakazi Street, Gold Moss 1000m Canberra Camarena Hcp dead trk Mar 11, then favourite but ran wide during race and just off the pace throughout for 4-1/4 len 4th (52.0) G’day Old Mate 1000m E Farm Open Hcp dead trk Mar 31. First start here.

Rarely far away but place looks best.

FANGLES (S C Jones) 7g By Falvelon Speranto (69:11-6-10): Worked forward early from wide draw (12) but struggled late in 8-1/4 len 9th (58.5) River Lad 1200m E Farm (Bm85) heavy trk Mar 3, then backed up a week later and similar result for 2-3/4 len 8th (53.5) Mystical Grey 1350m D’ben Open Hcp dead trk Mar 10. Freshened up this time. Has won five races here but hasn’t won below 1350m. Place looks best.

WHAT HAPPENEDHENRY (K M Schweida) 5g By Fastnet Rock - Supernal (27:8-3-4): A long way fro the winner when 5-1/4 len, lg nk 3rd (54.0) Tierqualo, Purettan 1200m Gold Coast Gold Coast Stks heavy trk Mar 17, then settled back from a wide draw (13) and made a little ground for 5-1/4 len 5th (54.5) Miss Imagica 1200m Toowoomba Cushion Weetwood Hcp Mar 29. Hard to recommend.

MONDEAN (R L Heathcote) 5g By Monashee Mountain - Vianne (28:7-6-3): Freshened before led for a long way in 1-3/4 len, len 3rd (54.0) Border Rebel, Haizum 1000m E Farm Open Hcp heavy trk Mar 17, but woeful effort last time when led a Listed race early but faded badly for 15-3/4 len 13th (54.5) Miss Imagica 1200m Toowoomba Cushion Weetwood Hcp Mar 29. Has his share of pace but class here should test.

SILVERN (Jason McLachlan) 6g By Lujain Seto Chiffon (44:10-4-4): Sent for a break after never got warm and beat only one home in 8 len 8th (54.0) Work The Room 1200m E Farm (Bm90) Nov 12. Not much support when resumed and only plodded on in tough going for 3-3/4 len 5th (54.0) Haizum 1000m E Farm Open Hcp heavy trk Mar 3. Placed one of eight here. Looks well held.

Race eight KING OF THE KONGO (S P Ryan) 8g By Lion Hunter - Princess Academy (43:9-10-4): Resumed with a poor 11th at E Farm before came from a wide draw (12) for a dismal 8-3/4 len 10th (54.0) Miss Imagica 1200m Toowoomba Cushion Weetwood Hcp Mar 29, then beat only one home when settled well back and blocked for run in 4-1/2 len 12th (58.0) Bianca Jewel 1400m E Farm (Bm80) April 7. Placed two of seven here. Slight improvement last time. Rough prospects.

STOP LYING (T J Sears) 6g By Zaha - Royal Covet (29:9-1-3): Led throughout in a field of six for easy 2-3/4 len win (58.0) Double Rise, Primed 1300m Toowoomba Cushion (Bm75) Feb 18, then freshened before led again for len win (56.0) G’day Old Mate, Ponzi Scheme 1100m Toowoomba Cushion (Bm80) Mar 17.

Has three wins from last five at Toowomba but unplaced three tries here. Place looks best.

EMMERTT (C Smith) 5g By E Dubai - To And Fro (22:8-4-2): Won three in a row at Rockhampton before eight months off.

Moderate effort when resumed for 2-1/2 len 4th (58.0) Outcrop 800m Dalby Open Hcp Mar 10, then too good for a weak lot with an easy 3-1/2 len win (59.5) Agent Blue, Dancefloor Prodigy 1200m Roma Open Hcp Mar 24. Clearly his toughest test to date but does have a good strike rate. Not hopeless.

OAK STREET (B R Guy) 4g By Commands Restless Dream (7:4-2-0): Freshened before always prominent for hd 2nd (54.5) Karanja 1200m E Farm Rst0 heavy trk Mar 17, then favourite but jumped awkwardly from a wide draw (13) and held on well after working early in a close up lg hd 2nd (56.0) Theft 1200m E Farm Plate C6 April 7. Showed plenty of promise last time in work and solid enough at two runs back from a break. Should be prominent.

BY CHOICE (T J Gollan) 4g By Choisir - Flax (18:5-3-1): Had some support but got well back early and ran past most of them late for a fair 2-3/4 len 5th (56.5) Snip ‘n’ Duck 1350m D’ben Rst0 dead trk Mar 10, then rider lost whip but worked to the front on the turn and came away for a smart 2-3/4 len win (58.0) Grain Trader, Blow A Kiss 1300m Toowoomba Cushion (Bm75) Mar 29. Tougher this time but placed two of three here. Worth some thought.

RATTLE ‘N’ RUN (R T Hay) 6g By Monashee Mountain - Tiger Magic (61:9-10-8): Not much support and a fair way from the winner when 5-1/4 len 4th (56.5) Emmertt 1200m Roma Open Hcp Mar 24, then outclassed a weak lot with 5 len win (57.0) Hidden Assets, Bolton Abbey 1400m Injune Injune Cup Mar 31.

Consistent in weak fields but placed only one of four here. Place looks best again.

FRETON (T D Hall) 5g By Markane - Florinal (32:5-8-7): Second up from five months off when ran wide during race but never threatened with 6-3/4 len 10th (55.5) Lucky Songs 1400m E Farm C6 heavy trk Mar 17, then again settled back from a wide draw (11) and made some late ground for lg nk, 1-3/4 len 3rd (55.5) Kalkie Kane, Choral 1350m D’ben C5 April 4.

Placed three of seven since a couple of wins at Sunshine Coast mid 2011. Placed two of four here. Has some claims.

SHOW ME AN ACE (L D Kelly) 4g By Show A Heart - Dodge’s Dream (12:4-4-0): Resumed with a handy 2nd Gold Coast 1200m C3 before came from wide draw (12) and trapped wide during race and never threatened with 12-1/4 len 11th (55.0) Trombone Alley 1350m D’ben E&G Rst0 heavy trk Mar 24, then rider told to use more care after hot favourite and on the pace throughout for sht nk win (57.0) Vortex, Tragedy 1400m Gold Coast Plate C3 April 7.

Smart effort last time but unplaced two tries here. Among the chances.

SIDE TO SIDE (B S Baldwin) 6g By Easy Rocking - Great Force (24:5-2-4): Sent for a decent break after worked forward from wide draw (11) but caught wide during race and faded for 9 len 13th (52.5) River Lad 1600m E Farm Rst0 dead trk Sept 3. Third placing from five starts this course when resumed and came from midfield on the turn for hd 2nd (57.0) Trombone Alley 1350m D’ben E&G Rst0 heavy trk Mar 24. Placed three of nine since win E Farm 1500m C4 Feb. 2011. Keep safe.

INVINCIBLE MATE (Jason McLachlan) 4g By Invincible Spirit - Miss Bombay (19:4-3-4): Always handy for win here 1110m E&G C4 before settled well back after slowly away and checked near 600m before making a little ground in 3-1/4 len 7th (58.0) Rioqualo 1040m D’ben C4 dead trk Feb 29, then freshened and came from wide draw (13) when handy throughout and held on well for lg hd, 1/2 hd 3rd (54.5) Vaarwel, Dr Barnard 1000m E Farm Rst0 dead trk Mar 31. Game effort last time and has won three of five here. Must be respected on that record.

MORE ON THE TOE (Jason McLachlan) 7g

By More Than Ready - En Bateau (52:6-3-2): Ran into it on the turn and fought on well for win E Farm 1846m C5 before doing best work late but blocked for run in a close up 1-1/2 len 5th (54.5) Lovingthelimelight 2020m D’ben Rst0 July 30, then sent for a decent break after slowly away and ran past a few late for 3-1/4 len 6th (54.5) Achievements 1500m E Farm Plate C6 Aug 17. Prefers it further but has won two of six first up. Worth some thought.

BRIBIE (R L Heathcote) 4g By Show A Heart Wabble (10:3-2-1): Had four months off before favourite when resumed but got back early and ran on only fairly for 3-1/2 len 8th (58.0) Altai Warrior 1200m D’ben E&G C3 dead trk Feb 29, then freshened before favourite again and struck interference near 1000m but ran on from midfield to score sht 1/2 hd win (56.5) St Darci, Finn Class 1200m D’ben C3 April 4. Has two wins and a second from five starts here.

Must be considered.

CHORAL (M A Kropp) 6g By Lonhro - Vocalist (24:4-6-6): Handy wins on the cushion tracks at Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba before favourite but just missed with sht 1/2 hd, lg hd 3rd (55.0) Playful Paris, Prince Of Monaco 1000m Roma Plate C6 Mar 24, then only start here sat just off the pace into the straight and fought on well for lg nk 2nd (51.0) Kalkie Kane 1350m D’ben C5 April 4. Rarely far away.

Don’t discard.

