Townsville Race 9 - Betnation.com.au

TEX GUNN (2) goes very well this trip starting 20 times for nine wins and six minors. Placed last time (21.84) at this track in a Free For All, finishing third and beaten 4 lengths. Has the ability and should feature. EMGRAND DRIVE (1) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 498m behind Moonlit Skies (29.33) in a Grade 5/6. Has never missed the frame from 10 starts from this draw, including three wins. Should be about the money. COLONEL'S RANGER (3) goes very well here starting 10 times for five wins and three minors. Comes off a (21.55) win last time, scoring by 2.75 lengths in a Free For All over 380m at this track. Looks well placed here and among the chances. VILLAIN OF FIRE (8) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to make amends.

Finished in the minors last time in a Free For All at this track when a 4 length third but did run a swift 21.84 over the 380m journey. Has the ability and looks hard to top.

Impressive performance to score by 2.75 lengths in a Free For All last start at this track, clocking a scintillating 21.55 over the 380m trip. Hard to top on that run.

Missed the frame last start when sixth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Has ability but this tough and looks a place chance at best.
