Townsville Race 4 - Betnation.com.au

GRINCH (8) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 4th (21.89) at this track. Should be very hard to beat this time. FORNER'S REIGN (6) shapes nicely here coming off a brilliant 21.74 win at this track over 380m. Harder here but expected to feature again. BAR ONE SMOKERS (4) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (22.03) last time in a Free For All at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Can measure up this time. DUNDEE COOPER (1) can find the frame without surprising.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th over 380m at this track beaten 2 lengths (21.89) behind Judi Starline in a Free For All on December 9. Placed two back at this track. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Has a maiden win to his credit but has been finding it hard to feature subsequently. Last raced when sixth over 380m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Didn't show up last start but give him another chance.
