Townsville Race 2

Garbutt News & Post Office

Stake: $2,640

THREE HEARTS (2) comes off a moderate effort last start, finishing fifth at this track over 380m behind Freddy Dodge (22.84). Looks the one to beat on her best form. ELECTRA SHADOW (1) boxed on the inside and gets chance to find form. Last time finished 6th on February 28 over 380m at this track behind Hara's Meryl beaten 8 lengths (22.67) in a Maiden. Comes through a solid form race last start. Expected to give a good account. MISTER HUGO (8) shows ability but remains a maiden after 10 starts. Although beaten into second last time was game in defeat finishing close to the winner. Well placed and gets his chance. GO THE BLUES (7) can feature with the right run. Something for the Multiples: HARA'S OSCAR (3)

Missed the frame when seventh (20.29) at Albion Park at last run and returns here after a three-and-a-half months break. Will need some luck to feature.

Has finished fifth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 7 lengths behind Hara's Meryl over 380m. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Has raced 10 times and is overdue for a win, the latest offering a second (22.39) over 380m at this track. Has hit the frame at the last two starts. Looks the testing material.
