Townsville Race 9 - Garbutt News & Post Office 5Th Grade H

BRIDGE UP BABY (1) finds it hard to win. Finished in the money last time though when third (22.12) at this track. Good form should continue. TIJUANA TWINKLE (5) box seated before sticking on well to finish 2 lengths away in second (24.05) at Rockhampton in a Grade 4/5 over 407m. Expected to feature. ASTON KINNIE (3) looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (22.08) at this track in a Grade 4/5. Has first look at box 3 this time. Can feature again. ARKA CHIEF (4) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.53) in a Grade 5, finishing a 10 length fifth. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Looks one of the chances.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (22.13) over 380m at this track. Has a squeeze box to navigate and will need everything to go his way.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 407m at Rockhampton clocking 24.05. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.
