Townsville Race 6 - Koopa Olsen
SMOOTH BLAST (1) has been out of the placings last two but prior to that posted a speedy 21.85 win over 380m at this track. Should be in this for a long way. RAYMAR FOX (3) boasts a consistent overall record including four wins from 19 starts, the latest hitting the minor money when third (21.96) over 380m at this track. Goes well from this draw. Has the ability and rates a key chance this line-up. AVERAGE RETURN (4) sailed across from an outside draw last start to score an all-the-way win (22.36) at Ballarat in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 over 390m. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. TAKE AIM (2) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early split and led throughout to score when a 3.5 lengths winner (22.36) over 390m at Ballarat. Looks well placed and should be tough to beat.

In the money last time at this track (21.82) in a Grade 5, finishing a half a length second. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.