GET THAT INDYA (S A Mackinnon) 5g By Storm Of Indya - Silver Bells (30:6-5-4): Sent for a Vet examination after favourite but always near the tail in a field of seven for 3-1/4 len 6th (56.5) Johnnieontherocks 1400m Sunshine Coast Cushi (Bm80) Mar 18, then showed little to recommend when never better than midfield in 5-3/4 len 6th (58.0) Explore The World 1200m Sunshine Coast (Bm80) heavy trk April 1. Place looks best.

KISS ME DEADLY (R G Lipp) 4g By Snippetson - Kililing (27:4-7-3): Freshened before favourite but never better than midfield in 3-1/4 len 9th (55.5) Okane 1600m E Farm Rst0 dead trk Mar 3, then settled back in a small field and ran home fairly for 1/2 nk, 3/4 len 3rd (53.0) Ruapehu Boy, Raise Up 1200m D’ben C5 slow trk Mar 28. Placed two of six here.

Rough claims.

ZEDITAVE PLUS (P J Facoory) 5g By Zeditave - Plus (31:5-0-7): Won three in a row on the Toowoomba Cushion track before freshened and first placing in three starts here when always prominent in 1-1/4 len, hd 3rd (54.0) Snip ‘n’ Duck, Bingo Rose 1350m D’ben Rst0 dead trk Mar 10, but only plodded on fairly last time for 4-1/4 len 4th (56.0) By Choice 1300m Toowoomba Cushion (Bm75) Mar 29. Prefer in something easier.

SYMBIOTIC (T W McCarthy) 6g By Show A Heart - Let’s Kiss (12:3-1-0): Always prominent in a small field for 1-1/4 len win (56.0) Vacallo, Silent Ninja 1200m Gold Coast E&G C1 heavy trk Mar 17, then got back early and blocked for run but showed plenty of heart to come again for 3/4 len win (57.5) Abdicated, Tisani Star 1200m Ipswich Plate C3 dead trk Mar 30.

Tougher this time but game effort at Ipswich.

Chance at odds.

Celebrity News ’ KIM’S marriage was doomed’: sister Khloe

Johansson says she married too young LOS ANGELES, CM Scarlett Johansson admits she married “way too young”.

The 27-year-old actress married Ryan Reynolds in late 2008 after dating for around 12 months. Just two years later they announced they were separating before finalising their divorce in 2011.

Johansson now believes she rushed into the nuptials too soon.

“Weddings are hard work.

I married way too young, I wasn’t ready,” she told the French edition of Elle.

“You open your arms to someone you love and

promise to share everything with him, it’s frightening.”

However the Girl with a Pearl Earring star has no regrets. She blames the breakup on her and Reynolds spending too much time apart while they were working on movies.

“We have lived two unbelievable years. They were as quick as a flash. But two actors together, it’s pure madness. Each is animated by the desire of success, the egos are too strong. Too many absences, silences.

It’s really difficult to build something.”

While the voluptuous actress seems to have her

choice of men, Johansson shrugs off any suggestion she is a sex symbol in Hollywood.

“It’s time for me to exit from this equation Scarlett Johansson = sex bomb!” she said.

“If that image sticks, it is not my fault, I never did anything for that. I came at a moment where young actresses with curves were rare. The trend was more towards skinny girls. As I seemed to feel good with my weight, people thought I was different. And they yelled, ‘Sex bomb’. I’m not 20 anymore, I need to move on.”

LOS ANGELES, WENN Khloe Kardashian warned her sister Kim that her marriage to basketball star Kris Humphries was doomed before the reality TV star exchanged vows with the New Jersey Nets player.

Khloe, who is married to former Los Angeles Lakers star Lamar Odom, admits she liked Humphries, but hated the idea of him and her sister as a couple.

In a taped interview with chat show host Ellen DeGeneres, which airs on US TV on Wednesday, Khloe says, “I like Kris as a person. I just did not like

them together ... I was the only one to tell her. I don’t know why no one else told her that.

“She got mad at me. I like being honest. You’ll get mad. You’ll get over it.

You’re my sister there is nothing you can do. You’re stuck with me.”

Khloe also tells DeGeneres she likes the idea of her sister dating family friend Kanye West, but refuses to confirm reports they are in a relationship.

“We’ve known Kanye forever. He’s been a great family friend. I love Kanye.

I don’t know what happens

ONE DIRECTION pleases

Aussie crowds

SYDNEY, AAP - They’ve impressed their Australian audiences by stripping off and jumping into Sydney Harbour on their first day in the country.

Now the media circus is rolling British boy

band One Direction from place to place with their first high-profile stop-off on Wednesday at the Nine Network’s Today Show, where a small audience of teenage girls hung on their every word and screamed any time there was a break in the conversation.

Despite the pressure Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson appeared relaxed and happy to be confronted with their fans.

Styles says despite the adulation being showered

with Kim. I love Kanye. I think they’re cute together,” she said.

“I like Kanye. I think Kim and Kanye have known each other for a long time.

I think that they’re good friends and they’re compatible. I think a friendship is where good relationships stem from.”

on them it’s quite easy to keep their feet on the ground.

“We all kind of keep each other grounded and we have a really good team around us and our families are really supportive,” he told the show.

After sharing details on who in the band is the best dancer (Styles), who their heroes are (Horan plumped for Michael Buble) and what their favourite dessert is (cookies and cream ice cream) there was time for a hug with one lucky girl before being whisked off to the rival Seven Network to appear on Sunrise before hosting the Kyle and Jackie O radio show.

Celebrity News Rolling Stones to go into studio: Wood

By Mesfin Fecadu

NEW YORK, AP - Ronnie Wood says the Rolling Stones will meet in a recording studio later this month “to just throw some ideas around”.

The guitarist for the legendary rock group said on Monday that he and the band just want “to get the feel again”.

He also added that the Rolling Stones 50th anniversary is like training for something big.

“It’s like working out for the Olympics or something,” Wood said. “You’ve got to go into training. So we’re going to go into training.”

Wood made the comments on Monday in an interview following a press confer-

ence for his exhibition, Faces, Time and Places, which features his own paintings. It includes pieces of him and his band mates, as well as Muhammad Ali and Al Pacino.

Wood, who said he first started painting at age three, enjoys doing it because it’s a reflection of his own ideas, unlike music, which he calls “a group effort”.

The exhibit launched on Monday and will close on June 30. Wood’s week will get busier when he is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday as a member of The Faces, along with Rod Stewart. It will be the second induction for the 64-year-old Wood.

The Rolling Stones were inducted in 1989. He’ll also

CAMERON DIAZ :

perform a solo show at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on April 21.

When asked what fans should expect, he said: “Lots of surprises because I’m going to surprise myself. I don’t know what the hell is coming next.

The whole set list is going to be made up. I’m making it up every day now.”

Wood says he would love go on a solo tour “if I had enough time, but I have too many commitments”.

He also talked about possibly recording another solo album.

“Lots of people don’t know I’ve made seven, ‘cause most of my albums escape; they’re not released,” he said, laughing.

“Keith (Richards) says they all skyrocket to oblivion.”

I don’t mind ageing LOS ANGELES, CM Cameron Diaz has no problem with ageing as she used to dream of being 40.

The Hollywood actress, who turns 40 in August, doesn’t understand why people worry about their advancing years.

“I would never be 25 years old again! I think it is silly to wish for that sort of thing.

I am not afraid about being 40. When I was 20, I wanted to be 30. When I was 30 I dreamed about being 40,” she told Vanity Fair Italy.

“I love ageing, because I like the experience that comes with age. Unfortunately our

society doesn’t value that kind of thing. I always loved people older than me. I loved my grandparents.”

Diaz is regularly asked how she manages to look so fit given her age, but says there is no magic secret to keeping in shape.

“I look younger than my age because I do exercise daily,” she said. “I have always been sporty, ever since I was 20. Fitness is part of my life.”

She does not exercise once in a while. “You must do it every day. I need to practice even when I’m travelling for a job.”

to be inducted into Hall GUNS’N ROSES

CLEVELAND, AP - Green Day will welcome fellow hard rockers Guns N’ Roses into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Rock Hall spokesman Todd Mesek said on Monday that Green Day members Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool will induct Guns N’ Roses at Saturday’s ceremony at Cleveland’s Public Hall.

Mesek says it’s not yet known if the original Guns N’ Roses line-up

will reunite and perform.

Mesek say he believes frontmanAxl Rose, guitarist Slash and other band members plan to attend.

The group split in 1996.

Guns N’ Roses stormed onto the music scene in the mid-1980s, awakening an industry then dominated by pop and dance music.

This year’s Hall of Fame class includes the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys, Donovan, Laura Nyro and The Small Faces/ The Faces.

Evoque the senses

By Haitham Razagui www.goauto.com.au

LAND ROVER says most sales of its new Range Rover Evoque will come from people who have never before owned one of its products and sees them switching from all sorts of other vehicle types, including sports cars – in addition to competing with traditional luxury SUV rivals like BMW’s X1 and X3 or the Audi Q5.

Driving among a fleet of Evoques through Sydney during the media launch, is was clear that in terms of styling the most petite Range Rover has moved the game on so far that all the other cars looked dated and somehow out of place in this futuristic, Evoque-inhabited world.

We sampled all three engine options available from launch, but only paired with the $2480 optional six-speed automatic transmission featuring paddle-shifters.

