Townsville Race 7

Alan Olsen 5Th Grade H

Prize Money: $2,400

GIDGEE BUG (3) boasts a strong record this journey here with two wins and two minors from five tries. Scored by 4 lengths last time (21.76) in a Grade 6 over 380m at this track. Looks suited here and rates on top. HIT AFTER HIT (1) doesn't win out of turn. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when third (22.08) at this track. Will give a great sight again. TIME FOR TINA (2) was game in defeat off the inside draw last start, finishing second and beaten 2 lengths (21.93) behind George Jetson at this track. Goes well out of this box with a win and five minor placings. Leading chance. SHINE ON BRUISER (7) cannot be left out over a shorter journey.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (22.31) over 380m at this track. Drawn wide. Looks to have the job ahead.
