If you’re in the area, get yourself to Cannon Park on Friday and Saturday, or at least book it in for next year, because the Cairns Amateurs Carnival is arguably the best in Australia. It all kicks off on Friday with an eight-race program, and HorseBetting has you covered with best bets and quaddie numbers for the meeting. Cairns has really turned it on, with the rail in the true position and the track rated a Soft 5, so a terrific day of racing is on the cards. The action gets underway at 12:27pm AEST.
Best Bet at Cairns – Bank Bank Bank
Maybe we’re getting carried away, but Bank Bank Bank looks like a Listed victory wouldn’t be out of reach. The Ricky Ludwig-trained four-year-old has been terrific winning his past four starts, going from a maiden to a Class 3 win on Townsville Cup Day last start. The combined winning margin of those four wins is 12 lengths, so he has been doing it comfortably and he has had to overcome so horror barriers. With a little over a month since his last start, Bank Bank Bank should appreciate the drop back to 1250m, while barrier three is going to allow Frank Edwards to take up the running, cruise at a high speed and then skip away. This is his toughest test to date, but he should be too classy once again.

Next Best at Cairns – Indictment
Indictment’s last-start victory at this track over 1250m had to be seen to believe, but it gave every indication that he would be even better over 1400m. The Stephen Massingham-trained five-year-old carried 62kg to victory that day, so he should enjoy the drop to 59.5kg, with Nathan Day retaining the ride in the saddle. In three North Queensland starts, the son of Street Boss hasn’t been out of the top three, while his previous form in Victoria was very solid, placing in Listed company at Flemington in April 2020. He looks to be a clear standout in this.

Best Value at Cairns – Ten Schilling
Five-year-old gelding Ten Schilling has only had two starts, but he looks to have plenty of ability based on what we’ve seen. Alwyn Bailey trains the son of Artie Schiller who bolted in in maiden company back in May at this track over 1400m. While we haven’t seen him since at the races or at the trials, he finds the right sort of race to suggest he will go close to winning. From barrier five, Shane Pawsey will take Ten Schillings forward for the 1250m contest and he should take some running down.

#2 Ten Schilling (5)
