Townsville Race 8 - News Express Garbutt
RINGWALD (1) comes here off a good win over 380m at this track in 21.89. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time. ASCEND KALMIA (8) stalked lead from an outside box last start before finishing third (22.16) at this track in a Grade 3/4 over 380m. Overdue and expected to feature again. FURIOUS PHANTOM (2) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 380m (22.22). Shapes as one to consider. BINNAWAY MIRAGE (5) profiles nicely over this trip.

Strong performance to post a big 5.5 lengths victory in a Mix 5 last start at this track, recording a fast 21.89 over the 380m journey. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.
