Townsville Race 9 - Bet Nation Townsville 5th Grade H
SAND EXPRESS (1) was below best at her last start when 6th at this track following a second place finish (21.96) there two back. Solid record here at the distance winning three races. The form out of last run is most impressive. Should be very hard to beat this time. SYDNEYSIDER (2) is long overdue for a win and in super consistent form, jumping from this box to place last time at this track (21.90), making it four straight minors. Rates a leading chance. KING AND I (6) latest effort finished 4th over 380m at this track beaten 6 lengths (22.28) behind Kramer in a Grade 5 on September 29. Looks suited here and can measure up. GURGLE PIPE (3) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 6th in a Grade 5 on September 11 over 380m at this track behind Hara's Milly beaten 6 lengths (21.94). Placed two back at this track. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.

Hit the frame at this track last time when a 2.5 lengths third but did record a quick 21.90 over the 380m journey. Has the ability and looks a key chance again.

Was out of placings last time (22.59) at this track in a P5, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Can feature with the right run.
