Townsville Race 5 - Burdekin Vet Services 5/6 Grade H
TOTAL FRANKY (7) is a talented type who notched his 12th career success when too good (28.75) at this track last time. Has a win and two minor placings from three starts from this draw. Sure to prove hard to beat. FEDERAL TOMMY (1) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Shian Peaches (22.10) in a Grade 4. Yet to score from this box but has never missed the frame in two starts. Can measure up. BLACK FALCON (8) was in the minor money with a swift 21.89, finishing second in a Grade 5 at this track last start. Expecting another bold showing. EMGRAND FLASH (2) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish here at this distance.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in his races, Last start finished eighth over 498m at this track, beaten 15 lengths. Prepared to risk on this occasion.

Produced a good effort last start to finish sixth on February 24 over 498m at this track behind Pink Car, beaten 2.25 lengths (29.38) in a Grade 4/5. Other runners look much more appealing.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (29.06) over 498m at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw and will need to find best.

Comes off a (28.75) win last time, scoring by 6 lengths in a Grade 5 over 498m at this track. Super consistent from the draw with a win and two places from three starts. Has ability and should feature.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was an impressive winner scoring by 0.8 lengths in a Grade 5 at this track and recording a swift 21.93 over the 380m journey. Looks the one to beat on win two back.
