Townsville (G) Race 9

PLACE A SRM WITH BET NATION 5Th Grade H

Prize Money: $2,400

SMOOTH BLAST (2) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Finished third (28.95) at this track last time making it three minors on end. Form is hard to fault from this box, with a win and five minor placings from six starts. Can go on with it. BLUE MARINE (1) placed three back at this track then out of the placings last couple but moves to box 1 this time where he has performed well. Can improve sharply here. PANAMA LOCO (7) has gone well at her last couple of runs here, most recently when second beaten 7 lengths (22.04). Bold showing expected. MIZUKI STARLINE (8) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.
