Townsville Race 10

Hara's Herbie At Stud

Prize Money: $2,800

PACKHAM ROSE (3) goes very well this course and distance starting six times for two wins and two minors. In the money last time at this track (21.89) in a Grade 3/4, finishing a half a length second. Appeals as a leading chance in this. ASSASSINO (8) boasts a strong record this journey here with four wins and three minors from 11 tries. Placed last time (21.92) at this track in a Grade 3/4, finishing third and beaten 0.8 lengths. Looks suited here and can measure up. ASTON KINNIE (2) jumped from this same draw and was close to the lead throughout before boxing on well and holding a neck second (21.70) at this track over 380m in a Free For All. Worth following up. CHARLI'S BEGONIA (1) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (22.46) at big odds over 380m at this track. Has the inside draw and is in the mix.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won by 1.5 lengths at this track (22.16) beating Nuka in a Grade 4 on July 28. Happy to risk this time.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 2.25 lengths second at this track but did record an excellent 21.75 for the 380m trip. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start comfortably by 5.5 lengths at Rockhampton (23.56) beating Bushman's Archie in a Grade 4 on August 5. Among the chances and worth following up.
