Townsville Race 8

Bet Nation Townsville Young Guns F

Prize Money: $7,700

HE'S PEEKING (1) hit the ground running to win over the 380m at this track two runs back then raced on speed again when finishing second at this track last start. Can go on with it. MICK'S BELLE (6) is an honest type rarely out of the money, scoring at this track (28.45) last time and making it three straight wins. Is yet to taste defeat at this course. Meets a moderate line up and should run well. LENARD CLYDE (8) was in the placings last time but prior to that he ran a dynamic 28.60 win over 498m at this track. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. LEMON SLICE (7) is one of the chances after a minor prize at this track and distance last time.

Comments

Won two starts back over 380m at this track. Last start he finished 2nd in a OPEN on February 24 over 498m at this track behind Kej Stefani beaten 0.8 lengths (28.90). Draw likely to suit. Brought a two-start winning streak to an end last time with the minor placing. Expected to feature again.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest finishing third (28.91) at this track. Has a low draw. One of the better hopes.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest when third (28.95) over 498m at this track. Squeeze draw to overcome. Has to do a bit more.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 2nd on February 24 over 498m at this track behind Mick's Belle beaten 3.5 lengths (28.68) in a OPEN. Although beaten last time still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with her.

Comments

Finished in the placings last time but the run prior he was an eye-catching winner scoring by 1.75 lengths in a OPEN at this track and clocking an outstanding 28.60 for the 498m trip. Looks the one to beat on win two back.
