Townsville Race 10

Sunny Hussey Smith

Prize Money: $2,800

RACCOON ROGER (1) boasts a strong record this journey here with four wins and five minors from 12 tries. Placed last time (21.93) at this track in a Grade 4, finishing third and beaten one length. Expected to be in the finish. MISS PUMPKIN (8) three runs back clocked a solid 21.92 win over 380m at this track then has found the minor money in two runs since. Should be in this for a long way. ASCEND KALMIA (2) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing seventh (22.38) in a OPEN at this track. Form here at the trip sound including four wins. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. BUG ME MORE (6) is a surprise last-start placegetter who should be thereabouts.

Latest effort finished 7th on September 1 over 380m at this track behind Swift Cannon beaten 10 lengths (22.38) in a OPEN. Last couple have been below par. Deserves another chance.

Won two starts back won at this course over 380m. Couldn't reproduced the effort last start when she finished 4th over 380m at this track beaten 1.5 lengths (21.96) behind Federal Galaxy in a Grade 4 on September 8. Others read better.
