Townsville Race 4

Prize Money: $2,800

MAISIE MOO MOO (7) turned in a plain performance last time when sixth at Rockhampton over 510m behind Out The Bottle (31.95) in a Grade 4/5. Should be very hard to beat this time. DRINK SHIRAZ (2) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by 4.5 lengths at this track in a handy 21.76 beating Come By Chance. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Hard to fault his form and he makes plenty of appeal. MENDOCINO (1) is a talented dog who is a winner of eight races and filled a minor placing latest when third at this track (29.27). Solid record here at this trip including six wins. Got the money at his only try from this box. Leading player again. BILLY BUTTONS (5) has claims again if he runs up to the latest effort.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a eighth over 380m at this track. Safely held last time and looking to others.

Good effort to win last start by 1.75 lengths over 380m at this track in a handy (21.80), beating Hara's Stellar. Can measure up again with the right run.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.28) in a Free For All, finishing a 8 length sixth. Has three successes and three minors from 11 starts from box 6. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.

Last start finished 6th in a Grade 4/5 on July 6 over 510m at Rockhampton behind Out The Bottle beaten 22 lengths (31.95). Last couple have been below par. Deserves another chance.
