Townsville Race 8 - Bet Nation Townsville Wildcard H

CANYA WOW ME (1) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (28.99) at this track behind Organised Kaos in a Grade 4. Must come into calculations. TEX GUNN (7) has an excellent record here having never missed the placings in 11 starts, including seven wins and four placings. Placed last time (21.79) at this track in a Grade 1/2, finishing second and beaten 1.75 lengths. Can feature in the finish. TAKEOVER TARGET (6) is a classy pup building a strong winning record at the journey. Has quickly put himself into the picture to win the last couple of runs. Latest win recorded a handy 28.39 at this track. Some good form is emerging from his last run. In form and can go on with it. SOUTHPAW MCGRAW (2) is one to consider despite coming off a brief layoff.
