Townsville Race 6

Tim Mitchell

Prize Money: $3,800

HARA'S GHOST (5) ran the fastest on the card last time scoring by 3.5 lengths (28.85) at this track. Looks the one to beat. PINK CAR (1) has missed the placings at her last couple but was in the money three back when third (29.03) at this track in a Grade 5. Well placed here and can atone this time. LEMON SLICE (8) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Ashy Bear (29.08) in a Grade 4/5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Good beginner but will need a little luck early crossing from an outside draw. Expecting another good run. BIG EARS REGRET (2) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by half a length in 22.09, beating Sand Express. Last start finished 5th in a Restricted WIN on May 22 over 498m at this track behind He Played One beaten 6 lengths (29.27). Racing well and has to be included.

Missed the frame latest (29.60) when sixth over 498m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Will need some luck to feature.

Good performance to post a big 3.5 lengths win at this track over 498m (28.85) beating Big Ears Regret in Restricted WIN on May 15. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 498m at this track. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
