Townsville (G) Race 7

Townsville Young Guns H

Prize Money: $3,200

FEDERAL BULLET (7) recorded a smart win over 380m at this track in a scintillating 21.53 last start. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time. FARMOR BACARDI (1) missed the frame latest when fifth at this track (22.14) but scored four back at Rockhampton (23.74). Yet to score from this box but has never missed the frame in two starts. Should be thereabouts. BLACK RIFLE (2) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at his last four runs. Last time finished 2nd on May 23 over 380m at this track behind Aston Atkins beaten a nose (22.10) in a Grade 6. Can measure up. MAD BUNCH (8) must be included on latest effort.

Strong performance to score by a nose in a Grade 5 last start at this track, recording a quick 21.96 over the 380m journey. Harder here but will be in this for a long way.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 4 length second but did clock a solid 21.96 over the 380m trip. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.
