Townsville Race 3

Barry & Sharon Burnett Mdn F

Stake: $3,904

ZERO FORGING (8) was a last start winner (21.99) at this track in a Maiden and will jump from box 8 for the first time. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Great chance to get the job done again. FOOTLOOSE (6) has been in the frame at his last two runs, most recently when second (22.21) in a Maiden over 380m at this track. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. CONNECTICUT (3) shows ability but remains a maiden after 10 starts. Hit the frame again last start finishing second (22.57) at this track. Bold showing expected. ON TARGET (1) has top-three aspirations again after placing when making debut.

Comments

Turned in a sound debut over 380m at this track where he settled on speed and stuck on well to finish third (22.42). Further improved and drops down to the inside box this time. Has ability and worth including.

Is a 10 start maiden overdue for a win, hitting the frame last start when second (22.57) over 380m at this track. In the money at the last three runs. Expected to feature in the finish.

On debut last start won easily by 5 lengths at this track (22.22) beating Connecticut in a Maiden on July 10. Will find this tougher so looking elsewhere.

Yet to break through in seven runs, the latest effort a second over 380m at this track in 22.72. In the money at the last three runs. Capable of getting off the mark.
