Townsville Race 3

Townsville Maiden 1000 H

Stake: $2,640

MISTER HUGO (8) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 8 lengths away in fifth (22.82). Was in the money the start prior. Good beginner but will need a little luck early crossing from an outside draw. Can make amends. ZYDECO (4) shows ability but remains a maiden after 11 starts. Is better than last start when out of the placings, finishing sixth (22.88) at this track. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. EMPTY SKY (3) has an honest record despite remaining a maiden after 11 starts. Gave a huge sight last time and went down narrowly when second. Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. Winning chance. FLYING JORDAN (1) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

At the last start finished 4th in a Maiden on April 11 over 380m at this track behind Three Hearts beaten 7 lengths (22.78). Good beginner and should be prominent off the inside draw.

Ran a better race when second behind Kewarra Beach at this track last start over 380m (22.53). Likely to play a major role.

Two runs so far have been ordinary, the latest when beaten 13 lengths into seventh over 380m at this track. Happy to risk in this.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th on April 11 over 380m at this track behind Three Hearts beaten 8 lengths (22.82) in a Maiden. Placed two back at this track. Recorded two placings in a row prior to the latest effort. Worth another chance.
