Townsville Race 5

Bet Nation Townsville Cup H

Prize Money: $8,000

NO MORE BEER (1) scored by a nose last time (21.81) in a Grade 5 over 380m at this track. Has already won two times from this draw. Rates a leading player. RIO RAGNAR (3) is in hot form with back to back wins at this track, running a lightning 28.37 two back following up with 28.71 last time. Must include on winning run two back. ATOMIC TIGER (4) is a talented type who notched his 9th career success when too good (28.72) at this track last time. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Expecting another bold showing. HUNTER'S BOY (2) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to bounce back.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a nose over 380m at this track in a handy 21.81, beating Harper Spiller. Well suited by the draw. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (28.57) at big odds over 498m at this track. Aided by a low draw and is among the better hopes.

Has been in a purple patch of form, putting three wins together. Had plenty of support last start when he won comfortably by 9 lengths at this track (28.71) beating Blue Moon Party in a Restricted WIN on August 31. Has run hot time here with a 28.37 PB at the distance. Key chance.

Missed the frame last time but was narrowly beaten two back when second (25.50) over 450m at Grafton. Has a decent strike-rate from the draw and is worth plenty of thought.
