Townsville Race 8

Coral Coast Seafoods Cairns 5th Grade H

Prize Money: $2,600

COTTON BALL BUZZ (2) recorded a win over 380m at this track in a dynamic 21.71 last start. Has the ability and looks a key chance again. COMPLEX THINKING (5) crossed over from out wide last start before finishing second (21.90) at this track in a Grade 5 over 380m. Has a strong record from box 5, including two wins. Well-placed to take this out. AMBER ANNIE (1) spotted a start but wound up strongly to score by 2.75 lengths (37.49) at this track in OPEN. Expecting another bold showing. MONTEBELLO (7) is right in the mix.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 352m at Q Lakeside. That followed a win two back in 20.23 beating Professor Shogun over 352m at Q Lakeside. Tempted to look elsewhere.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 380m at this track. Prepared to risk on this occasion.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a one length second at this track but did record a sharp 21.90 over the 380m journey. Looks the one to beat with a repeat of that effort.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and tends to spot them a start in her races, The latest effort was a 6 length sixth over 380m at this track. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.
