Townsville Race 9 - Essery Racing

TRY TO RELAX (6) latest effort finished last on September 22 over 498m at this track behind Lovely Madeline beaten 6 lengths (29.36) in a OPEN. Expected to go close with a clean break. MOONLIT SKIES (3) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 6 length win at this track in a handy 21.77. Fair draw can see a good run and in form and has the ability. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Leading chance again. EMGRAND DRIVE (7) has been out of the placings at her last two outings but shapes well for this if she can recapture her dynamic win a few runs back, getting around this track over 380m in 21.65. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. DREAM QUEEN (8) deserves plenty of thought at her first run at this circuit.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 498m at this track. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 3 lengths in 29.10, beating Cotton Ball Buzz. Last start finished last in a OPEN on September 22 over 498m at this track behind Hara's Ghost beaten 13 lengths (29.79). Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Surprised two starts back at Rockhampton to win by a nose in 23.82, beating Rocky Raccoon. Last start finished 6th over 407m at Rockhampton beaten 10 lengths (24.53) behind Farmor Senior in a Grade 5 on September 20. The form from the last run stacks up well. Worth including.
