Townsville Race 5

News Express Garbutt 5Th Grade H

Prize Money: $2,400

GENGAR WAVE (8) will take beating coming off a respectable 21.92 win at this track over 380m. Hot win latest and looks the one to beat again. SAVONA (1) has a strong winning strike-rate this journey having won two of four starts. In the money last time at this track (29.28) in a Restricted WIN, finishing a 8 length third. Suited here and expected to run well. ASTON JABBER (4) produced a modest effort most recently when eighth at this track over 380m behind Move Lightly (22.38) in a Grade 4. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Should be about the money. HARA'S HOLLY (2) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

Finished fourth (22.19) last time over 380m at this track. On the quick back up and gets her chance to turn it around. Has claims if at her best.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when she finished 4th over 380m at this track beaten 4.5 lengths (22.43) behind Dinosaur Bones in a Grade 5 on October 24. Solid chance with even luck.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in her races. Last start finished sixth over 380m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Safely held last time and looking to others.
