Townsville Race 8 - Robert Olsen
MAPLE WAVE (1) is in hot form after clocking an excellent 21.79 victory two back then followed up with a 21.88 win at this track over 380m last time. Recent figures good for this and can measure up again. PIKA WAVE (2) boasts a strong record this course with seven wins and four minors from 21 tries. Below best last time at this track (22.89) in a Free For All, finishing a 14 length seventh. Looks well placed here and among the chances. ASTON ELISHA (7) finished fourth last time (22.07) at this track after winning at her previous two outings. Has a strong record from box 7, including two wins. Likely to play a prominent role. ZINA CORTEZ (5) is in the mix after placing here at this trip last time out.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (21.97) over 380m at this track. Boxed awkwardly and appears tested on latest effort.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 380m in 21.69. Followed that up with a minor placing over 380m at this track at Free For All a week ago. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a eighth over 380m at this track. Not keen, needs to lift.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 498m in 29.14. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 380m at this track at Free For All level. Look for improvement. Not out of it.