The three – each of which is quiet and refined – include 110kW/400Nm TD4 and 140kW/420Nm SD4 versions of the Freelander’s frugal 2.2litre turbo-diesel engine and the punchy 177kW/340Nm Si4 2.0-litre turbo-petrol that will soon power the Ford Falcon Ecoboost. Also experienced were each of the three trim levels – which all get their own unique external and internal styling themes – entry-level Pure, sporty Dynamic and luxurious Prestige. Like the bodywork, the Evoque’s cabin

looks great, even in the Pure and Dynamic specifications, where in place of the Prestige’s full leather trim on the dashboard and other interior surfaces is a classy textured and double-stitched material.

On most models the stylish seats adjust electrically, making it easy to find the correct driving position – helped by a large range of movement by the steering wheel. And they are comfortable enough for long journeys.

A downside of the standard seats is that, although well-bolstered, they appear to be designed for a large frame, so when tackling a twisty section of road, slimmer drivers will find themselves sliding around on the leather and frequently having to shuffle themselves back into position.

Before seeing the Evoque on the road, we thought it looked better in coupe format, which most closely replicates the LRX concept, but on the road the more

resolved design of the fivedoor won us over – and the more practical body style is expected to account for three-quarters of Evoque sales.

The coupe’s bias for style over ease of use and the fact that opting for this body style costs $1500 extra sealed the deal for us.

Getting into the coupe’s rear seats requires time, patience and agility due to a front seat design that involves a frustratingly slow two-stage operation to move it into a position whereby the rear quarters can be accessed. Even then the gap through which entry or exit is achieved remains small, with a high sill to be negotiated, so prepare for a drenching if loading rear passengers in the rain.

By contrast, entering the five-door’s rear quarters is a cinch, but legroom is still limited. There is less space than in a Volkswagen Golf.

Brownie points are regained by a boot that provides a medium sedan-sized

575 litres of capacity in the five-door and 550L in the coupe, with both variants providing 60:40 split-folding rear seats to provide further cargo space.

All the test vehicles were optioned up to the nines, so the $53,395 TD4 Pure we drove – representing the cheapest way into an Evoque until the front-drive variants arrive next July – ended up being valued at $70,155, even without on-road costs.

The TD4 Dynamic we tried was lavished with enough options to lift the cost from $68,895 to a lofty $94,284, while the $75,895 Si4 Prestige coupe driven weighed in at an eye-watering $98,759 – and that’s almost Range Rover Sport money.

We came to the conclusion that the Adaptive Dynamics pack, which uses computercontrolled suspension dampers that react instantly to terrain and driving conditions, improves the driving experience so much that it is well worth the $1950 and should be compulsory. Without the

Adaptive Dynamics pack, the Evoque’s ride is, to put it kindly, sporty.

It corners well for such a tall car, placing it among few SUVs that can truly be driven like a car on fun roads, but it tends to fidget over the numerous lumpy road surfaces too often encountered in Australia – and if you live in an area plagued with speed bumps, have the chiropractor on speed-dial.

Those optional computercontrolled dampers take the edge off the harsh ride, making for more comfortable progress. Sharper handling is available by selecting the Dynamic drive program mode that comes with the pack. This mode turns the bejewelled instruments, with their glass shard-style increments, an angry shade of red while firming up the steering, making the accelerator pedal more responsive and placing those clever dampers on high alert. Hit a set of fast bends with Dynamic mode selected and the Evoque finds a new level of confi-

dence, with reduced bodyroll and a resistance to being thrown off course by midcorner surface changes. It is a marvel that brings a smile to the face and shows the German luxury SUV alternatives a thing or two.

We found the transmission to be a little ponderous when left to its own devices on twisty roads, even in sport mode, getting the best out of the system by using the steering wheel-mounted paddles when making swift progress.Compared against the Land Rover Freelander, with which it shares some of its underpinnings, the Evoque has better ground clearance but less wheel travel and inferior approach and departure angles.

Land Rover has created a product that stands on its own in the marketplace, with few competitors in terms of size, price or level of luxury.

Behind that bold styling lies a competent vehicle with forgivable practicality compromises.

As a package, the Evoque is only spoiled by the quality issues we encountered, which we hope will get ironed out in time as the factory – accustomed to producing utilitarian Freelanders – gets used to building such a unique, luxurious vehicle.

Ferrari 599 successor

emerges as Prancing Horse’s fastest, most powerful road car

By Terry Martin

FERRARI’S fastest and most powerful road car ever – the F12 Berlinetta – has been revealed in all its glory ahead of its global premiere at the Geneva motor show next week and an Australian arrival early in 2013.

Emerging after years of speculation, months of spy photos and videos and, since last month, an official teaser campaign, the Prancing Horse’s 599 successor is said to usher in a new era of Ferrari 12-cylinder engine performance – in this case with a mid-front-mounted 730hp (544kW) 6.3-litre naturally aspirated V12 that develops its peak power at 8500rpm and can reach 100km/h from rest in just 3.1 seconds.

The Italian supercar marque also claims the F12 Berlinetta requires just 8.5 seconds to crack 200km/h, on its way to a maximum speed of “more than 340km/h”.

It also completes a lap of Ferrari’s Fiorano test circuit

in 1min23sec – faster than any other Ferrari road car before it, including the previous benchmark-setting 599 GTO which took a second longer to complete the lap.

While the engine is based on the same 6262cc directinjection 65-degree V12 found in the four-seater FF, the F12 Berlinetta – which prior to its unveiling was expected to carry the ‘620’ moniker – outguns both the FF and the previous 599 in more than mere horsepower, with maximum torque of 690Nm at 6000rpm, 80 per cent of which is available from 2500rpm and which provides “an unrelenting surge of acceleration” all the way to its 8700rpm redline.

In comparison, the FF develops 485kW/683Nm and the 599’s 6.0-litre V12 produced 456kW/607kW, with the GTO version upping the ante to 500kW/620Nm. Furthermore, the F12-rivalling $754,600 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 uses a 515kW/ 690Nm 6.2-litre 60-degree

V12 that drives all four wheels through a sevenspeed ISR (independent shifting rods) single-clutch automated gearbox and can hit 100km/h in an even quicker 2.9 seconds.

Ferrari can, however, claim a minor victory over Lamborghini on environmental grounds.

Turning up with rear-wheel drive and a closer-ratio version of the F1-style sevenspeed dual-clutch transmission, the F12 super-coupe boasts a 30 per cent reduction in fuel consumption compared with the 599, down to 15L/100km when fitted with “lightweight options” and the factory-fit HELE (High Emotion, Low Emissions) pack that combines an idlestop system with ‘intelligent’ controls for the engine fans, fuel pump and air-conditioning compressor.

CO2 emissions are likewise down, now at 350g/km, which Ferrari claims puts the vehicle “at the top of the high-performance league”.

The Aventador, meanwhile,

manages 17.2L/100km and 398g/km.

Ferrari says its efficiency improvements boil down to “engine, aerodynamics, tyres and weights”.

The F12’s dry weight has come in at 1525kg – down 70kg compared to the 599 – and its drag coefficient drops to 0.299Cd, with the evocative aero design resulting from collaboration between the Ferrari Styling Centre and Pininfarina.

Downforce has also been boosted by 76 per cent, now at 123kg at 200km/h.

These results stem from two new solutions that were honed in the 599XX ‘research and development’ car. The first is an ‘Aero Bridge’ which uses the bonnet to generate downforce by channelling air away from the upper part of the car to its flanks “where it interacts with the wake from the wheel wells to decrease drag”.

The second is ‘Active Brake Cooling’, which is a system that opens guide vanes to the brake cooling

ducts only at high operating temperatures, again reducing drag. Overall dimensions place the F12 shorter (at 4618mm long), narrower (and 1942mm wide) and lower (at 1273mm high) than its predecessor. A wheelbase length is still to be specified, although Ferrari has confirmed it is shorter than the 599’s 2750mm.

This combines with lower mounting of the engine, dash and seats in the chassis, together with a new layout for the rear suspension and gearbox, which essentially reduces the volume at the rear and achieves a more compact car overall with a lower centre of gravity that is further back in the chassis.

The weight distribution is now 46:54 front/rear, compared to 47:53 in the 599.

Ferrari says the F12 is built with an all-new spaceframe chassis and bodyshell that has 12 different kinds of alloys as well as new assembly and joining techniques. The result is a claimed 20 per cent increase in structural rigidity.

The F12 uses Ferrari’s latest generation carbon-ceramic brakes (CCM3) and an evolution of the magnetorheological suspension control system (SCM-E). It also has the full complement of electronic control systems such as E-Diff, ESP Premium, F1-Trac and high-performance ABS. Cabin highlights include full ‘Frau’ leather trim, new carbon-fibre and aluminium detailing and the adoption of Ferrari’s ‘Human Machine Interface’ driver control layout, while more luggage space has been built in behind the seats.

The order books open in Geneva next week, with first European deliveries commencing in the third quarter.

Right-hand drive production kicks off later in the year, with Australia and New Zealand receiving their first examples in the first quarter of 2013.

Local pricing and specifications will be announced closer to its arrival.

