Townsville Race 1 - News Express Garbutt Mdn H
JAKARI VERA (4) comes off an average run last start when fourth at this track over 380m behind Jakari Zara (22.47). Can atone. SUNSET PSALM (8) is a newcomer for the Glen Olsen kennel. Start all important and will need some luck getting across from the wide draw. Strong market watch advised but profiles nicely for this. TARGET POINT (1) boxed on the inside and gets chance to find form. Last time finished last in a Maiden on October 9 over 380m at this track behind Hara's Ocean beaten 16 lengths (22.98). Has ability and is one of the better chances. MISS TARGET (7) among the chances again based on last run here.

Turned in a fair debut run over 380m at this track where she settled off the pace and battled on to finish fourth (22.47) and beaten 2.5 lengths. Should be further improved. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.
