Townsville Race 5 - Cheapa Auto Spares

GRINCH (1) goes very well this course and distance starting 23 times for eight wins and four minors. Missed the frame latest (29.77) when fourth over 498m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Looks suited here and rates on top. COOL BLUE STAR (2) boasts a strong record this course with seven wins and four minors from 15 tries. Comes off a (21.71) win last time, scoring by one length in a Best 8 over 380m at this track. Can feature in the finish. JIMMY ROO (7) was out of placings last time (22.00) at this track in a Best 8, finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Among the main chances. GOOD ODDS RASCAL (3) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.