Kia a serious Top 10 player

By David Hassall

THE stars are aligning for Kia in Australia, where the Korean brand appears to have secured a desired permanent return to the Top 10 of the world’s most notoriously tough automotive market.

With a stable and attractive model line-up in place, Kia Motors Australia is planning for more than 30,000 sales this year – an increase of between 20 and 25 per cent over 2011 – and is right on track with a rise of 22.1 per cent in the first quarter.

Kia’s 30,000 would finally achieve the rather bullish goal set by former sales boss Bill Gillespie for 2008 – which came in the wake of a debilitating 17.9 per cent fall in 2006 following the replacement of local franchise-holder Ateco Automotive, who had pro-

gressively increased sales to 25,000 on the back of low driveaway pricing for the ubiquitous Rio light car.

Rather than the anticipated 50 per cent increase in two years, Kia lost further ground and at the end of 2008 replaced Mr Gillespie, who is now national sales manager at Peugeot Automobiles Australia. It might have ended differently if he stayed another year.

As well as taking over the Australian franchise middecade, Kia Motors also began a post-Asian meltdown rejuvenation under Hyundai ownership, renewing its entire model line-up, expanding production capability and hiring German design guru Peter Schreyer away from VW/Audi. Mr Schreyer not only set about modernising the Kia line-up, but immediately introduced

his now-famous ‘Tiger Nose’ that helped provide a distinct family look. Until then, no Kia model looked related to another.

By the time the Cerato small car, Rondo mid-size people-mover and Carnival large MPV are replaced next year, the whole Kia lineup will express the distinct and eye-catching Schreyer design language that has helped Kia set sales records

around the world (up 20.1, 26.5 and 18.6 per cent in the last three years alone).

That global growth has long inhibited Kia Australia because as the brand grew internationally, especially in core markets, production simply could not keep up with demand. It was hard to get cars Down Under, especially as right-hand drive was not a priority. Despite the shortages, Kia still sold 5.4 per cent more vehicles in a market that dropped 2.6 per cent last year – even though its top-selling Rio fell some 31.7 per cent due to the lack of the run-out model and the fact that the all-new model arrived only in five-door hatchback form before the vital three-door hatchback and four-door sedan were launched in February.

If nothing else, that put paid to the industry’s old ‘Rio Car Company’ jibes.

It also showed that Kia could rely on top performances from other models such as the venerable Carnival (steady at 3600 sales last year), Cerato (up 73 per cent to 6100), Sorento (up 24.5 per cent to 3600 after the new model was launched in late 2010) and even Sportage, which lifted 17.2 per cent to 3600 units despite the lack of diesels.

Carnival has long dominated the large people-mover segment and become the school-run bus of choice, taking more than one-third of the segment and outselling its nearest rivals two-to-one. But it is long overdue for a full redesign, even though it was modernised with a Tiger nose grille in 2010, and that new model will arrive next year.

Thais cycling Laos is â&#x20AC;&#x153;sanukâ&#x20AC;? in motion

By Mick Elmore

NORTHERN LAOS, DPA Seven hours and 90 kilometres into Laos and cyclists are nearing the top of the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third steep climb. The bicycles are crawling, but the riders are smiling as they finish the last tough grind of the day.

It started below 400 metres elevation on the Mekong River marking the Thai-Lao border, then followed a twolane bitumen strip to a school below a mountain. Then the three-dozen riders faced a 4km 400-metre-climb in the heat of the afternoon to over 1000m above sea level.

At the top Wa n c h a i P h u t t h a w a r i n from Chiang Rai, northern Thailand, greeted riders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;ViangPhuka is only an hour.

Easy riding,â&#x20AC;? he said waving his left hand at the road descending the last 30km

to our stop for the night, a big bottle of Beer Lao in his right.

Wanchai is one of the organisers and crew on the eight-day pedal from Thailand through northern Laos into southern China.

Good bicycles were a rarity even in the `90s, but now although still not common, it is no surprise when you do see one.

Cycling clubs and organised rides abound across the country, including Bangkokâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monthly car-free day, and a growing number of Thais have made long international rides, including a select few who have pedalled around the world.

A host of bicycle tour companies offer trips of various lengths and comfort in Thailand, too. The Tourism Authority of Thailand got involved in 2002, putting resources into organising

journeys through the region.

The cycling trips were called Mekong Challenges in past years and Eco Bike Tour in 2012. As with most things Thais do, cycling trips are about â&#x20AC;&#x153;sanukâ&#x20AC;?, which basically means to have fun, enjoy, but in a Thai way.

Wanchai and I have been here before. In 2008 we rode the same route. Then it was 35 cyclists from seven countries riding 600km through three countries in six days and speaking one common language every pedal of the way: bicycles. In 2009 in a similar international group we passed this way going the opposite direction.

This year included riders from a dozen of Thailandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 77 provinces, including Chiang Rai bordering Burma in the north and Narathiwat bordering Malaysia in the south. But I was the only foreigner. Thais are welcoming

people. They are delighted when a foreigner speaks reasonable Thai, but they take a perverse pleasure when you make mistakes. Sitting in a sidewalk restaurant in LuangNamtha, Laos, after the third day riding, an easy 67km with only one steep climb, I order a Beer Lao and five glasses for the assembled riders.

The waitress brings five big bottles and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s then Wanchai tells me that glass in Thai means bottle in Lao. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll drink them.â&#x20AC;?

After an hour the group had swelled to more than a dozen and the flimsy tables were overflowing with the detritus of a minor feast of spicy salads, skewers of many meats and bowls of piping hot soup.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s then that trip leader PajonJaikhla, also from Chiang Rai, says weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to go. Where, I ask. To dinner, he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dinner? What

The banquet with more good food, more Beer Lao, monks chanting and offering their blessings, speeches and traditional dancing with nearly everyone slowly twisting their bodies to Lao music and laughing in innocent fun.

Sanuk.

Laos do sanuk well. The landlocked country is one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poorest but the people are friendly and easy-going.

Sharing gatherings and celebrations of friendship are important and although their customs are not to be trifled with, they also match the Thais in â&#x20AC;&#x153;mai pen raiâ&#x20AC;?, which kind of means donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry, be happy.

The next morning we pointed our bicycles toward China and started pedalling.

Northpoint Retail Centre, Windmill Crossing info@tofsmackay.com.au

MUST MONDAY L H 30T APRI

For the first 7km a police motorcycle and countless local cyclists joined us. Thailand is one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top international tourist destinations, but Thais themselves still do not travel much, preferring their homeland.

However, as incomes grow, more are venturing further afield. Laos and southern China, where the food and language are similar to Thailand, are good starting points for many.

The annual cycling trips are not advertised but have become popular through a loose network of bicycling enthusiasts. And more groups are organising tours and short trips. In a country where bicycles were once a cheap mode of transportation, they are proving a worthwhile way to travel for the growing middle class.

In the kitchen Food’s a festival on the Sunshine Coast

By Denis Peters, AAP B

I you’re planning on visiting IF Q Queensland’s Sunshine Coast ssoon don’t forget to pack your sswimmers, surfboard, styliish grooving attire - but most iimportantly, your appetite.

From its humble incepttion nine years ago when jjust 100 committed foodies aattended, the Sunshine Coast IInternational Food and Wine Festival last year attracted e26,000 guests, lured to the -Queensland holiday, retiredment and pleasure coast by finternational chefs, cooking -classes, top-class entertainment and general `fun under lthe sun.’ The festival is the -annual high-point in celebrating food and good living on the coast, but a closer rexamination reveals why the n d o g

s e h d g n s e e y g

festival is in the right place and why it does so well.

The Noosa Farmers’ Market is a good place to start to sample the breadth and class of the local produce. There’s a burst of colour and size immediately obvious among the vegetables and fruit. Daniel Tabone, manning the Suncoast Limes stall, which sells lime cordial and lime salt products, says that at this time of the year, the region’s citrus trees are breaking branches with fruit.

Due to there being too many limes on the market, his business venture expanded.

His products now do good bAs well as operating her Life’s a Feast cooking school at Noosavilla, Gail Rast conducts tours of the

market and knows in detail what’s on offer. An escapee from Sydney corporate life, Gail says she wouldn’t live anywhere else and loves the coast’s food.

“I think it’s got a lot to do with the abundance,” she says.

The trees are overladen with produce in the orchard as we enter Martin Duncan’s scenic Freestyle Escape outdoor kitchen on the slopes of Towen Mountain, where the good-food entrepreneur, conducts cooking classes.

There I join a class with celebrity chef Dominique Rizzo, best known from TV’s Ready, Steady, Cook and her love of cooking from her ancestral Sicily.

In Noosa, the serious foodie should not miss the sump-

tuous upper level restaurant Berardo’s. I sample that prince of Queensland fish, the coral trout. But I think I will remember it most for a tiny treat handed on by the waiter, a taste explosion of crushed icy Bundaberg ginger beer, Bundy rum, cane juice, fresh lime and lemon zest.

At this point of my tour, my tastebuds are tingling with joy and it’s being an amazing gastronomical journey through this picturesque corner of Queensland.

