Townsville Race 5

Betdeluxe Townsville Wildcard H

Prize Money: $4,600

SOLOMON CAIN (7) is a promising dog in the frame at 20 of 56 starts including 18 wins and was in the minors again latest (28.66) over 498m at this track. Form here at this distance is sound. Drawn out but with clear running expected to go close. FEDERAL BULLET (6) three runs back clocked a powerful 28.52 win over 498m at this track then has found the minor money in two runs since. Has the ability and looks a key chance. MAXWELL RHODES (1) missed the frame last time but before three back recorded the quickest win (30.33) on the program at Rockhampton in a Grade 4/5. Expected to bounce back to best. BEDWORTH (2) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by one length in 28.79, beating Hidden Fury. Last start finished 5th in a Grade 5 on August 12 over 498m at this track behind Winnie Rumble beaten 12 lengths (29.24). Major threat on best form.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (28.65) over 498m at this track. Has a decent strike-rate off the draw and in the mix on her best form.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 380m at this track. Would be better placed in something easier.

Hit the frame at this track last time when a 2 length second but did record a powerful 28.72 over the 498m journey. Looms as the one to beat this time.

Flew the lids with a sensational early split but had to be content with second when clocking 28.66 over 498m at this track. Has run hot time here with a 28.45 PB at the distance. Key chance.

Missed the frame latest (28.89) when sixth over 498m at this track in a OPEN. Has performed well off the draw with a win and three places from seven starts. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.
