Townsville Race 8

Pat Groves

Prize Money: $3,200

PIKA WAVE (4) boasts a strong record this course with eight wins and five minors from 23 tries. Scored by a neck last time (21.87) in a Free For All over 380m at this track. With a clean break looks hard to beat. JUDI STARLINE (1) turned in a plain performance last time when sixth at this track over 380m behind PIKA WAVE (22.34) in a Free For All. Can measure up this time. SHIAN PEACHES (3) recorded a neck win (21.90) in a Grade 4 last time at this track. Unbeaten in two runs from this draw. Looks one of the chances. EMGRAND DRIVE (6) is a last-start placegetter here at this trip - worth considering.

Good effort to win last start by one length over 380m at this track in a handy (21.89), beating Ashy Bear. Will find this a bit tougher, good win last start but looks tested in this difficult assignment.

Showed strong early pace and proved too slick around this track over 380m in 21.90, claiming a Grade 4 by a neck. Unbeaten in two starts from this draw. Winning chance.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 380m in 21.87 last start, beating Advika. Boasts a course and distance PB in a scintillating 21.51. Top chance.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by a nose in 21.68, beating Pika Wave. Last start finished 7th on March 17 over 380m at this track behind Pika Wave beaten 7 lengths (22.44) in a Free For All. Not keen this time.
