Townsville Race 2

Bet Nation Townsville

Prize Money: $2,800

RACCOON ROGER (4) has a strong record here with four wins and a minor from six starts. Recorded a 2.5 lengths win (21.66) in a Grade 4 last time at this track. Appeals as a leading chance in this. VERRUCKT (1) was in the minors two back (21.88) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 8th. Form here at the trip sound including nine wins. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. BRIDGE UP BABY (2) has been a little hard to follow, finishing out of the placings latest but was in winning form two back scoring in a Grade 4 at this track. With a good start should be able to take advantage of the low draw. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. RINGWALD (3) is worth consideration after filling a hole last start.

Last start finished last in a Grade 3/4 on May 26 over 380m at this track behind Holly Magic beaten 14 lengths (22.68). Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Strong performance to score by 2.5 lengths in a Grade 4 last start at this track, clocking an excellent 21.66 for the 380m trip. Hard to top on that run.

Good effort to win last start by 1.3 lengths over 380m at this track in a handy (22.07), beating Bullemor Banner. Will find this a bit tougher, other runners look much more appealing.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by half a length at this track (21.78) beating Miss Rosalea in a Grade 5 on May 19. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.
