Townsville Race 10 - Plaza Meats 4/5 Grade H
SAND EXPRESS (1) slotted in just off the lead from the wide box before lifting strongly to score (21.83) at this track in a Grade 5 over 380m. The form out of her last race has been franked. Looks the testing material. ORDINARY (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (22.54) in a Grade 4 at this track. Has never been out of the placings from two starts out of this box. Cannot be underestimated. LEMON SLICE (3) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on her sharp win the start prior, getting around this track over 380m in 21.89. Should be in this for a long way. HIGH GEAR MARIA (7) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.

Was out of placings last time (22.54) at this track in a Grade 4, finishing fourth and beaten 8 lengths. Yet to score but has placed each of two runs from this draw. Key chance and should go close.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when third (22.58) over 380m at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw but is among the better hopes.
