Townsville Race 9

Pat Groves

Prize Money: $2,400

NO POWER (1) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (22.01) at this track behind Basil Fawlty in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Must come into calculations. GIFTED LILLY (2) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (22.22) at this track behind Cheap Reality in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Expected to be in this for a long way. HOLLY MAGIC (8) found the frame for the second consecutive time when narrowly beaten into third last time out (22.16) over 380m at this track. Well placed here and can atone this time. SMOOTH BLAST (3) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can make amends.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 2nd over 380m at this track beaten one length (22.01) behind Basil Fawlty in a Grade 5 on April 21. Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.
