Townsville Race 8

Justin Reid Pathways F

Prize Money: $3,200

POPULAR MONSTER (7) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 3.5 lengths at this track in a handy 21.68 beating RINGWALD. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Form reads well for this. ASTON ELIJAH (6) hit the frame latest (22.26) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Has already won out of this draw. Makes strong appeal on best. OUCH MY FRANKY (1) has hit the frame here at the last two runs, most recently finishing third beaten 2.75 lengths (22.15). Must be included in calculations. RINGWALD (2) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three at this track and distance most recently.

Has hit the frame the last couple. Finished third at this track latest but prior to that clocked a fast 21.91 over 380m finishing second at this track. Looms as the one to beat this time.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 380m. Last start finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on October 28 over 380m at this track behind Willow's Witch beaten 5.5 lengths (22.26). Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.
