Townsville Race 5 - Burdekin Vet Services
COMPLEX THINKING (2) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at this track over 380m behind Footloose (22.88) in a Grade 5. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Key runner on her best form. MURCIA (7) boasts a strong record this journey with three wins and two minors from nine tries. Recorded a 0.8 lengths win (22.16) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Looks a key chance on best figures. TAKE AIM (1) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at this track over 380m behind Tau Ceti (22.55) in a Grade 5. Comes through a solid form race last start. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. TOBIAS IVY (3) has claims fresh from a recent placing at big odds.

Risky beginner who put in a fair effort last start when he found a couple better over 380m at this track. Hasn't won over this distance, predicted to struggle on this occasion.
