Townsville Race 3

Jack Lynch

Prize Money: $2,800

HEAD WEST (3) could manage only fourth at this track last time but caught the eye when posting a fast 21.94 over 380m at this track the start prior. Has the ability and expected to go close again. SHINE ON SKI (7) finished seventh last time but just a few runs back broke the clock when winning over 380m at this track, taking a Grade 5 in a brilliant 21.77. Expecting another bold showing. MONEYBALL (2) was below best at his last start when 6th at this track following a second place finish (22.63) there two back. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Can figure in the finish. WEEONA SMILEY (1) surprised many when in the placings last start - deserves some thought.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (22.11) at big odds over 380m at this track. Boxed awkwardly and needs to bounce back.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2.25 lengths in 22.35, beating Pink Car. Last start finished 6th in a Grade 5 on January 17 over 380m at this track behind Go Forward Cathy beaten 6 lengths (22.51). Can't recommend in this field.

Missed the frame last start when seventh and beaten 6 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Better than last run and looks set to run well.
