Townsville Race 1 - Essery Racing
STOKEY THE BEAR (2) makes his debut without a trial but profiles well for first outing. Can kick off with a winning run. MISS TARGET (7) has her first outing without a trial but profiles nicely for this. Ratings suggest a place chance. DASH STRATUS (3) has her first outing without a trial but profiles nicely for this. Worth keeping a close eye on the market. MALI'S BIG BOY (1) collected a minor prize last start over this track and distance - must be considered.

Good effort last time when third (22.56) over 380m at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Prefer others.

Last start finished sixth over 380m at this track, beaten 8 lengths (22.86) behind Connecticut in a Maiden on August 4. Can't recommend against this lot.

Has finished fourth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 8 lengths behind Major Swing over 380m. Can't make much of a case this time.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 380m at this track. Prepared to overlook.
