Townsville Race 10 - Bet Nation Townsville Cup H
HOPEFULLY FAST (4) quickly away to win over the 380m at this track two runs back then settled forward again when finishing second at this track last start. Comes through a solid form race last start. Likely to feature again. TEMPTING DASH (2) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start fifth (30.56) at Q Parklands. Has a good record at this journey. The form out of last run is most impressive. Must be included in calculations. GROUND CONTROL (3) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 2 lengths (28.30) at this track. Has definite claims again. ROCKY RACCOON (1) collected a minor prize last start in a close contest - must be considered.

Won two starts back at Rockhampton over 407m in 23.96. Followed that up with a minor placing over 407m at Rockhampton at Grade 5 a week-and-a-half ago. Racing well and can find winning form again.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 6 length third but did clock a slick 28.77 over the 498m trip. Looking to others this time.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (29.85) over 520m at Q Parklands. Hasn't been far away. Don't underestimate.

Well supported here last start but couldn't repay punters, finishing finished 4th on August 31 over 380m at this track behind Miss Pumpkin beaten 8 lengths (22.50) in a Grade 5. Placed two back at Q Parklands. Recorded two placings in a row prior to the latest effort. Worth another chance.
