Townsville Race 11 - Essery Racing
COTTON BALL BUZZ (1) has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 2.25 lengths second over 498m this track in 29.04. Good form should continue. WONG GLASS (7) boasts a strong record this course with three wins and three minors from nine tries. Placed last time (22.26) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten 5 lengths. Makes strong appeal on best. CANYA SCARLET (4) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Crab Pot (28.87) in a OPEN. Has the pace to be prominent. The form out of her last race has been franked. Expecting another good run. BEEP (8) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 2.25 lengths second (29.04) over 498m at this track and making it two placings on end. Has run blistering time here with a 21.71 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.

Was out of placings last time (22.47) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (28.87) over 498m at this track. Squeeze draw to overcome. One of the better hopes.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 2.5 lengths third but did clock a slick 21.90 over the 380m trip. Harder here and one for the multiples.

Working his way into winning form after his success on August 21 at this track over 380m. Last start was second over 380m in 22.26, behind Bodhi Buzz. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.
