Townsville Race 8 - Bet Nation Townsville Young Guns F
GIDGEE BUG (1) is a handy dog who jumped from box 2 last time out and scored by 2.5 lengths at this track (21.52). Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Ideally placed to take this out. PIKA WAVE (2) has a strong record this track and trip with five wins and three placings from 13 starts. Recorded a 0.8 lengths win (21.51) in a OPEN last time at this track. Looks well placed here and among the chances. STARRY RAYMAR (4) in the money last time at this track (21.55) in a OPEN, finishing a 0.8 lengths second. Makes strong appeal on best. VELOCITY SMOLDER (7) won in smart time most recently. Must include.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 380m in 21.86. Followed that up with a minor placing over 380m at this track at OPEN a week ago. Not suited by wide draw, not far from winner last time but has the job ahead here.
