Townsville Race 8 - Aussie Pet & Animal Travel

SOUTHPAW MCGRAW (2) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th (28.90) at this track. Goes well out of this box with a win and six minor placings. Ready to return to form. ZINA CORTEZ (1) caught the eye when posting a powerful 21.69 over 380m at this track three back then has hit the frame in both runs since. Should be in this for a long way. PIKA WAVE (8) comes off a big run when second in a swift 21.68 at this track over 380m. Bold showing expected again. ADVIKA (6) was strongly fancied last time but finished second (21.84), beaten 2 lengths. The form out of last race has been strong. Overdue and expected to feature again.
