Townsville Race 5 - Bet Nation Townsville Young Guns H
MICK'S BELLE (2) is in top form, scoring by 5 lengths (21.71) over 380m at this track and making it back to back wins. In sparkling form and looks the one to beat again. GIDGEE BUG (1) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (29.29) from Box 6 at this track. Hard to beat again. SHE'S SPIRITED (3) drew an outside box and was game in defeat when only 1.75 lengths from the winner Lenard Clyde in second(28.71) at this track. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Hard to beat again. LEMON SLICE (6) was in the money last start and likely to feature again.

Impressive performance leading throughout to post a big 5 lengths victory in a Grade 5 last start at Rockhampton, clocking a solid 23.70 over the 407m trip. In form and must include in calculations at odds.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 380m in 21.88. Followed that up with a minor placing over 380m at this track at Grade 4 three weeks ago. Hard to envisage a win.
