Townsville Race 11

Peter Groves Memorial H

Prize Money: $3,200

HOPE'S ZONE (6) produced a strong 19.58 when placed over 352m at Q Lakeside last start in a Free For All. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest. STORMY ROSE (1) failed to come into contention last start after drifting back at this track, but prior to that won by 2.75 lengths at this track (21.93) beating Hippy in a Mix 5 on August 15. The form from his last run stacks up well. Must be included in calculations. MOLLY EMGRAND (2) has hit the frame here at the last two runs, most recently finishing third beaten 4.5 lengths (22.08). Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from four starts. Deserves a win and gets her chance. TIME FOR TINA (7) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.

Comments

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 380m. Last start finished 6th over 380m at this track beaten 8 lengths (22.38) behind On Holidays in a Grade 3/4 on August 26. Expected to bounce right back. Hard to beat.

Has been in the money the last two runs. Finished third at this track in 22.08 last time but the start prior recorded a handy 21.96 over 380m finishing third at this track. Has the ability and expected to go close again.

Finished in the minors last time in a Free For All at Q Lakeside when a 1.5 lengths second but did run an excellent 19.58 for the 352m trip. Can measure up with a repeat of that effort.

Was a winner three back at this track then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when seventh (22.36) at this track. Rates well on best and expect a better run this time.
