Townsville Race 2

Ladbrokes Odds Surge Plate (C3)

Stake: $25,300

CHARTWELL (3) got the job done around this circuit last time out when heavily supported and is sure to have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. Can continue the winning form. BARMERA (1) has a handy record here with a win and four seconds from just six starts and rarely puts in a poor one. Best figures measure up. BETTER THAN WORDS (4) didn't feature in much stronger company at the latest effort but the form prior was good enough to play a role in a race like this. Worth another chance. HANGIN' AROUND (2) has placed two from two over this course and distance and will be at peak fitness now from the inside alley. Don't discount lightly. TIME TO PROPHET (5) rounds out the selections.

Most recently tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 12 at this track Cl3-Sw on March 22 over 1400m, slow going nose behind Betta Al carrying 60kg at $5. The start before that won by 1.1 len at this track Bm60 March 6 over 1400m defeating Acclimatise carrying 58.5kg at $7. Another win is on the cards.

Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track 3&4yo Hcp on March 27 over 1400m, on heavy track; head behind Arguable carrying 55kg at $9. The race before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 8 at this track Bm65 on March 14 over 1400m, on a slow track; head behind Herne Hill carrying 57.5kg at $5. Honest and cannot be underestimated.

Last start second last of 16 at Gold Coast Qtis Jewel 3Ysw on March 15 over 1200m, 10 len behind Hearts Are Better carrying 55kg at $31. The run before that was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 1.1 len at this track 3yo SW February 20 over 1200m defeating I'lltellyouso with 55kg at $1.95. Ready to peak after four runs back and shouldn't be far away.
