Townsville Race 5

T.g.b.o.t.a

Prize Money: $2,400

SAND EXPRESS (1) carved over from wide out and boxed on strongly to finish half a length away in second (22.12) behind Big Ears Regret at this track. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Can find winning form. BLUE MOON PARTY (2) has hit the frame here at the last two runs, most recently finishing second beaten 6 lengths (22.15). Overdue and is among the main hopes. OPTIONAL (8) missed the frame and safely held latest finishing 6th at this track following on from a win (21.89) there the start prior. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. STRIKER STAR (3) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 498m at this track. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
