Townsville Race 9 - Bet Nation Townsville

TRY TO RELAX (1) has been out of the placings last couple but impressed when clocking a 21.83 over 380m at this track three starts back. Has the ability and expected to go close again. RUBY JUBY (5) goes very well at the distance with two wins and a placing from four starts. In the money last time at this track (22.03) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2 length third. Can feature with the right run. INFRASONIC (2) was below best last time when fifth but three back was a Grade 6 winner in quick time at this track. Rates a winning chance on best. FEDERAL CASH (3) is a last-start placegetter worth considering.
