Townsville Race 3

Bet Nation Stayers Challenge H

Prize Money: $4,900

TOP NOTCH SCOTCH (8) produced a swift 37.80 when filling a minor placing over 643m at this track last start. Smart effort latest and looks a key chance again here. FLYING GODDESS (2) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish second, beaten one length, (30.86) at Taree Super Track. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Expected to be in this for a long way. CANYA SCARLET (4) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (38.00) last time in a OPEN at this track. Solid record here winning four races. Leading chance. HIDDEN FURY (1) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.

On debut at this trip. Last start finished second at Taree Super Track over 525m in (30.86). With some luck and a clean start should figure in the finish.
