Townsville Race 5 - Garbutt Self Service Store Pathways F

TROPICAL BALT (1) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Finished second (22.26) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Deserves serious consideration. HALF DAY HERO (2) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, breaking through last time at this track over 380m. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. HEIDI HEART (7) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 5 lengths at this track in a handy 22.02. Capable of going well again. EUGENE (8) is among the chances again if he runs up to the latest effort.
