Townsville Race 1 - In Memory Of Peter Groves
DEMISTER (2) is still a maiden after 20 runs but rarely far away, the latest filling a minor placing when second at this track. Leading chance again. HARRY BOY (5) was safely held last time out, finishing eighth at this track over 380m behind Hollywood Shadow (22.76) in a Maiden. Should be thereabouts. CATTYWAMPUS (4) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at this track over 380m behind Federal Saki (23.07) in a Maiden. Bold showing expected. MIZUKI MAGIC (8) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 498m at this track. Likely to struggle this time.

Lines up from box 4 for the first time after finishing a 19 length sixth at this track (23.07) in a Maiden. Has ability and should be around the money.

Has only been in the placings once from 11 starts. Last raced when fourth over 380m at this track six weeks ago. Needs to find a bit more.

Has finished fourth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 14 lengths behind Federal Saki over 380m. Look for improvement. Not out of it.
