Townsville Race 5 - News Express Garbutt
FOOTLOOSE (4) hit the frame latest (29.22) when second at this track in a Restricted WIN. Already a winner from this draw. Appeals as a leading chance in this. RUBY JUBY (1) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, hitting the frame latest when 2nd at this track over 380m. Overdue and is among the main hopes. QUEST FOR BUZZ (8) copped a bump in the run and finished a well held 6 lengths sixth (22.32) last time in a Grade 5 at this track over 380m. Better than last start and can bounce back. ROCKET TATTOO (6) form at this distance reads well.

Could manage only fourth last time but caught the eye the start prior when he clocked a solid 21.88 over 380m finishing second at this track. Prefer others this time.

Was out of placings last time (23.73) at Dubbo in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 10 lengths. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Looks a place chance at best.

Caught the eye with a fast early split and setting up a half a length win at Shepparton over 450m in 25.60. Was strongly supported last start and ran right away with it. Worth following up.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (22.24) over 380m at this track. Tough draw to overcome but in the mix on his best form.
