Townsville Race 8

Tgrc Australia Day Trophy F

Prize Money: $7,700

SAINTLY HIGHWAY (1) has a strong record this journey here with four wins and a minor from six starts. Below best last time at this track (29.08) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 0.8 lengths fourth. Expected to be in the finish. MOUSTACHE MICK (2) is worth forgiving last start after finishing sixth (29.38) from Box 6 at this track over 498m. Should be about the money. SHOWTIME ISAAC (5) has a strong record this trip with eight wins and four placings from 18 starts. Comes off a (21.58) win last time, scoring by 1.75 lengths in a Best 8 over 380m at this track.
