Townsville Race 6 - Townsville Derby H

GROUND CONTROL (5) is a progressive type who recorded his 13th career win last time out (21.62) at this track. Form here at this distance is sound. Has a strong record out of this box with four wins and two minor placings from eight starts. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. STARRY RAYMAR (1) is a talented dog who is a winner of 10 races but missed the frame last time when sixth at this track (29.23). Solid record here at the distance winning three races. Was a winner at his only start from this draw. Cannot be left out. HE'S PEEKING (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (22.14) in a Free For All at this track. Has won two of four starts from this draw. Expected to feature in the finish. COTTON BALL BUZZ (7) must be included on latest effort.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 3 lengths over 380m at this track in a handy 21.62, beating Ascend Kalmia. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on his best form.
