Townsville Race 5 - BETNATION.COM.AU 4/5 Grade H
ASTON KINNIE (8) slotted in just off the lead from the wide draw last start and boxed on to finish third (28.85) at this track in a OPEN over 498m. Boasts a strong record from this draw with two wins and three minor placings from five starts. One of the leading chances. ASCEND KALMIA (1) stalked the lead from a middle draw and boxed on well to finish 10 lengths back in third (29.37) at this track in a Grade 5/6 over 498m. Expected to feature. NAVABI (5) was below best last time finishing eighth at this track, but prior to that had been racing well including a Grade 4/5 win two back at this track. Well placed here and can atone this time. DIFFERENT HERE (3) placed last time and is worth some thought.
