Townsville Race 5

Mitavite (Bm55)

Prize Money: $21,000

BUBBLES'N'FROTH (3) got the maiden out of the way when resuming before maybe suffering from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out. Winning hoop Stanley sticks in the irons and a return to form would not surprise. TURN BIRD (1) has strung two wins together on the bounce and is racing with a lot of confidence now. Can bring up the hat-trick here. KIDSTON (2) is yet to miss a drum in three attempts over this track and trip and will be rock-hard fit for this. Top-three credentials. HIT SNOOZE (7) is a two-time winner around this circuit and is usually thereabouts. In the mix. BRAVE INTENT (5) best of the rest.

Most recently got back early 7th of 13 at this track Bm55 on April 4 over 1200m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Turn Bird with 60kg at $4.40. The run before that 3rd of 9 at this track Bm60 on March 6 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Barmera with 57.5kg at $5.50. Rates highly and is among the leading chances.

Third-up today. First-up favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.0 len at this track Mdn-Sw March 14 over 1000m on a soft track defeating Bullseye Banjo with 58.5kg at $2.50. Second run from a spell 5th of 13 at this track Bm55 on April 4 over 1200m, slow going 2.25 len behind Turn Bird with 59kg at $3. Fitter and is among the winning hopes.

Comments
Most recently in a small field at this track Cl6-Sw on April 4 over 1400m, slow going 3 len behind Reggie's Boy carrying 57kg at $31. The race before that of 8 at this track Bm55 on March 22 over 1200m, slow going 5 len behind Ellie's Dream carrying 56kg at $31. Must improve off a last-start fourth over 1400m at this track to feature in the finish.
