Townsville Race 3

Jack Lynch

Prize Money: $3,800

STORMY NEO (2) was strongly fancied on the back of a win two starts ago but finished sixth last time (31.42) at Angle Park. The form out of his last race has been franked. Ready to return to form. FIRST ON BASE (1) jumped from out wide and was game in defeat last start when a third (29.41) behind Rio Ragnar at this track. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Expecting another good run. NO POWER (3) was unplaced here last start but gets his chance to atone.
