Townsville Race 4 - Burdekin Vet Services 5/6 Grade H
I'M FREE (5) goes very well at the course with six wins and a placing from nine starts. Comes off a (21.69) win last time, scoring by 2 lengths in a Grade 3/4 over 380m at this track. Appeals as a leading chance in this. TILLY'S SON (1) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished third (22.39) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Bold showing expected. POPULAR MONSTER (4) turned in a plain run last time when sixth at this track over 498m behind Party Anytime (29.49) in a OPEN. Scored at her previous run. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Deserves plenty of respect. HARA'S JED (7) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to bounce back.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 380m at this track. Prepared to just watch this time.
