Townsville Race 9 - Nixe Olsen
ADVIKA (1) had won three starts on end leading into last time when strongly fancied but could only manage second (21.82) at this track. Makes plenty of appeal. I'M FREE (4) shapes nicely here coming off a blistering 21.69 victory at this track over 380m. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. CUBAN EIGHT (2) turned in a solid run last start over 380m at this track finishing 5th and beaten only 4 lengths (22.07). Form here at the trip sound including 17 wins. Boasts a strong record from this draw with six wins and two minor placings from 13 starts. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. CASH PIRATE (3) is worth some thought after placing last start.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 0.8 lengths second at this track but did record an excellent 21.74 for the 380m trip. Can measure up with a repeat of latest.

Strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a 0.8 lengths win at this track over 380m in 21.69. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on her best form.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 3.5 lengths in 21.76, beating Daniel Sparkles. Last start finished 4th in a Grade 3/4 on February 17 over 380m at this track behind He's Peeking beaten 2.5 lengths (21.97). Can't recommend her in this.
