Townsville (G) Race 8

T.g.b.o.t.a 5Th Grade F

Stake: $3,520

MONEYBALL (1) won again in quick time recording back to back wins at this track over 380m (21.72). Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Hard to fault his recent form and can win again. INSTINCTIVELY (8) is on a hot streak recording a 21.65 win over 380m at this track last start following on from a dynamic 21.62 victory at this track over 380m the start prior. Harder here but expected to feature again. BAROSKI (2) could manage only third at this track last time but impressed when posting a flying 21.80 over 380m at this track the start prior. Expecting another bold showing. MARLEY EMGRAND (3) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at her latest outing at this circuit.
