Townsville Race 12

Peter Groves Memorial H

Prize Money: $3,200

BILLY BUTTONS (1) carved over from wide out and boxed on strongly to finish a neck away in second (22.13) behind Farmor Left at this track. Leading chance again. NANGAR SNIPER (2) has missed the frame at his last two runs but could not have been more impressive the run prior in his blistering 19.66 win at Capalaba over 366m. Should be in this for a long way. FARMOR LEEWAY (8) filled a minor placing last start at Rockhampton behind Toss The Coin (23.93) in a Grade 3/4. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Must be included in calculations. HIPPY (4) recorded a commanding victory last time. Sure to run well again.

Good effort to win last start by 2.5 lengths over 380m at this track in a handy (22.02), beating Emgrand Flash. In winning form now and looks a major threat.
