Townsville Race 10 - Happy Retirement Blazing Infrared
FEDERAL ROCKET (2) had the drop on the lead from the squeeze box before taking over turning, drawing clear to score (29.05) at this track in a Grade 5 over 498m. Looks to have an edge on most of these. SUNSET BOY (1) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (22.58) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Won at his only start from this box. Cannot be taken lightly. NO MORE BEER (5) goes very well this trip starting 18 times for seven wins and eight minors. Missed the frame latest (19.14) when sixth over 350m at Q Straight in a Grade 3/4. Looks suited here and can measure up. HARPER SPILLER (6) cannot be left out despite racing here for the first time.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 6th in a Grade 5 on August 7 over 380m at this track behind Swing Shift beaten 10 lengths (22.58). Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 498m in 29.05 last start, beating Raccoon Rusty. Deserved winner last time after finishing in the money two on end prior to that. Can make it two on the trot.

Backs up after finishing 5th on August 18 over 380m at this track in a Grade 5. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Was out of placings last time (19.14) at Q Straight in a Grade 3/4, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths. Has two successes and two minors from six starts from box 5. Looks well placed and should feature.

Missed the frame last start when a 11 length eighth (24.46) at Bendigo. Previous form sound including a win three back at Shepparton. Looks a danger to the top few if returns to best form this time.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by one length at this track (22.05) beating Miss Emma May in a Grade 6 on August 7. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
