Townsville Race 8 - Brisbane 2032 Olympics In Townsville (Bm60)
Lots of form here. ELLIS BEACH (1) has been in great touch since finding fitness, winning two on end. Aided Holt has three wins from four rides while aboard and can bring up a winning hat-trick. FOOLS PLAY (7) is another who has scored back-to-back wins, the latest this course and distance when storming home. Looks hard to hold out again. ALABAMA MOONLIGHT (2) has been freshened since a fast finishing fourth latest and is overdue for a win. One of the major players. DIVINE DIAMONDS (4) has been knocking on the door with back-to-back placings. Best form is over this longer trip though and gets a chance to break through. PARCH (3) was a winner in easier company last time. Harder here and tricky draw but is a speedy type who will be in this for a long way.

Form hard to fault. Last start raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.0 len at this track Bm60 April 14 over 1609m defeating Central Park with 59kg at $4.20. The run before that came from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Cairns 0 - 55 March 26 over 1250m in heavy going defeating Starmeira carrying 59.5kg at $8.50. Winning rider stays aboard and can make it three straight.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 29 day let-up. Most recently came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 9 at Cairns Bm60 on April 9 over 1250m, slow going 2.5 len behind Thirteen Under with 60kg at $4.20. The run before that 2nd of 8 at Cairns Cl3-Sw on March 26 over 1250m, on heavy track; 0.7 len behind Colours Of Autumn carrying 57kg at $14. Encouraging effort last start. Overdue for a win and is one of the major players.

Racing well recently. Most recently favourite; won by 2.75 len at Home Hill Bm60 April 18 over 1460m defeating Bellzen carrying 59.5kg at $2.50. The run before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 8 at Cairns Cl1 on April 9 over 1250m, slow going 0.7 len behind Fools Play carrying 59kg at $6.50. Harder here and tricky draw but will be in this for a long way.

Last start got back early 6th of 9 at this track Bm65 on April 30 over 1200m, 5 len behind Line 'Em Up Loui with 56kg at $31. Before that sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 10 at Rockhampton Cl3 on April 12 over 1400m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Inca Trail carrying 57kg at $31. Best figures measure up so don't underestimate.