The festival runs from May 17 to 20, featuring dozens of famous international and Australian chefs and top acts such as Jane Rutter, Sneaky Sound System and Anthony Calea. But I get the feeling the Sunshine Coast is a food festival all year round.

Global Burgers owner thinks locally

MACKAY restaurant Global Burgers has become one of the city’s newest hotspots for locals before they head out for a night on the town.

The classy burger bar has brought a new concept of dining to Mackay and the locals love it, says Global Burgers owner Luke McGrath.

“What we are finding is that Friday nights are increasingly popular with people looking for a place to eat and drink before they hit the clubs,” Mr McGrath said.

“A quality burger matched with quality beer. What more could you want?”

Mr McGrath bought Global Burgers a year ago and he

Top 3 Burgers:

immediately made changes to the business, incorporating a bar into the restaurant.

Global Burgers provide a unique experience and have designed burgers that have taken the best representative flavours and textures from international cultures.

The store only uses fresh ingredients from local sources. The burgers are from local butchers, and the buns are baked daily by a local baker.

“One thing Global Burgers ensures is that it is both environmentally and locally sustainable,” Mr McGrath said.

“I want to put back into the Mackay economy.”

The introduction of Global Burgers to Mackay

has brought about a unique dining experience. The store is a city concept that has been brought to a regional area. With each unique burger, also comes the opportunity to have a beer that comes from the same part of the world. The bar has over 40 beers from around the globe.

With the recent success and popularity the business is also expanding, with restaurants opening up in Townsville, Gladstone, Rockhampton, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast. All of the restaurants will match what the Mackay Restaurant does, meaning it will only use local butchers and bakers in these respective areas.

Rise of 24-hour fitness in Mackay Shift work in Mackay is driving up demand for gyms where you can flex your muscles anytime of the day with fitness chains offering more 24-hour facilities

By Dean Faithfull

THE latest trend in fitness continues to take Mackay by storm as both City Fitness and Snap Fitness open up new 24-hour gyms.

City Fitness has had a gym in Mackay for the last 30 years and has just opened another one at the Mount Pleasant Shopping Centre.

Snap Fitness is planning on expanding to Moranbah and Ooralea, a move which will result in a total of three Snap Fit gyms in the Mackay region.

City Fitness lifestyle director Chris Evangelou said there was a growing necessity for 24-hour gyms in Mackay, especially with people’s work timetables.

“A lot of people in Mackay work shifts, so they do not have set times when they can go to the gym,” Ms Evangelous said.

“Doctors, nurses and even mums can find it difficult to find time in the gym. A 24-hour gym

gives them the freedom to choose when to go.”

The concept of the 24-hour gym has grown into a phenomenon over the past four years or so.

Snap Fitness has over 50 gyms in Australia and also has gyms in America, Canada, India and New Zealand.

“Mackay is an expanding city, so we have to meet the demands of this expansion,” Ms Roberts explained.

“With the amount of shift work happening here these days, the 24-hour gym just makes sense.”

City Fitness lifestyle director Chris Evangelou takes some time out from her 24-7 gym.

Chris Evangelou City Fitness lifestyle Director

“A lot of people in Mackay work shifts, so they do not have set times when they can go to the gym.”

Part of this growing phenomenon is due to the high demand of this type of gym. Snap Fitness manager Samantha Roberts said Mackay was becoming a region that demanded these services as the 9am to 5pm timeframe was no longer valid.

New guidelines allow local firms to tender for lucrative contracts

MELBOURNE: New rules making it easier for Australian firms to tender for contracts offered by resource and construction companies will help share the benefits of the mining boom, the federal government says.

Under the rules to come into effect in July, project proponents receiving more than $20 million in Commonwealth funding will have to provide Australian firms the opportunity to bid for contracts and submit an Australian Industry Participation Plan.

Resource projects valued at more than $2 billion will be required to produce AIP plans that include reporting to the federal government about how Australian businesses are being given opportunities to participate.

Industry Minister Greg Combet said stronger Australian industry participation rules were an effort to help spread the benefits of the resources boom to industries such as steel and other parts of the manufacturing industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Businesses are going to have to be competitive to be successful but they will have access to market information in a way that previously ... they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had access to,â&#x20AC;? he told reporters on Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an endeavour by the Commonwealth to ensure that Australian businesses get a fair go.â&#x20AC;?

Ten feels strain of tough ad market SYDNEY: Ten Network Holdings has reported a sharp plunge in first-half net profit that came in below market expectations amid tough advertising markets.

The television broadcaster said net profit for the six months to February 29, 2012, fell 70.1 per cent to $14.8 million, compared with the prior corresponding period.

The result was well below market consensus of $22.6 million, according to a median of six analystsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; forecasts gathered by AAP. Revenue fell 10.9 per cent to $432.7 million, Ten said.

Ten chief executive James Warburton said the half-year result reflected the tough conditions in advertising markets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Advertising markets were soft, particularly in late 2011 and early 2012,â&#x20AC;?

Mr Warburton said.

Delivering his first set of results since taking over as chief executive on January 1, Mr Warburton said Ten was making progress on improving sagging ratings and lifting advertising revenue.

However, the full benefits of the turnaround would take some time to filter through to results.

Mr Warburton also flagged more investment in buying new programs.

While Ten provided no specific earnings guidance for the full fiscal year, it expected advertising markets to be less volatile in the coming months. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; AAP

Telstra challenges over land leases BRISBANE: Telstra is taking the Queensland government to court for allegedly overcharging the telco on leases of land for its equipment.

A Telstra spokeswoman this week confirmed the company was seeking a ruling from the Federal Court on whether a regulation relating to the leasing of crown land was discriminatory and therefore invalid.

She said Telstra leased about 500 sites from the state government through the former Department

of Environment and Resource Management to house telecommunications equipment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rental which DERM now charges telecommunications carri-

ers for land used for communications sites is significantly higher than rent charged to other crown land users for other comparable sites,â&#x20AC;? the spokeswoman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is because the new regulation uses one methodology to calculate the rent for communication sites and another methodology to calculate rent for other comparable categories of site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Telstra believes that this is discriminatory towards telcos.â&#x20AC;?

She said Telstra believed the

regulation was therefore prohibited by clause 44 of Schedule 3 of the Telecommunications Act 1997. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Telstra has been in discussion with DERM for over two years about the methodology used to calculate rent on communication sites ... but has been unable to reach agreement.â&#x20AC;?

The new Liberal National Party government has dismantled DERM, which is now known as the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; AAP

Business NEWS Housing sector needs rate cut â&#x20AC;&#x201C; economists SYDNEY: The prospect of an interest rate cut in May has firmed after official figures suggested a further slowing in the housing sector.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics reported this week the number of home loans approved in February fell 2.5 per cent.

The drop followed a 1.2 per cent fall in January, which RBC Capital Markets senior economist Su-Ling Ong said showed the interest rate cuts late in 2011 had only a limited effect on the housing sector. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rate cuts to date appear to have had only a modest impact, suggesting that overall lending rates remain too high,â&#x20AC;? Ms Ong said.

The Reserve Bank of Australia cut its cash rate by 25 basis points each in November and December to bring it to its current level of 4.25 per cent.

Westpac senior economist Andrew Hanlan said the weak home loan figure for February was due largely to a 9.4 per cent drop in home loan approvals in New South Wales and a 1.1 per cent fall in Queensland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The state data suggests that the picture is not as weak as the headline suggests,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the other states, you are seeing modest gains but they are certainly small increases.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; AAP SLOW SALE: Economists say fewer people are applying for home loans.

NAB keen on business lending SYDNEY: National Australia Bank insists itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keen to lend to small businesses despite complaints from the sector about accessing capital.

NAB business banking group executive Joseph Healy said about $15 billion, or a quarter of all domestic business loans, were written by NAB, but there were no plans for to a return to pre-GFC fast and loose lending. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Banks are keen to lend, in fact in the business banking market much more so today than at any time for the last two years, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re much more responsible in how they lend and who they lend to,â&#x20AC;? Mr Healy told a business lunch in Sydney this week.

A cautious approach was in the best interest of the big four banks and small business borrowers, he said.

Many small to medium size businesses had encountered difficulties obtaining finance over the past four years. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; AAP

Pressure grows on RBA to slash rate Business, unions demand reduction amid strain of high Aussie dollar

CANBERRA: Pressure is growing on the Reserve Bank of Australia to cut the official cash rate, with business and unions calling for a reduction to offset the pain of a high Australian dollar.

The central bank has already indicated a rate cut may be on the cards should key inflation data on April 24 show tame price pressures.

The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry says the RBA should substantially ease monetary policy in an effort to arrest declining competitiveness and break through the barrier of low business and consumer confidence.

Such action is needed before new taxes and costs hit business and consumers in July. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The time has come for Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s central bank to move decisively to

Paul Howes

cut rates by a full half a per cent and for the retail banks to immediately pass it on,â&#x20AC;? the chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief executive Peter Anderson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A quarter of a per cent cut would not be enough to do what is required.â&#x20AC;?

The RBA cut the cash rate in November and December last year but retail banks independently increased their lending

rates in February due to their increased funding costs. Australian Workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Union national secretary Paul Howes said manufacturers were suffering under the weight of a high dollar and interest rates.

