Townsville Race 7

In Memory Of Peter Groves 5Th Grade H

Prize Money: $2,400

VILLAIN OF FIRE (4) was long overdue after six placings in a row before a deserved win (22.32) last time at this track. Rates highly here and will go close. DON'T TELL SHILO (7) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when fifth at this track over 498m behind Party Anytime (29.23) in a Grade 5/6. Should be about the money. HIT AFTER HIT (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing eighth (22.73) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Can measure up this time. WADDA MOOLI (2) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.
