Townsville Race 7

Peter Groves 5Th Grade H

Prize Money: $2,400

NEMESIS (7) shapes nicely here coming off a dynamic 21.79 victory at this track over 380m. In winning form and can measure up again. HARA'S MERYL (1) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at this track over 380m behind NEMESIS (22.40) in a P5. Was in the money prior to that. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Has ability and can measure up. PRINCESS TOES (2) has mixed form recently, finishing sixth (29.63) in a OPEN at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Rates a winning chance on best. COLONEL'S DREAM (4) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished last in a P5 on February 6 over 380m at this track behind Nemesis beaten 8 lengths (22.40). Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Missed the frame latest (29.63) when sixth over 498m at this track in a OPEN. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 380m at this track. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in his races, Last start finished seventh over 498m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Hard to entertain this time.
