Mackay Newmarket tip: Tiger Legend
Tiger Legend proved way too good for his rivals in the Battle Of The Bush Final at Eagle Farm before running home strongly from the back in the Rockhampton Newmarket. The John Manzelmann-trained gelding led all the way to victory two starts back but he was made to settle back in the field from a wide barrier in the Newmarket, and he ran out of time to run down the leaders. From barrier four, Ashley Butler will be able to settle on speed, and with even luck, Tiger Legend can win again.

Best Bet at Mackay: Papasito
Following an all the way victory at Rockhampton over 1300m two starts back, Papasito carried a massive weight (61kg) and was run down late over 1560m at this track. This three-year-old gelding from the Clinton Taylor yard will drop back in grade to race against his own age group and will carry a lot less weight. Although he will jump from barrier nine, Justin Stanley can push forward on Papasito and attempt to replicate his most recent win.

Race 2 – 
#2 Papasito (9)
3yo Gelding | T: Clinton Taylor | J: Justin Stanley (56.5kg)
+125 with Neds
Next Best at Mackay: Fighting Commando
Fighting Commando claimed the Amateurs Cup at this track and trip on May 11, and the Ricky Vale-trained gelding was well beaten by Acrophobic over 1560m last start. This son of Fighting Sun led all the way to victory in the Amateurs Cup but was ridden off the speed recently and could reel in the runaway leader in the concluding stage. Now that he rises in trip to 1800m again, expect Fighting Commando to perform much better and play a prominent role in the finish.
