Townsville Race 4 - News Express Garbutt
SYDNEYSIDER (7) recorded a win over 380m at this track in a flying 21.80 last start. Hot win latest and looks the one to beat again. THUNDERLASH (3) goes very well this trip starting 12 times for four wins and three minors. Below best last time at this track (22.48) in a Grade 4, finishing a 13 length eighth. Can feature in the finish. HE'S PEEKING (1) ran below best last time finishing fifth (29.35) over 498m at this track from Box 4. Must be included in calculations. MIZUKI FLASH (8) was well-backed but didn't perform as expected last time – can atone.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (29.35) in a Grade 5/6, finishing a 11 length fifth. Strong record off the draw with four wins and two minors from eight starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
