Townsville Race 2 - Peter Groves Memorial H

ASHY BEAR (2) has been a little hard to follow, finishing out of the placings latest but was in winning form two back scoring in a Grade 4 at this track. Key player on best and expected to bounce back. HOLLY MAGIC (8) drawn the outside box and could get a clear run. Was below best last time when 8th and beaten 10 lengths at this track (22.51). Goes very well at course and distance boasting nine wins. Has ability and can atone. BIG EASY AL (4) comes off a big run when third in a solid 21.60 at this track over 380m. This is tougher but looks a leading chance again. BUG ME MORE (3) hit the frame here last time and looks a chance again.
