Townsville Race 9 - Burdekin Veterinary Services
EMGRAND DRIVE (2) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 2.25 lengths at this track in a handy 21.65 beating VILLAIN OF FIRE. Ran the fastest time on the program in her latest win. Great chance to get the job done again. EXOTIC RUBY (1) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, rewarded with a win last time at this track over 380m. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. ADVIKA (7) turned in a plain effort last time when sixth at this track over 380m behind EMGRAND DRIVE (22.53) in a Free For All. In the mix. ASTON ELISHA (8) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Hit the frame at this track last time when a 2.25 lengths second but did record a brilliant 21.81 over the 380m journey. Harder here and one for the multiples.
