Townsville Race 5 - Ross Wilkie Fishing
AMBER ANNIE (1) missed the frame last time when fifth (29.69) at this track but prior to that had two placings in a row. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Should be very hard to beat this time. HARA'S GHOST (7) shapes well after a quick run last time, finishing second in a Restricted WIN at this track in 28.78. In form and must include in calculations. BARNSLEY (2) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 1.3 lengths (29.12) behind Federal Cash at this track. Can measure up. FEDERAL NOODLE (8) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Latest effort finished 5th over 498m at this track beaten 9 lengths (29.69) behind Tommy's Whisky in a Restricted WIN on May 1. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Finished in the minors last time in a Restricted WIN at this track when a 2.25 lengths second but did run a strong 28.78 over the 498m journey. Has the ability and looks a key chance again.
