Townsville Race 2

In Memory Of Peter Groves

Stake: $3,172

BODHI BUZZ (2) Initial appearance at the races for trainer Rhonda Essery. Betting as a guide. MAJOR SWING (5) Nice run when 2nd last time at this venue. Always seems to find the line well. Must respect. MUPPET CENTRAL (8) Only fair when 7th last start at the track but will try to take advantage of the draw. Goes very close. QUICK TO PARTY (3) Mediocre performance when 7th last start around here. Must come into consideration.

At $61.00 was nothing special when 6th last start at this venue but has drawn to do little work. Dropping in distance. Hard to see it being competitive today.

Was $16.00 and clearly outclassed when 8th last run around here. Should come to hand quickly. Has some claims.

Finished 2nd last time here. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Definitely worth considering.

Started $16.00 and came in 5th last run at this venue. Likely to be well placed early. Slight prospect.
