Townsville Race 5

Brian & Hazel D'arcy

Prize Money: $2,400

CLEO BLAZER (1) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten second (22.20) in a Grade 6 at this track last time out. With a good start should be able to take advantage of the rails draw. Can turn form around here. HARA'S SERENA (8) turned in a solid run last start over 380m at this track finishing 5th and beaten only 4.5 lengths (22.46). Good beginner but will need a little luck early crossing from an outside draw. Can measure up this time. THREE HEARTS (5) broke her maiden last start by a nose at this track over 380m (22.26). Expecting another bold showing. FREDDY DODGE (6) was a surprise last-start placegetter with solid claims again.

In the money last time at this track (22.20) in a Grade 6, finishing a half a length second. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed five times. Looks well placed and should feature.

Strong performance to win by a neck at this track over 380m (22.50) beating Empty Sky in Maiden on April 11. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 4 lengths in 21.97, beating Summer Sand. Last start finished last on April 11 over 380m at this track behind Hara's Meryl beaten 21 lengths (23.63) in a Grade 6. Prepared to risk this time.

Won two starts back at this track over 380m in 22.45. Followed that up with a minor placing over 380m at this track at Grade 6 eight days ago. Solid beginner and will be tough to beat with any luck from the tricky draw.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (22.24) over 380m at this track. Tough draw to overcome and needs to find best form to feature.
