Townsville Race 9

Bet Nation Townsville Cup H

Prize Money: $8,000

CANYA HELLFIRE (1) was well in the market last time but only managed fourth (29.51), beaten 10 lengths. Finished second the start before. The form from his last run stacks up well. Should bounce back. ROMAN PARTY (2) has missed the frame at his last two runs but could not have been more impressive the run prior in his convincing 28.67 win at this track over 498m. Has the ability and can find winning form again. FAST FREDDY (6) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by a neck (23.39) at Rockhampton. Capable of going close again. PAW STELLA (5) will be hard to beat with a drop in trip.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th over 498m at this track beaten 10 lengths (29.51) behind Canya Scarlet in a Grade 4/5 on August 18. Placed two back at this track. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (29.35) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 15 length sixth. Yet to win but has placed four times from this draw. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 380m at this track. Can't recommend against this lot.

Did a good job two starts back at Q Parklands to win by 0.8 lengths in 29.56, beating Oliver Go. Last start finished 4th over 515m at Sandown beaten 4 lengths (29.83) behind Wrongly Accused in a S/E Group 1 on August 29. Other runners look much more appealing.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (30.04) over 525m at Wagga. Has a squeeze box to navigate and needs to bounce back.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by a neck at Rockhampton (23.39) beating Blazing Early in a Free For All on August 26. Can make it two on the bounce.

Hit the frame last time at Rockhampton but the start prior was an impressive winner after leading throughout, scoring by 3 lengths in a Grade 4 at Rockhampton and recording a superb 23.49 over the 407m journey. Can feature on best figures.
