Townsville Race 9 - Get On A Good Thing With Bet Nation
HOPEFULLY FAST (4) looks close to another win after finishing third last time (28.94) at this track. Form at this distance is sound. One of the leading chances. SMOOTH BLAST (2) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 3 lengths at this track in a handy 21.89 beating Take Aim. Yet to miss the placings in seven runs from this box, including two wins. Expecting another bold showing. EMPTY SKY (1) has mixed form recently, finishing eighth (22.48) in a Grade 4 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Good beginner and aided by the inside draw. Can feature with the right run. AUSSIE AUDI (3) scored by 1.75 lengths last time (22.01) in a Grade 5 over 380m at this track. Boasts a top strike-rate from this draw, winning three of five runs.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.48) in a Grade 4, finishing a 11 length eighth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Leading player.

Good effort to win last start by 1.75 lengths over 380m at this track in a handy (22.01), beating Tex Gunn. Sure to be about the mark.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a 0.8 lengths third over 498m this track in 28.94. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Has finished fifth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 5 lengths behind Moonshine Magic over 380m. Others hold stronger claims.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won easily by 4 lengths at this track (21.66) beating Aussie Audi in a Grade 5 on May 12. Risky starter, likely to find this a bit tough.

Quickly out of the boxes with a slick early sectional clocking 21.86 with a 3.5 lengths win at this track over 380m. Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (22.12) at big odds over 380m at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw and looks safely held.
