Townsville Race 5 - T.g.b.o.t.a
ASSASSINO (3) was out of the placings last time when fifth at this track (22.43) but scored three back at this track (21.82). Returns to a course where he has performed well. Has won two of four starts from this draw. Worth another chance. HARA'S HARPER (6) was failed to finish in a Restricted WIN two back then found trouble in the run and failed to finish at Q Lakeside last time. Has the ability and looks a key chance. HONEY BUNNY (1) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing second (29.66) at this track. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Will give a great sight again. HARA'S SONYA (2) was in the money last start despite a big quote and is likely to feature again.

Last start finished 5th in a Restricted WIN on March 6 over 380m at this track behind Pickin' Pixies beaten 8 lengths (22.43). Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (29.78) over 498m at this track. Drawn awkwardly. Looks to have the job ahead.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, can't enthuse on this occasion.