While Mr Howes supports the RBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s independence, he says its charter needs to be urgently reviewed as it needs to take a more active approach to the currency.

He explained that when the local unit was floated in 1983, all the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major currencies were traded freely on the open market.

The Chinese yuan, which wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a major currency when the Australian dollar was floated, is not traded freely today and is â&#x20AC;&#x153;criminally undervaluedâ&#x20AC;? by the Chinese government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is something that

we have to take into consideration when we are fixing Australian monetary policy,â&#x20AC;? Mr Howes said.

But federal Finance Minister Penny Wong ruled out any government intervention on interest rate decisions or the dollar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The settings that have served Australia well, including through this investment boom, include the independence of the Reserve Bank in setting interest rates and the floating dollar,â&#x20AC;? she told ABC Radio.

Mr Howes disagrees, saying the RBA has consistently made the wrong call on monetary policy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For some bizarre reason in this country, it seems like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s religious heresy to criticise the decisions of the RBA,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; AAP

Health Entertainment Fat link to autism

By Michelle Henderson AAP

OBESE mothers are more likely to have children with developmental disorders including autism, a new international study shows.

Researchers found that obese mothers were 67 per cent more likely to have a child with autism than normal weight mothers without diabetes or hypertension.

The study, of about 1000 children aged between two and five, also found that mums with diabetes were nearly 67 per cent more likely to have a child with developmental disorders than healthy mothers.

“Our finding that these maternal conditions may be linked with neurodevelopmental problems in children raises concerns and therefore may have serious public health implications,” report author Paula Krakowiak said in a statement.

Ms Krakowiak, a researcher with the University of California’s Davis MIND Institute, said diabetes and obesity did not cause autism, but the results suggested that those conditions adversely affect fetaldevelopment.

The study, published online this week by the journal Pediatrics, examined demographic and med-

ical information from mothers and their children.

Children with autism, developmental delays and typical development were compared in the study.

More than 20 per cent of mothers with children who had autism or developmental delays were obese, compared with 14 per cent of mothers with children without developmental difficulties.

The study also found that 9.3 per cent of women with type two or gestational diabetes had an autistic child, while 11.6 per cent had a child with developmental delays.

This compared with 6.4 per cent of children with autism born to mothers without these conditions.

The study’s authors said obesity was linked to diabetes and hypertension, all of which are characterised by insulin resistance and chronic inflammation.

If the mother’s glucose levels are high, the fetus could be deprived of oxygen, which is needed in greater amounts to produce more insulin to counter the glucose levels.

Ms Krakowiak said this could adversely affect the developing fetus.

Dr Andrew Whitehouse, the head of autism research with the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research in WA, said the study showed that increasing rates of obesity, particularly in pregnant women, may have implications for child development.

It could also point to the increase in autism diagnoses, he said.

However, he said the study did not show that all obese women would have a child with autism.

About one in 160 Australian children have autism, he said.

The light of Christ HUMANITY destroying humanity. How else can we describe what is happening in places like Syria. We look at our screens and we see the world attempting to destroy itself in so many ways and in so many places. So why doesn’t it? Put us all out of our misery.

But what is that light that is within each one of us that journeys ahead inthe hope of leading us to something better? Why is it that so many reach out to the wounded of our world? And what do they experience when they do?

What did the doubting Thomas see when he was called to reach out and touch the wounds of the Risen Christ?

Perhaps we should ask those who touch the wounded of

today. Perhaps Thomas saw that the persecutions, beatings and even the wooden cross itself could not hold Jesus. That Jesus of Nazareth not only escapes death, the grave, the cloth and spices but appears to belong both in our world and beyond it.

Could we too be part of something more, far more than the time and space of this world? A world that knows suffering and yet reaches beyond.

Every culture ever known has reached for the beyond. But only Christianity, through the whole Christ event, makes the extraordinary claim of the resurrection for the believer in the present.

The resurrection is not only a new creation; it is a new creation. When our eyes are

opened to this reality we realise we have arrived at the place where it all first started but we have a very different and profound understanding of the unfolding love story of creation.

It is then when our eyes are opened to the reality of who Jesus really is, what he has done and what he is doing todaythat we can look at each other and all creation with new eyes, with a new heart and with a love that cries out the Good News to our broken and suffering world.

May the Light of Christ be with you in every way.

WIN

Monday, SEVEN, 10.00pm Karma is about to find Barney (Neil Patrick Harris, left) in the form of a stripper called… er, Karma. Ugly Betty’s Becki Newton stars as the object of Barney’s desire but when Ted (Josh Radnor) points out he still has to pay her to spend time with him, he thinks his money could be better spent elsewhere. Meanwhile, the rest of the gang feel unsettled when Ted tries to find a use for Robin’s (Cobie Smulders) old room (including meat drying, woodwork and pottery), with disastrous results. As Robin makes the bold move to the suburbs, Lily (Alyson Hannigan) and Marshall (Jason Segel) begin to question their decision to move out of the city.

SC TEN

Monday, SBS ONE, 7.30pm If you’re planning a holiday, it’s probably best not to tune in to this Mythbusters special when the gang sort out the fact from fiction among planes, trains and automobiles. But if you like your fact-finding fast and with plenty of explosions, this should be right up your caboose as Adam and Jamie investigate the myth of the “third rail” and whether the volts it carries is enough to kill a man. Prepare to be amazed as they count down their favourite transportinspired stunts, including whether a plane can take off from a conveyer belt travelling in the opposite direction, and if driving under stress is worse for fuel economy.

National SPORT Broncos pair could be Test rivals

IN FORM: Broncos forward Matt Gillett.

BRISBANE: Brisbane teammates Alex Glenn and Matt Gillett battle each other every week for a spot in one of the hottest back-rows in the NRL. But later this month, the pair could be fierce enemies, with Glenn in line to play his fifth Test for New Zealand and Gillett gaining admirers who believe he should be chosen in Tim Sheens’ Kangaroos squad for the April 20 Eden Park showdown.

Glenn is a Gillett admirer and, like former Brisbane, Queensland and Kangaroos captain Gorden Tallis, believes Australian selectors must pick his Broncos teammate to make his Test debut.

Test selection would complete an amazing journey from Bribie Island first

grade to international rugby league in less than three years.

“Matt definitely deserves a bench spot on the Australian team,” declared 21-year-old Glenn, who is hoping his own outstanding start to 2012 carries weight with Kiwi coach Stephen Kearney.

A super-fit athlete, Glenn said he was “blown away” the first time he saw Gillett squat more than 200kg in the gym.

“He doesn’t really have the big legs to be lifting those kind of weights.

People don’t expect him to be that strong on the field,” Glenn said.

Despite holding down a spot in Brisbane’s representative back-row, Glenn said he wasn’t taking his Test selection for granted. – AAP

Bock remaining tight-lipped on return GOLD COAST: The last time Nathan Bock revealed he would be starting as a Gold Coast Suns forward he ended up copping a two-match ban and $10,000 fine.

So it was no surprise Bock was tightlipped about where he would play in his long-awaited AFL return tonight.

The regular defender was last year unwittingly embroiled in a betting scandal after he let slip to family and

FlashNews Opals lose Taylor for London Olympics MELBOURNE: The gold medal hopes of Australia’s women’s basketball team have suffered a huge setback with star forward Penny Taylor ruled out of the London Olympics. Taylor has seriously injured her knee playing for her Turkish club Fenerbahce in the EuroLeague.

Scans have shown she has torn her anterior cruciate ligament and will have to undergo surgery.

Murphy vows to be back for Hamilton WELLINGTON: Back surgery won’t stop Kiwi V8 Supercar driver Greg Murphy getting behind the wheel to bid farewell to the Hamilton street circuit later this month. “I fully expect to be in the car in Hamilton next week and I’m looking forward to it,” the 39-year-old said, despite having been operated on just two weeks ago.

friends that he would start last season’s round-24 clash with Hawthorn as a forward. He kicked the first goal of that match, ensuring a mate and two family members shared in $40,000 worth of winnings.

When the dust settled on a threemonth AFL investigation in December, Bock was banned, fined and red faced.

Despite being suspended, Bock was allowed to play in the Suns’ pre-season

campaign and shone in the forward line. But the former All-Australian defender was not giving anything away as he prepared for his return against Essendon at Metricon Stadium.

Asked where he would play, a poker faced Bock said: “Not sure yet.

“I will go out there and do what I normally do and give my bit for the team – hopefully we can start being competitive.”

Manly to wait on key duo SYDNEY: Manly coach Geoff Toovey is adamant he won’t rush Brett Stewart and Kieran Foran back from injury unless they are 100 per cent fit to face Gold Coast today.

The pair have both been named in the side to take on the Titans at Brookvale Oval, as has halfback Daly Cherry-Evans, who sustained a corked thigh during the 30-0 win over Penrith on Monday.

Toovey said Cherry-Evans is the most likely of the trio to play and the Sea Eagles’ medical staff would assess the fitness of Stewart’s ribs and Foran’s hamstring.

“Daly’s definitely going to be OK. It’s just a cork and he played on during the game,” Toovey said.

