Townsville Race 4

Tony Glover

Prize Money: $4,600

HOPEFULLY FAST (4) has a strong record this track and trip with seven wins and seven placings from 16 starts. In the money last time at this track (21.85) in a Grade 4, finishing a 3.5 lengths third. Appeals as a leading chance in this. SHE'S SAINTLY (1) has a strong record this track and trip with two wins and three placings from six starts. Was out of the placings last time (30.44) at Q Parklands in a OPEN, finishing fourth and beaten 9 lengths. Looks well placed here and among the chances. SMOOTH BLAST (7) shapes nicely here coming off a dynamic 28.44 victory at this track over 498m. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. ASTON KINNIE (2) showed plenty of dash to record a last start win. Hard to beat again.

Missed the frame latest (30.44) when fourth over 520m at Q Parklands in a OPEN. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed five times. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a neck win at this track over 380m in 21.65. Expected to run well again.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 3.5 lengths third but did clock a sharp 21.85 over the 380m journey. Rates a top chance with a repeat here.

Missed the frame latest (22.30) when sixth over 380m at this track in a Grade 5. Has four minors from eight starts from box 5. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Lines up chasing another win after scoring over 498m at this track in 28.44, set up by a fast early sectional. Winner last start in the quickest time on the card. Worth following.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest at big odds finishing third (28.75) at this track. Jumps from a wide draw. Will need plenty of luck.
