Townsville Race 5

Hayley Wooler 1-3 Wins H

Prize Money: $2,400

EMPTY SKY (1) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 380m behind Nemesis (22.40) in a P5. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. GO THE BLUES (7) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing third (22.07) at this track. Expected to feature. BIG BUBBA GUMP (2) comes off an average run last start when eighth at this track over 380m behind Colonel's Dream (22.79) in a Grade 5. The form from her last run stacks up well. One of the main contenders. HOLLYWOOD ROCKET (8) is in the mix after placing here at this trip last time out.

Missed the frame latest (22.40) when fifth over 380m at this track in a P5. Has three placings from five starts from the draw. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Lines up from box 6 for the first time after finishing a 5 length sixth at Q Lakeside (22.39) in a Grade 5. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 2.75 lengths third (22.07) over 380m at this track. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.
