Townsville Race 13

Binks And Marlene Walker H

Stake: $2,880

MICK'S BELLE (2) Finished 5th last start around here. Giving another chance here but will be down in distance. Should muster plenty of early speed. Racing consistently this preparation. Must respect. SAND EXPRESS (3) Ran 4th last start here. Looking past the last run. Has the ability to figure. HARPER SPILLER (1) Missed by a narrow margin last start at this track and has drawn the rails. Producing consistent results this campaign. Suggest each way. SWANKY FRANKY (4) Clearly outclassed when 7th last time at the track. Keep an eye on the market.

Distance: 380m

Close to claiming the win last start at this track and can save some energy from the trap. In a purple patch of form since coming back from a break. Very tidy performer.

Started $2.70 and came in 5th last start at the track. Giving another chance here but back to a shorter trip. Shows good early pace. Tracking very well this preparation. One of the punters top hopes.
