Townsville Race 6 - Burdekin Vet Services

HE PLAYED ONE (1) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at this track over 380m behind Packham Rose (22.23) in a Grade 5. Can make amends. LEMON SLICE (4) hit the ground running from the squeeze draw with a slick early split, holding on for a minor placing when third and beaten 5 lengths at this track over 498m in 29.01. Can measure up. COMPLEX THINKING (7) slotted in just off the lead from the wide draw last start and boxed on to finish second (28.96) at this track in a Grade 5/6 over 498m. Bold showing expected. RUXTON FLAME (2) cannot be written off despite a miss here at his latest outing.
