Townsville Race 8 - Essery Racing
KASEY'S WAY (1) was prominent early from the tricky draw and did a fair job to be beaten 5 lengths into third (22.04) at this track in a Other over 380m. Top prospect. TEX GUNN (8) boasts a strong record this journey with nine wins and five minors from 18 tries. Missed the frame latest (22.39) when eighth over 380m at this track in a OPEN. Looks suited here and can measure up. ADVIKA (2) carved over from wide out and boxed on strongly to finish a neck away in second (21.88) behind Villain Of Fire at this track. Will give a great sight again. SMOOTH BLAST (7) is building a sequence of top-three results and can add to the tally.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.06) in a Free For All, finishing a 2.75 lengths fifth. Yet to win but has placed five times from this draw. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Was edged out last time at this track when beaten just a neck but did clock an excellent 21.68 for the 380m trip. Can sneak a place again.
