Townsville Race 3 - Essery Racing
GENGAR WAVE (1) made contact with another runner and could manage only a distant fifth (22.35) in a Grade 4 over 380m at this track. Looks the one to beat on best. HE'S PEEKING (2) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive before that in his slick 21.91 win at this track over 380m. Top win two back and rates a key player again. PARTY ANYTIME (8) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 1.5 lengths win at this track in a handy 21.75. Outside box to overcome but likes the trip. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Bold showing expected again. ASTON JABBER (7) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 380m at this track. Can't recommend against this lot.

Solid performance to win by a nose at this track over 498m (29.04) beating Bar One Smokers in P5 on February 3. Boasts a course and distance PB in a scintillating 21.53. Must include.
