Townsville Race 11 - Essery Racing Pathways H
BIG PAPA PARTY (1) turned in a fair run last time from an unfavourable draw finishing fourth by 2.5 lengths (22.32). Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from four attempts. Can bounce back. MAJOR SWING (5) had a tricky draw last time and although midfield in fourth wasn't far away finishing 3 lengths from the winner (22.17). Can figure in the finish. BEEP (6) produced a modest effort most recently when fifth at this track over 380m behind Sydneysider (22.20) in a Grade 5. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Expected to feature in the finish. HARMS BEST (2) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Was out of placings last time (22.32) at this track in a Restricted WIN, finishing fourth and beaten 2.5 lengths. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Looks suited and should go close.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in his races. The latest effort was a 7 length fifth over 380m at this track. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.

Last start finished 4th on October 9 over 380m at this track behind Miss Brimley beaten 7 lengths (22.33) in a Restricted WIN. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.
