Townsville Race 4 - Bet Nation
BIG PAPA PARTY (1) finds it hard to win. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing third (22.13) at this track. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Can find winning form. FIREBALL ERNIE (4) found the frame for the second consecutive time when narrowly beaten into second last time out (23.83) over 407m at Rockhampton. Can improve sharply here. DASHING DAMIRO (2) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (22.18) in a Grade 6 at this track. Has ability and can measure up. MISHAWAKA (6) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to atone.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 380m at this track. Can't make much of a case this time.

Was among the placegetters latest at Rockhampton when a one length second but did clock a solid 23.83 over the 407m trip. Expected to go close with a repeat of latest.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when second (22.03) over 380m at this track. Boxed out wide but is among the better hopes.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last four starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 380m at this track beaten 8 lengths (22.29) behind Hunter's Boy in a Grade 6 on May 22. Thereabouts recently and definitely worth including.
