Townsville Race 7 - Bet Nation Townsville Grand Prix H
TIPSY TESS (1) has a terrific record here with seven wins and two placings from nine starts. Missed the frame latest (30.29) when fifth over 510m at Rockhampton in a OPEN. Rates a leading player. GUS THE GREAT (7) three runs back clocked an excellent 28.60 win over 498m at this track then has found the minor money in two runs since. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. BE UNITED (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (29.10) last time in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Better than last start and can bounce back. KASEY'S WAY (8) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by one length at this track (21.91) beating King And I in a OPEN on May 26. Failed to threaten last start and looks tested again.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (29.37) in a Grade 3/4, finishing a 8 length sixth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Others appear better placed.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 498m at this track. Not going well enough. Needs to lift.

Good effort to win last start by one length over 498m at this track in a handy (29.08), beating Cawbourne Slick. Has run blistering time here with a 28.59 PB at the distance. Must include if he recaptures that form.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a 2.75 lengths second over 510m Rockhampton in 29.93. Should be right in the finish.
