Townsville Race 11 - Happy Retirement Blazing Infrared
PANAMA LOCO (7) missed the frame latest when seventh at this track (22.57) but scored four back at this track (21.91). Can bounce back. MISS TWO STEP (8) was in the minor money with a speedy 21.90, finishing second in a Grade 4/5 at this track last start. In form and looks a leading player again. MADELINE RUPEE (2) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (22.52) at this track behind Good Odds Raven in a P5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Expected to be in the finish again. DON'T TELL SHILO (1) deserves plenty of thought over this trip.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (22.14) over 380m at this track. Aided by a low draw but will need the right run to feature.

Hit the frame at this track last time when a 3.5 lengths second but did record a slick 21.90 over the 380m journey. Looks the one to beat with a repeat of that effort.