“We’re still waiting to see how the other two cope.

We won’t be risking them if there’s any doubt around them, but we are hopeful.”

Toovey admitted Foran

and Stewart were desperate to put themselves in the frame for selection for New Zealand and NSW, but denied this would have any influence on a decision to play them.

“I know Kieran’s very keen and I know Brett’s very close to being OK as well,” he said.

“Plus, with the representative season coming up, they all want to be on deck to show their wares and we’re hoping to get them back, but we won’t risk them.

“We’re not putting any timelines on it, but it’s a bit like last week. We thought they were close and we gave them until the 11th hour to make a decision and that’ll be the same this week.”

The premiers shrugged aside the loss of four internationals to ease past the Panthers and Toovey said the win has been a huge boost to the side’s morale after three successive defeats. – AAP

Unbeaten records on line SYDNEY: Golden Slipper success hasn’t been enough for Pierro to wrestle favouritism from All Too Hard in today’s Group One Sires’ Produce Stakes at Randwick.

The unbeaten Gai Waterhouse-trained colt will clash with the also unbeaten All Too Hard in the 1400m feature.

Black Caviar’s halfbrother All Too Hard went up favourite with TAB Sportsbet at $1.50 on Wednesday, with Pierro at $2.60.

The pair dominate the market, with Pierro’s stablemate Raceway next at $21 after a field of seven was declared for the second leg of the Sydney twoyear-old triple crown.

Connections of All Too Hard opted to bypass the Golden Slipper last weekend after his impressive

Trained in partnership

by John Hawkes and his sons Michael and Wayne, All Too Hard has already proven himself at 1400m

with a dominant victory in the VRC Sires’ Produce Stakes.

Waterhouse respects All

Too Hard, but believes Pierro should be the favourite.

“Of course he should be (favourite),” Waterhouse said.

“What’s he got to prove?

Nothing.”

Pierro’s Golden Slipper victory added to wins in the Silver Slipper, Todman Stakes and Breeders’ Plate.

Raceway was also well placed on the turn in the Golden Slipper but couldn’t finish the race off like his jockey Hugh Bowman had hoped, finishing fifth.

Waterhouse said both Pierro and Raceway had come through the Slipper in good order.

“They have pulled up terrific. They are as happy as pigs in mud,” Waterhouse said.

“I wouldn’t be starting them if I wasn’t really happy with them.” – AAP

NO WAY THROUGH: Liverpool goalkeeper Brad Jones blocks Blackburn striker Yakuba.

Picture: AP

LIVERPOOL: A twist of fate has left Australian goalkeeper Brad Jones preparing for the biggest match of his career after an emotional and eventful English Premier League debut for Liverpool.

Jones, Liverpoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third string goalkeeper, saved a penalty with his first touch in the Redsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 3-2 win over Blackburn at Ewood Park on Wednesday and dedicated the win to the memory of his son Luca, who died of leukaemia five months ago.

The Socceroos squad member had only made two senior cup appearances for the club, but was unexpectedly thrown into action

in the 26th minute after a red card to Alexander Doni, who had only started after first-choice keeper Pepe Reinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s send-off against Newcastle.

With both goalkeepers suspended, it leaves 30-year-old Jones in line to face Everton in the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FA Cup semi-final at Wembley tonight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sunk in yet, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a bit of a shock â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not something I was expecting,â&#x20AC;? said Jones, who signed for Liverpool from Middlesbrough in 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a case of getting focused and ready for it.â&#x20AC;?

Baddeley inspired

by Bubbaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory LOS ANGELES: Aaron Baddeley has been energised by best mate Bubba Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s US Masters win at just the right time.

As Watson created history at Augusta National last Sunday, one of the first to be there to congratulate him on the second play-off hole was close friend Baddeley.

The Victorian hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t claimed the green jacket for himself, but watched â&#x20AC;&#x153;probably the next best thingâ&#x20AC;? as Watson produced a stunning hooked wedge shot from the trees to set up victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel energised and a bit inspired and it makes you want to keep working harder to achieve things like that,â&#x20AC;? Baddeley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bubba is my best mate out here on tour and to see him win and how much it meant to him, it was just awesome.â&#x20AC;?

The boost is timely as Baddeley returns to Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head, South Carolina, his most successful venue on tour and site of his first of three US PGA tour victories.

The 31-year-old won here in 2006 and since then hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finished any worse than a tie for 22nd, including a further runnerup finish in 2008. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like I play well

Baddeley said of the famed Harbour Town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a lot of good thoughts about how to play the course and especially as it was my first win, it brings a lot of good memories back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always there or thereabouts with a chance on the weekend and I am hoping I can get back in that position again.â&#x20AC;?

Baddeley says it is his ability to shape the ball

both ways, similar to Watson â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if not to the same degree â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which gives him an edge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the tightness of the course helps my focus, but also the ability I have to shape shots both ways helps,â&#x20AC;? Baddeley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoy the fun of the different shots you have to hit around this golf course.â&#x20AC;?

Baddeley is very keen to bounce back from his play at the Masters.

Having made it past his initial goal of making the cut at Augusta National,

Baddeley found himself tied fifth after five holes on Saturday, right in the mix.

But his third round unravelled from there and despite getting back to within four shots on the back nine, he played his last five holes in five-over par to fall out of contention.

He eventually finished in a tie for 40th, but will take plenty of experience from the event, identifying a few personal keys he believes will help going forward. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; AAP

The keeper, whose partner Dani gave birth to a baby boy Nico Luca Jones last week, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been a difficult 18 months with my son passing away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was for him and for the Liverpool fans, who have been brilliant.â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201C; AAP

Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bahrain race was postponed and eventually called off after violent anti-government demonstrations and a deadly crackdown.

Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone admitted he could not force teams to take part â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but he said only officials in Bahrain could decide whether the race would go ahead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve no way we can force people to go there,â&#x20AC;?

Ecclestone said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to goâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; although they would be in breach of their agreement with us if they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Commercially, they have to go, but whether they decide to or not is up to them.

Doubtfilly adds to Slipper magic

IT was the kid’s day out at Rosehill racecourse on Saturday for the Golden Slipper and we can only hope that the new Queensland racing regime took note.

Let’s hope that ridiculous Labor Government law that prohibits kids (and their mums) from big race days in North Queensland goes the same way as Bentley and Bligh.

Last Saturday a group of more than 30 part-owners and their families from Central Queensland turned up to cheer Mackay’s Doubtfilly in the $3.5 million Golden Slipper.

And what a day they had.

The grand little filly, despised by most punters in the betting, ran a courageous fourth to some of the best two-year-olds in the land.

Jockey, Damien Oliver, said: “I’ve never been on a 100-1 pop that travelled so well.”

An emotional reception

greeted the winner trained by “Big Joe” THEY reckon there has never been a reception like it in all the 100 years they’ve been racing at Einasleigh, a tiny one pub town on the banks over the Copperfield River in the remote northern goldfields – just down the road from the old Kidston Gold mine.

Miners and riders, punters, strappers and trainers, among the near record crowd on Saturday, gave the win of Simple Task in the last a huge, thumping reception.

Not because he was the favorite. But all because of the bloke who trains him.

Big Joe Butler, 50, the gentle giant from Georgetown, is fighting, and sadly not winning, a relentless and severely life-sapping strain of cancer.

Big Joe (proper name Neil) is not only known all over the wild North West, as a cattleman and immensely popular sportsman. He is also the race-

caller at all those bush tracks in the north and for many years has been an owner, and a successful trainer – a stalwart in every sense of the word.

Mates hired a Winnebago to to ensure “Big Joe” witnessed the win MOST cancer sufferers, certainly those as severely afflicted as Neil, would not have even contemplated a day out of bed last Saturday – let alone a day at the races.

But Big Joe was there. His mates had hired a Winnebago, loaded it up with all the required medicinals and other comforts, and headed 365 kilometers down the track to witness Neil’s honest galloper Simple Task win the last.

It was a moving moment, especially at the presentation.

His great mate Athol Ryan (he rode for Neil years back) was there to comfort and “hold him in the shade” as the crowd, many weeping, applauded

Silks and Saddles with Terry Butts

long and loudly.

Big Joe was too sick to saddle him (Athol saw to that) and in another twist, the race was called by Athol’s teenage son, Kyle, who has been coached by the big fella to take over the role of calling on all of the outback tracks.

An appeal has been launched to grant “Big Joe” his farewell wish AN appeal was started three weeks ago by the Georgetown Golf Club, of which he was president for 13 years, to grant Big Joe his ‘Farewell Wish.’

The plan is to have him trackside at Morphettville on April 28, with a carer, to witness Black Caviar contest her final race before taking on the

World in the UK. The appeal has reached $6,000.

already

Fund organiser Jenny Hooper, honorary secretary of theh r Golf Club said: “If for some reason the funds are not used for this trip, the money willi be used for Joe’s medical costst and the balance will be donated to the Cancer Fund.

Someone hopefully tellsu Black Caviar there’s a very spe-b cial person, with a background not dissimilar to her master Peter Moody, is on his way downt just to see – and farewell her.

On a wish and a prayer!

