Townsville Race 8

Preh We Win Racing 5Th Grade H

Stake: $2,592

BAROSKI (8) doesn't win out of turn but looks close to breaking through. Has hit the frame at her last four runs, the latest finishing third (30.53) at Rockhampton. Has a good record here including four wins. The form from her last run stacks up well. Sure to be about the mark. HERBIE JENKINS (2) turned in a fair 5th placed finish last time at this track over 380m (21.98). Key runner on best form. GIFTED JASPER (1) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (24.41) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Rockhampton. Well placed here and should do much better. ARKA CHIEF (3) hasn't been far away, finishing in the money twice in a row including last time in a Grade 5 at this track over 380m.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 380m at this track. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Strong performance to win by 2.75 lengths at Rockhampton over 407m (23.98) beating Ellen Rose in Grade 6 on July 2. Hard to recommend this time.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (24.45) over 407m at Rockhampton. Tough draw to overcome but is worth plenty of thought.

Has been consistent, placing at her last 4 starts. Latest effort finished 3rd in a Grade 5/6 on July 9 over 510m at Rockhampton behind Toss The Coin beaten 3 lengths (30.53). Has run blistering time here with a 21.8 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.
