Townsville Race 4 - Burdekin Vet Services
FEDERAL SNIPER (5) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (22.16) in a Grade 6 at this track. Makes plenty of appeal. BIG PAPA PARTY (2) had been racing well prior to his last start fifth at this track following a Maiden win three back with a third placing. Can turn it around this time. STRAWBERRY WINE (1) was unwanted in betting when starting from the same box but ran very well, finishing in the minors over 380m at this track in a Grade 6 in 22.58. Expected to feature. TAKEOVER TARGET (8) generally performs well over this distance.

Got off the mark three back with his maiden win at this track. Placed following that before a last start fifth at this track. Shapes well here on best and gets chance to atone.

Kicked off career from box 7 at this course and distance and immediately opened winning account, scoring by 2.5 lengths in 22.23. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.
