Townsville Race 8 - Bet Nation 4/5 Grade F
CHIVAS CHOICE (4) bolted home by 4.5 lengths (28.59) at this track last time from box 7. Has the squeeze box to overcome and will need the breaks early. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Great chance to get the job done again. MIZUKI HEART (1) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 6 lengths into second (28.82) at this track in a Grade 4/5 over 498m. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expected to be in the finish again. LOCHINVAR DUDE (7) shapes well after a decent run last time, finishing third in a Grade 4/5 at this track in 28.85. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. WEATHER REPORT (2) has top-three aspirations after placing here over this journey last time.

In sparkling form, last time showing brilliant early pace and proving too slick around this track over 498m in 28.59, making it four wins on end. Flying lately and can score again.

Comes off a (28.41) win last time, scoring by 6 lengths in a Grade 4/5 over 498m at this track. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Was in the placings last time but prior to that was an impressive winner scoring by a nose in a Grade 5 at this track and recording a powerful 21.80 over the 380m journey. Can measure up again if runs up to recent best times.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 2nd over 498m at this track beaten 4.5 lengths (28.89) behind Chivas Choice in a Grade 4/5 on October 6. Boxed on well last time to hit the frame. Rates highly again.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 498m in 28.97. Followed that up with a minor placing over 498m at this track at Grade 4/5 a week ago. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Latest effort finished 4th on October 6 over 498m at this track behind Smooth Blast beaten 8 lengths (28.99) in a Grade 4/5. Has an excellent 28.66 best time at this course and distance. Worth including.
