Townsville Race 9

Betnation.com.au

Stake: $2,880

ASTON ELIJAH (7) Disappointing effort when 6th last start at this venue. Has early speed and positions nicely. No shock to see a win. ENZOLA (4) Tidy run when 3rd last time at this track. Should come to hand quickly. Worth a ticket. VERRUCKT (9) Came in 4th last start around here. Should bounce back. Goes close. ELLEN ROSE (5) Disappointing run when 7th last run at Q1 Lakeside. Honest enough to be an each way player.

Odds of $1.75 and unimpressive effort when 6th last start at this venue. Expecting to settle positively. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.
