Townsville Race 9

Party Creek Kennels 5Th Grade H

Stake: $2,640

TUTA KING (5) showed blistering pace early and gave a sight when in the minors, beaten 3 lengths over 407m Rockhampton in 24.35. Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to his name from eight starts. Winning claims. SWING SHIFT (1) was a last start winner (22.18) at this track in a Novice race and will jump from box 1 for the first time. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. EUGENE (3) was out of the placings last time when sixth at Rockhampton (30.63) but scored four back at this track (29.25). Won at his only start from this draw. Has ability and is one of the better chances. HARA'S HOLLY (2) will make her presence felt following a brief layoff.

Improved sharply when second behind Federal Fury at Rockhampton last start over 407m (24.35). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Could only manage eighth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (22.18) over 380m at this track. Has a wide draw to navigate and will need the right run to feature.
