Townsville Race 1 - Aussie Pet & Animal Travel

EXPLOSIVE BALBOA (2) is yet to break through in six starts but has run a number of placings. Continues to race well without winning, finishing in the money at the last three runs. Deserves a win and gets his chance. SLEEK ZEKE (7) has an honest record despite remaining a maiden and overdue for a win, having placed eight of 19 career runs. Has hit the frame at the last four starts. Winning chance. HARA'S SONYA (6) shows ability but remains a maiden after seven starts. Is better than last start when out of the placings, finishing fourth (22.79) at this track. One of the main contenders. Something for the Multiples: ELECTRA SHADOW (8)
