Townsville Race 3

Prize Money: $4,200

BUG ME MORE (7) has recorded back to back wins, the quickest two back at this track in 28.58. Got the money at her only try from this box. Can continue on with her winning form. GIDGEE BUG (3) was in traffic last time here and fell. Can do much better this time. MOUSTACHE MICK (6) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (29.37) in a OPEN at this track. Has the ability to give this a shake. ZINA CORTEZ (1) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Failed to finish the race over 380m at this track on October 7. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Strong performance to score by a 0.8 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at this track, recording a speedy 28.89 over the 498m journey. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.
