Townsville Race 8

Prize Money: $3,200

TEX GUNN (2) is a smart dog who ran the fastest time on the card last time scoring by 6 lengths (21.40) at this track. Solid record here including nine wins. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. COLONEL'S RANGER (6) looks close to another win after finishing second from Box 3 last time (21.86) at this track. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Expected to be in this for a long way. TIGER BAILEY (7) boasts a strong record this journey with six wins and four minors from 17 tries. Hit the frame latest (21.96) when third at this track in a Grade 3/4. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. LORD EDDIE (1) hit the frame here last start and can sneak into the finish again.

Has been going well of late. Led and held on well to win comfortably by 6 lengths at this track (21.40) beating Colonel's Ranger in a Free For All on October 13. Suited by this draw and likes to rail. Ran the fastest time on the program in that last win. Follow up.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest finishing third (29.15) at this track. Has a low draw. Worth including.

Has finished fifth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 11 lengths behind Tex Gunn over 380m. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (21.86) at this track over 380m. Boasts a course and distance PB in a dazzling 21.54. Top chance.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 380m at this track. This will test.
