Townsville Race 4 - Tony Glover
HOPEFULLY FAST (4) has a strong record this track and trip with seven wins and seven placings from 16 starts. In the money last time at this track (21.85) in a Grade 4, finishing a 3.5 lengths third. Appeals as a leading chance in this. SHE'S SAINTLY (1) has a strong record this track and trip with two wins and three placings from six starts. Was out of the placings last time (30.44) at Q Parklands in a OPEN, finishing fourth and beaten 9 lengths. Looks well placed here and among the chances. SMOOTH BLAST (7) shapes nicely here coming off a dynamic 28.44 victory at this track over 498m. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. ASTON KINNIE (2) showed plenty of dash to record a last start win. Hard to beat again.

Missed the frame latest (30.44) when fourth over 520m at Q Parklands in a OPEN. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed five times. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 3.5 lengths third but did clock a sharp 21.85 over the 380m journey. Rates a top chance with a repeat here.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest at big odds finishing third (28.75) at this track. Jumps from a wide draw. Will need plenty of luck.
