Townsville Race 9 - DOWNLOAD THE BET NATION APP 5Th Grade H
COMPLEX THINKING (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (22.17) in a Grade 5 at this track. Should bounce back. HARA'S SCARLET (2) has been a little hard to follow, finishing out of the placings latest but was in winning form two back scoring in a Restricted WIN at this track. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. TAKE AIM (3) has missed the frame at his last two but did run well three back when second (25.53) in a Grade 5 at Shepparton. Can improve sharply here. GEORGE JETSON (7) returns here as an each-way chance.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and tends to spot them a start in his races, The latest effort was a 15 length seventh over 380m at this track. Needs to find a bit more.
