Townsville Race 6 - Lyon Build North Queensland (Bm70)

BOOMING LAD (2) has won three of five this campaign including one over this track and trip. Will be rock-hard fit, draws low and gets 2kg off with the claim. Ticks a few boxes for this contest. MEMPHIS SHADOW (6) put back-to-back wins together before the spell with Wiggins being on top for both victories. Can return in winning order. GOSSIP TORQUE (3) has a solid record over this sprint journey with three wins and nine placings from 20 starts. Always has to be included in calculations. MISS TAMBO (8) resumes here but has won first-up before and may run a race while fresh. TALONS (9) strips fitter second-up from the break and only needs some luck from the outside draw to feature in the finish.

Most recently favourite; came from midfield and won by 0.7 len at Mackay Bm65 April 14 over 1050m on a soft track defeating Mr Tangles carrying 60kg at $2.10. The start before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 9 at Mackay Bm65 on April 1 over 1200m, on a slow track; nose behind Upstart Legend carrying 59.5kg at $3.60. Will prove hard to beat.

At the latest run favourite; won by 1.3 len at Bowen Hcp April 12 over 1000m on a rain affected track defeating Your Too Good with 55kg at $2.20. The run before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd in a small field at this track Hcp on April 4 over 1000m, on a slow track; 0.6 len behind Family Star carrying 54kg at $2.40. Big chance to go back-to-back.
