Townsville Race 5 - Jack Lynch

SMOOTH BLAST (3) finished in the minors last time but only a few starts back pushed the clock when winning over 498m at this track, taking a Grade 5/6 in a quick 28.80. Has the ability and expected to go close again. HARA'S JED (7) has hit the frame here at the last two runs, most recently finishing third beaten 3.5 lengths (29.01). Good beginner but will need a little luck early crossing from an outside draw. Can measure up. BEN TANGO (1) was below best at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth at this track, but was among the placings at this track three back. Safe beginner and drawn well on the inside. Well placed here and should do much better. ZIPPING BUBBLES (6) ran good time (29.37) when third last start over 498m at this track, the second placing in a row. Solid beginner and with a good start can clear the tricky draw.
