Nine race card at Townsville, track may remain soft, should be fine for all. Kick things off with a 1000m QTIS 2YO Mdn. No's 1,3,4,5,7,8,9,10 eligible for the bonus. As things stand three are on debut, four are resuming from a spell. That makes it a must to monitor the market moves as they make their way the barriers, the mounting yard mail should create some educated fluctuations. SCARLENA is hard and fit and takes a claim. In the main the filly has raced out of her grade, last start being the first time she'd contested a maiden. BRIGINSHAW had five trials and/or jump-outs in Victoria, shown the stable door, debuts here. WORTHY GEM resumes, won both trials prior to finishing 5th at Cairns last December. Not seen in public since. ASTILLA led them up at Caulfield when debuting 24 weeks ago. It too has since been shown the stable door. Won a recent trial at Rockhampton. Kind draw, one dollar its way, tune in.
