Townsville Race 6 - Betnation.com.au
SKY BY NIGHT (4) was a hot course and distance winner last time, claiming a Restricted WIN in an exceptional 28.68 and a new PB here. In form and looks the one to beat again. AMBER ANNIE (8) has been in the money at her last two runs, most recently when second beaten 2 lengths (28.83). Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to her name from five starts. Leading chance. BARNSLEY (6) turned in a moderate run last time when seventh at this track over 498m behind SKY BY NIGHT (29.60) in a Restricted WIN. Was in the money the start prior. Should be in this for a long way. TOMMY'S WHISKY (2) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit.
