Townsville Race 8

News Express Garbutt Pathways F

Prize Money: $3,200

VERRUCKT (8) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by 1.3 lengths at this track in a handy 21.98 beating GURGLE PIPE. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minor placings. Can measure up again. HARA'S BLUEY (2) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish second, beaten 0.8 lengths, (22.09) at this track. Winning chance. RUBY JUBY (1) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (22.33) at this track behind SALLY SAID in a P5. Has the pace to be prominent. Can feature again. GURGLE PIPE (7) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Turned in a good run last time, placing (22.09) at this track in a P5. Lines up from box 2 for the first time. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when second (22.07) over 380m at this track. Has a wide draw to navigate but can measure up.

Recorded a 1.3 lengths win (21.98) in a P5 last time at this track. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
