Townsville Race 7

Prize Money: $2,400

BUG ME MORE (2) used the rails draw to advantage to get home last time at this track and distance (21.69), scoring by 6 lengths. Expected to go close again. ASTON KINNIE (1) is going well, finishing in the placings twice in a row. Not beaten far last time when a half a length second (21.90) in a Grade 5 at this track. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. BARNSLEY (3) comes here after a speedy win at this track over 380m in 21.88. Expecting another bold showing. BLACK RIFLE (7) is a last-start placegetter worth considering.

Comments

Went down narrowly in a Grade 5 at this track latest when a half a length second but did record a slick 21.90 over the 380m trip. Can measure up with a repeat of that effort.

Strong performance to post a big 6 lengths victory in a Grade 6 last start at this track, clocking a hot 21.69 for the 380m trip. Expected to push the clock again here.

Has placed the last couple. Ran 29.10 when third at this track latest but the run prior he clocked a hot 21.80 over 380m finishing second at this track. Rates a chance if runs up to recent fast time.

Finished third at big odds last time (22.23) over 380m at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Has to do a bit more.

Looks close to another win after his success on June 27 at this track over 380m. Last start was third over 380m in 21.90, behind Furious Phantom. Solid showing expected.

Comments

Strong performance showing plenty of speed to score by one length in a Grade 5 last start at this track, clocking a solid 21.91 over the 380m trip. Should be in this for a long way.

Expected Early Speed:Front Runner
