Townsville Race 9 - Essery Racing
PANTHER POTTER (8) was safely held in tougher company last start at this track, but prior to that won comfortably by 9 lengths at this track (21.77) beating Need A Tow in a Grade 5 on March 13. Has claims if she runs up to expectations. SMOOTH BLAST (7) comes off a good 28.79 placing at this track over 498m. Smart time latest and looks a key chance on that form. GIFTED JASPER (1) produced a moderate performance last time when fifth at this track over 380m behind Federal Saki (22.48) in a Grade 5. Likely to play a prominent role. SHE'S SNAPPY (3) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Missed the frame latest (22.29) when fourth over 380m at this track in a Grade 5. Placed at all two starts from this draw. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Looks close to another win after his success on March 3 at this track over 498m. Last start was second over 498m in 28.79, behind Federal Tommy. Should be right in the finish.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 380m. Last start finished last in a Grade 5 on March 20 over 380m at this track behind Federal Sniper beaten 8 lengths (22.55). Looks a strong winning hope.
