Townsville Race 5

Aussie Pet & Animal Travel

Stake: $4,104

ASTON BRADLEY (3) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (29.38) at this track behind Showtime Morris in a Restricted WIN. Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. Makes plenty of appeal. PROJECT ALICE (5) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 4 lengths (22.29) at this track. Solid beginner who can clear the tricky draw. Leading chance. BIRDIE'S CHARM (8) is a solid beginner and with a good start can clear the draw. Latest effort finished last over 380m at this track beaten 5 lengths (22.53) behind Cleo Blazer in a Grade 6 on June 13. Among the main chances. BIG KELCE (6) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 380m at this track. Not likely to feature on this occasion.
