Townsville Race 12 - Bet Nation

APACHE MALT (2) turned in a plain effort last time when seventh at this track over 380m behind Black Falcon (23.04) in a Grade 5. Comes through a solid form race last start. Has ability and is a key runner. BLUE MARINE (8) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (22.36) in a Grade 5 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Can hit the frame this time. SURROUNDINGS (1) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at this track over 380m behind He's Peeking (23.23) in a Grade 4/5.