Mackay pair clean up at go kart championships

By Dean Faithfull

MACKAY cleaned up last weekend at the Queensland State Titles for Go Karting as Luke Capuco and Tod Stevens stole first and second place.

The race included some fine racing from both Capuco and Stevens, but it was Capuco that took the lime-

light despite a valiant effort from Stevens at the finish line.

“I got pushed off during the race,” Stevens said. “I had to catch up to the leaders and I moved up to second with three laps to go. It ended up being a race to the finish line between me and Luke, but he edged it by a nose-cone.”

The Mackay racers were

separated by just .05 of a second which showed just how competitive the race was.

The win delivered Capuco’s first open state title victory.

Capuco, like all racers, would love to compete at a higher level but the financial strain of the sport makes it difficult for even the most talented to step up the ranks.

“The financial cost of the sport takes a lot of dedication,” Capuco said. “I would love to race at a higher level but realistically it probably will not happen.”

Stevens who was ranked 143 in Australia last year first started riding go karts at age 13.

“My mum and Dad first bought me a go kart when

I was 13 and I started racing competitively in 2008 when I could afford to compete,” Stevens said. “As long as I can afford to, I will never stop racing.”

Local Sports Mackay AFL draft hopeful flying high

By Dean Faithfull

MEET Mackay’s AFL draft hopeful Tyler Jones. Jones recently made the Under18 Queensland side, a great achievement after overcoming a serious groin injury sustained two-and-half years ago.

Jones attended Mackay North State High School until the end of year 11 before earning a sporting scholarship at Faith Lutheran College in Brisbane though the Redland Bombers Football Club.

Mackay Telegraph sports reporter spoke to Jones about his AFL achievements.

Your position?

Half back flank

Do you have a nickname?

I get called TJ or Jonesey, either one I don’t mind.

What football clubs have you played for?

I played for the North Mackay Saints until last year when I moved to Brisbane and now I play for the Redland Bombers.

How has your first year

with the Bombers gone?

I achieved under-18s best and fairest for the Bombers and also made the reserve premiers. It has been great so far so hopefully I can keep it up.

What did you have to go do to reach the under-18 Queensland squad?

I had a testing camp in October last year where they tested my fitness and my skills. From that they selected a training squad to do a pre-season fitness campaign which started in November 2011 right

through until April 2012.

Then Gold Coast Country played Gold Coast Metro in which they picked a Gold Coast Suns under-18 academy. From there they played the Brisbane Lions academy twice in which they picked a State under 18s squad called the QLD Scorpions.

How did you find you love for football?

I was born in Victoria and lived there until I was 10, before moving up to Mackay.

So I was brought up on the sport and played from a very young age. Well living in Victoria, it’s either AFL or Cricket and they were the two sports I played.

Any advice for young players coming up?

To keep working hard and that success will follow if you do the hard yards. It may even mean moving to a new city like Brisbane.

How does it feel to have reached the under-18 Queensland squad?

It’s an awesome feeling because this is what I have

WEEKEND EDITION

been working hard for since November. It has to be my best achievement so far and I hope to keep progressing from here.

What are you goals for the future? Pro? That’s where I want to end up in the future but at the moment I’m just working hard to give myself every possible chance and hopefully play well at the national championships and to get drafted.

Do you have a favourite AFL player?

I really like to watch Chris Judd and Gary Ablett. They are quality and represent the type of player I would love to be.

What was it like playing for the Mackay Crows?

I played for them for a year and it was an enjoyable time getting to travel around North Queensland and play footy with your mates. It is where it all started for me so the Crows is a special club for me personally.

Mackay’s AFL youngsters out to impress

Here he achieved trainee of the year for the Queensland Trainee Awards.

With his expertise, Tindale plans to expand the current driving range in something

more advanced to meet the needs of Mackay’s golfers.

“In the next six months we are looking to expand and get new targets in,” Tindale said.

“We will have pitching nets at various distances and a big landing net in the middle to give people a larger target.

“I would love to get a car out there too as a target.”

In 2010 the driving range blossomed from an idea to reality as after many months of hard work between five families, along with a helping hand from others, the Mackay Driving Range was built.

The modern day/nightfacility boasts 16 covered driving bays with a further 30 turf bays along with a practice bunker.

EVERY week I will get a lesson and tips on a different sport or activity from pros around the region. I will attempt to master the sport or activity in just one lesson, giving readers the best tips and recording my experiences along the way. I’m sure it will also be amusing.

This week I got a master lesson from golf pro Josh Tindale. Being a proud Englishman I should probably be into the beautiful game of golf- but I’m not.

With very little finesse in my ability, I often rely on power and luck to get me by; which is why my golf swing looks like Fred Flintstone swatting at flies with a stick. However I

gave it a good go and Josh was able to get me lookingB half-normal. As I hit my last ball, Josh went to collect myT strays from the road, and leftC me with three tips to improveg my swing: P 1. Make sure you get the set-M up right, and you are alignedl with the target. t 2. Your ‘take-away’ is very important, which is the firstM movement in the swing- youD must be steady and smooth. c 3. Work on you balance. Ifr you don’t have a steady baseC you will never hit a golf balli right.

B I will probably go back tow the Mackay Driving Ranget again so that in 20 years’I time, when I enjoy walk-n ing around a field with myw grumpy mates, I won’t beL completely useless. a R

The Mackay Road Runners Club was formed in 1976 by a group of keen runners and has since grown into the competitive club it is today.

The club hosts numerous

races with the season starting in February and finishing in October. There are over 35 races throughout the season including 5km, 10km and marathon races. Runners earn points for successful races and at the end have a score for both their age category and overall. The runner with the most points earns the title of club champion for the year.

Today’s 10km Club Championship race is a wellestablished event and has been held every year for the past 20 years. Runners will meet at the park’s rotunda via the Goldsmith St entrance and registration closes 10 minutes prior to racing at 5pm. Runners are invited to stay post-race for random cash draw prizes donated by Balance Podiatry.

Lisa Burns, middle, is a major contender for the women’s 10km race, and recently competed with Teri Leotta, left, and Janelle Tilse, right, at a recent 6km cross country event.

Cougars coach fancies the Miners

Miners’ player Jordan Corte

By Dean Faithfull

CAPRICORN Cougars’ new coach Joe Fennick is keen for his team to take on the Whitsunday Miners to determine where the Cougars stand in the QSL. The league is up and running again after the Easter break with the Miners travelling away to Rockhampton to face the Cougars.

The Miners team has had its best start to a season since

the club was formed. With three wins out of four, the Miners are sitting equal on points with Brisbane Strikers and the Sunshine Coast Fire but are third overall on goal difference.

Today they face Rockhampton rivals the Capricorn Cougars, which has also had a great start to the season with two wins and an impressive 10 goal tally.

Its Fennick’s first season in charge of the Cougars and

it will be his first time experiencing the rivalry between the teams.

Capricorn Cougars New Coach

“This game will give us the opportunity to work out where we really stand in the league.”

“This is a game with a reputation for rivalry and the boys are definitely looking forward to the challenge,” Fennick said.

However, Fennick was quick to point out that he saw the Miners as a favourite in the league and said after two wins the Cougars players wouldn’t be getting ahead of themselves.

“We played the Miners pre-season and I thought they had the potential for a very

good outfit, perhaps one of the favourites in my eyes,” he said.

“This game will give us the opportunity to work out where we really stand in the league.”

The last time the two teams met the Miners ran away comfortable winners but with the introduction of a new coach and some key additions to the side, today’s game is likely to be a very different occasion.

Strong, fast and ready to strike

Meteorettes team is primed for a big year on the basketball court

By Dean Faithfull

THE Mackay Meteorettes basketball team has raised the bar this pre-season with the addition of some firstrate recruits and after making the finals last year they will itching to go all the way in this season’s QBL campaign.

Both the Meteorettes and the Meteors begin this season’s journey tonight with a pre-season showdown with rivals Rockhampton.

The Meteorettes are stronger than ever having focused on adding depth to their defence this season with the addition of a strength and conditioning coach. General Manager and Director of Coaching Joel Khalu said the women are ready to hit peak performance levels.

“We decided to bring in a strength and conditioning coach to make sure we can compete physically at

higher levels,” Mr Khalu said. “The women have gone through a tough and rigorous pre-season and are in the best shape they have ever been in.”

This season will see some new faces on the court after some strong defensive recruiting by Meteorettes coach Wade Rabetzke.

Rabetzke is pleased with his new recruits including recent signing Jillian Haughton.

“Jillian is a very good ball player and plays well above her age,” Rabetzke said. “I am very excited to have her on board.”

Latest signing Louella Tomlinson will also bring more strength to the side in a team that will be more than just competitive this season.

“I wanted to come to the Meteorettes because they always aim to be a top side in the league,” Tomlinson said.

“Here at the Meteorettes the girls are all here for one thing – to win basketball games.”

Mr Khalu believes that Tomlinson will be a fantastic addition to the side.

“Louella will bring a presence that we really didn’t have last year,” he said. “She will play a key role for us.”

The Meteorettes tip- off against Rockhampton at 6pm tonight and the Meteors play at 8pm. Both games are being played at the Crater, Mackay.
