Townsville Race 5

Burdekin Vet Servces

Stake: $3,500

HARA'S MILLY (8) Clearly outclassed when 6th last run at the track but proven performer at this trip in the past. Shows good early pace. Very competitive this preparation. Winning hope. ASTON ELISHA (7) Showed promise when winning last start at the track. Can give this a shake. TIGER BAILEY (3) Underwhelming when 5th last run around here. Has the ability to take this out. EXOTIC RUBY (1) Came in 2nd last run here and drawn well. Should be swooping on the field late. Place chance.

Ran well when 2nd last run at this track and has the ideal draw. Finishes off strongly. Potential to run into a place.

Odds of $11.00 and ordinary performance when 7th last time at this track. Always seems to find the line well. Prefer in something a lot easier.

Started at $3.60 and unsatisfactory performance when 6th last run at this track but strong performer at this trip. Has early speed and positions nicely. Going well this preparation. Chance and can measure up.
