Townsville Race 3 - Betnation.com.au
EXPLOSIVE JEM (8) has missed the placings at her last couple but was in the money three back when third (22.01) at this track in a Grade 4. Safe beginner but wide box to overcome and will need some luck. Better than latest and can atone here. MISS TWO STEP (2) drew an outside box and was game in defeat when only 0.8 lengths from the winner Black Falcon in second(21.98) at this track. Expecting another good run. BINDI BOODIE (6) turned in a plain performance last time when seventh at this track over 498m behind Bogie Frank (29.75) in a OPEN. Has good speed so she should be prominent despite the draw. Can figure in the finish. VILLAIN OF FIRE (7) returns here as an each-way chance.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when third (22.22) over 380m at this track. Nicely drawn on the inside and can measure up.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (22.04) at big odds over 380m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome but is among the better hopes.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in her races, The latest effort was a 13 length eighth over 380m at this track. Looking to others this time.
