Townsville Race 6

In Memory Of Poppy Ed Sampson

Prize Money: $3,800

BOGIE FRANK (7) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 3.5 lengths at this track in a handy 28.65 beating Reuben Cotter. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. DON'T TELL SHILO (1) clocked a new course and distance PB last time, finishing a 4.5 lengths third behind BOGIE FRANK in 28.95. Should be in this for a long way. FLAMING COMET (5) did a good job to finish third last time out over 380m at this track (22.05) in a Grade 5, the second top-three finish on the trot.

Has hit the frame the last couple. Finished third at this track latest but prior to that recorded an excellent 21.80 over 380m finishing second at this track. Worth including on run two back.
