Townsville (G) Race 4

Garbutt News & Post Office

Prize Money: $2,400

TANGELO TORNADO (1) goes very well at the distance with two wins and a placing from four starts. Missed the frame latest (22.31) when fourth over 380m at this track in a Novice race. Has the ability and should feature. PIERRE D'ARCY (2) turned in a fair run last time from an unfavourable draw finishing fifth by 5 lengths (29.32). Should play a prominent role. HEAD WEST (4) opened his account last time out by 2.25 lengths at this track over 380m (22.11). Has two placings this course. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. JED THE TURTLE (7) is likely to have admirers.

Missed the frame last start when fourth and beaten 6 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Looks a leading contender on best and expected to bounce back.

Had been in consistent form with three minors on end before missing the frame last start when fifth (22.51) at this track. Has a low draw but will need to find best.

Solid performance to win by 2.25 lengths at this track over 380m (22.11) beating Non Stop Wizard in Maiden on December 6. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 0.8 lengths over 380m at this track in a handy 22.21, beating Rambutan Beast. Has hit winning form and can go on with it.
