Townsville Race 2 - Hara's Herbie At Stud
FEDERAL BLAST (4) goes very well over this track and trip including five wins. Recorded a 6 length win (21.77) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Expected to go close. SHE'S SPIRITED (1) goes very well at the distance with three wins and a placing from eight starts. Missed the frame latest (29.06) when fifth over 498m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Among the main chances. UTMOST (2) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on his superb win the start prior, getting around this track over 498m in 28.67. Must include on winning run two back. PANTHER POTTER (5) form at this course and distance reads well.

Could only manage eighth last time but had been in the money the two starts prior, most recently when a narrow second (21.95) over 380m at this track. Has a wide draw to navigate and will need to find best.
