Townsville Race 5 - Bet Nation Townsville Wildcard H
CRAB POT (1) has a strong overall record having 10 wins and 21 places from 41 starts but was out of the money last time when sixth (28.94) over 498m at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance this line-up. ROMAN PARTY (3) bolted in last time, scoring by 4.5 lengths in slick time (28.67) to take a Grade 5/6 in a new PB this course and distance. Harder here but expected to measure up. MAISIE MOO MOO (2) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (28.94) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Expecting significant improvement this line-up. GUS THE GREAT (5) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to score by a 0.8 lengths in a Grade 1/2 last start at this track, recording a flying 21.60 over the 380m journey. In form and worth thought again.

Won two starts back then raced on the pace last start when he finished 2nd in a Free For All on July 28 over 380m at this track behind Pika Wave beaten a nose (22.16). Goes well at this course, racing well and can find winning form again.
