Townsville Race 9 - A Mech Services
HUNTER'S BOY (7) has been out of the placings at his last two outings but shapes well for this if he can recapture his enormous win a few runs back, getting around this track over 380m in 21.73. Expected to push the clock again here. MISS PUMPKIN (6) produced a moderate effort last time when seventh at this track over 380m behind Tiny's Regret (22.49) in a Grade 5. Has never missed the frame from three starts from this draw, including a win. Must be included in calculations. ANOTHER BEAUTY (1) is better than last start when seventh (22.60) from Box 8 at this track over 380m. Should be thereabouts. HOLLYWOOD SHADOW (2) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can turn the form around.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 7th on May 22 over 380m at this track behind Smooth Blast beaten 10 lengths (22.60) in a Grade 5. Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (22.15) over 380m at this track. Drawn a inside box but needs to bounce back.

Was out of placings last time (22.73) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing eighth and beaten 15 lengths. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Will need the right run.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.49) in a Grade 5, finishing a 10 length seventh. Super consistent from the draw with a win and two places from three starts. Expected to be in the finish.

Latest effort finished 6th in a Grade 5 on June 2 over 380m at this track behind Even Backwards beaten 7 lengths (22.42). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.
