Townsville Race 5

Cheapa Auto Spares 5Th Grade H

Stake: $2,592

FUEL THE FIRE (1) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing third behind Express Pack (22.06) in a Grade 5. Led around the bend before fighting on well and should give a sight. One of the leading chances. TANK ENGINE (2) latest effort finished 4th in a Grade 5 on June 24 over 498m at this track behind Hara's Cookie beaten 11 lengths (29.45). Looks well placed here and among the chances. CAWBOURNE SLICK (3) finished well back at Wentworth Park last time when a 11 length sixth (30.47) but scored three back at Wentworth Park (30.27). The form out of last race has been strong. Cannot be taken lightly. BAR ONE SMOKERS (8) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (29.45) in a Grade 5, finishing a 11 length fourth. Has five wins and three placings from 13 starts from the draw. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Missed the frame last start when fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths at Rockhampton. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Has ability but this tough and will need some luck to feature.
