Townsville Race 11

Starline Express At Stud

Prize Money: $2,400

FEDERAL BLAST (1) goes very well over this track and trip including three wins. Comes off a (21.87) win last time, scoring by 4 lengths in a Grade 5 over 380m at this track. Rates on top and should go close. SMOOTH BLAST (8) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at his last four runs. Last start finished 3rd in a Grade 5/6 on March 31 over 498m at this track behind She's Spirited beaten 2.5 lengths (29.02). Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Hard to beat again. SHINE ON SKI (2) turned spotting a big start finishing eighth (23.74) last time in a Grade 4 at this track. Comes through a solid form race last start. Expected to give a good account. HIGH GEAR MARIA (7) is always a threat when she races at this track and distance.

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at his last couple, most recently over 380m at this track in a handy 21.87 beating Mizuki Starline. Yet to be beaten in two starts out of this box. Sure to go well.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (22.08) over 380m at this track. Drawn close to the inside. Has ability and should run well.

Bounced back last start after failing to finish two starts back when she finished 3rd on April 7 over 380m at this track behind Assassino beaten 5.5 lengths (22.30) in a Grade 5. Likely to struggle this time.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last four starts. Last time out finished 2nd on April 2 over 380m at this track behind Lenard Clyde beaten 7 lengths (22.07) in a Grade 5. Looking to others this time.

Missed the frame last time but prior to that was in the money twice in a row including a narrow loss at big odds two back when second over 380m at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw and will need to find best.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 380m in 22.09. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when eighth over 380m at this track at Restricted WIN level. Can bounce back. One of the main chances.

Racing well without winning, recording four minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (29.02) over 498m at this track. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Expected Early Speed:Backmarker
