Townsville Race 6 - Burdekin Vet Services 5/6 Grade H
PARTY WITH TOM (7) below best last time at this track (29.82) in a OPEN, finishing a 14 length sixth. Rates on top and should go close. VELOCITY COMMIT (4) showed blistering pace early and gave a sight when in the minors, beaten 6 lengths over 498m this track in 29.12. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Will give a great sight again. INSTINCTIVELY (5) has a strong record here with five wins and four placings from 13 starts. In the money last time at this track (21.97) in a Grade 1/2, finishing a 6 length third. Suited here and expected to run well. DON'T TELL SHILO (3) is a last-start placegetter who is in the mix again.

Drawn the inside. Most recent effort finished 4th in a OPEN on February 24 over 498m at this track behind Kej Stefani beaten 5 lengths (29.18). Yet to be beaten in three starts out of this box. Must be respected.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (29.73) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 7 length fifth. Box stats strong with five wins and four placings from 11 starts. Will need some luck to feature.

Was out of placings last time (29.82) at this track in a OPEN, finishing sixth and beaten 14 lengths. Yet to score but has placed each of two runs from this draw. Looks suited and should go close.
