Townsville Race 10

News Express Garbutt

Prize Money: $2,400

HARA'S SERENA (2) looks close to win after hitting the frame last run (22.18) at this track in a Grade 5. Has first look at box 2 this time. Can go on with it. PRINCESS TOES (1) produced a moderate effort last time when sixth at this track over 380m behind Federal Sniper (22.60) in a Grade 5. The form from her last run stacks up well. Likely to play a prominent role. MISS TWO STEP (4) turned in a moderate effort last time when fifth at this track over 380m behind Federal Blast (22.51) in a Grade 5. Placed at her previous run. One of the main contenders. HARRY BOY (3) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.33) in a Grade 4, finishing a 6 length fourth. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Will need some luck to feature.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 380m at this track. This looks too tough.

Has finished eighth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 12 lengths behind White Car over 380m. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
