Townsville Race 5 - Bet Nation
HIDDEN FURY (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (29.37) last time in a Mix 5 at this track. Better than last start and worth following up. APACHE MALT (6) turned in a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 380m behind Hippy (23.04) in a Mix 5. Great chance to atone. GEORGE JETSON (4) was in the minors two back (22.25) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 7th. Goes well out of this box with a win and six minor placings. Should be about the mark. EMMY PANAMA (3) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Missed the frame when fifth (22.43) at this track at last run and returns here after a three-and-a-half months break. Worth including.

Was out of placings last time (22.99) at this track in a P5, finishing eighth and beaten 13 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and five minors. Makes appeal on best.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (29.47) in a Grade 5/6, finishing a 9 length seventh. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and six minors. Key chance and should go close.

Latest effort finished 6th on February 27 over 380m at this track behind Hippy beaten 12 lengths (23.04) in a Mix 5. Has performed below expectations at his last couple but is capable of far better.

Just been plugging away and needs to improve after being unplaced in four tries. Last start 4th over 380m at this track. Likely to find this too tough.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 380m at this track. Hard to recommend this time.
