Townsville Race 6

Burdekin Vet Services 5Th Grade H

Stake: -

DRINK TIA (1) is struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three on end. Last start rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (22.15) at this track over 380m. Likely to be in the finish again. BLACK RIFLE (5) has mixed form a little and missed the frame the last two but was a Grade 5 winner three back (21.84) at this track over 380m. Well placed here and can atone this time. ON REPORT (8) has missed the frame at his last two but did run well three back when third (22.05) in a P5 at this track. Expected to do much better this time. FURIOUS PHANTOM (6) is always hard to beat when he races at this trip.

Hit the frame latest (22.15) when third at this track in a Mix 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed six times. Looks well placed and should feature.

Showed good improvement when third behind Lots Of Bugs at this track last start over 380m (22.34). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 498m. Last start finished last on July 29 over 498m at this track behind Maisie Moo Moo beaten 11 lengths (29.47) in a Grade 5/6. Can bounce back. One of the main chances.
