Townsville Race 8 - In Memory Of Edward Samson 5Th Grade F

DRINK TIA (1) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 2.75 lengths at this track in a handy 21.99. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Can make it back-to-back wins. FEDERAL FURY (2) recorded a one length win in a Grade 5 last time 22.16 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. Harder here but expected to feature again. MAD ATTITUDE (3) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 1.5 lengths at this track in a handy 22.06 beating ARKA CHIEF. Significant danger. FUEL THE FIRE (4) impressed last start, winning in good time. Must include.
