Townsville Race 5

Townsville Derby H

Stake: $5,612

TAKEOVER TARGET (1) goes very well this course and distance starting 16 times for seven wins and four minors. Was out of the placings last time (28.72) at this track in a OPEN, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths. Expected to be in the finish. FIREBALL ERNIE (4) continues to race well but is struggling to break through, placing at his last four runs. Last time finished 3rd over 498m at this track beaten 4 lengths (29.36) behind FIRST ON BASE in a Restricted WIN on September 18. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in three starts. Well placed and gets his chance. ROMAN PARTY (8) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 380m (22.40). Has ability and can measure up. CANYA WOW ME (2) cannot be underestimated.

Comments

Missed the frame last time but the start prior was an eye-catching winner scoring by 5.5 lengths in a OPEN at this track and clocking a dazzling 28.31 over the 498m trip. Rates a top chance if runs up to time two back.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (30.42) over 510m at Rockhampton. Drawn a inside box but needs to bounce back.

Placed last time (29.36) at this track in a Restricted WIN, finishing third and beaten 4 lengths. Yet to score but has placed each of three runs from this draw. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 1.3 lengths third at this track but did record a fast 28.85 over the 498m trip. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.

Backs up after winning by 3 lengths at this track (29.10) beating Cotton Ball Buzz in a Restricted WIN on September 18 four days ago. This is much harder assignment and he needs to find another gear.
