Townsville Race 9 - Place A Srm With Bet Nation 4/5 Grade H

CHIVAS CHOICE (6) was out of in the placings when fourth last time but three runs back posted a brilliant 28.59 win over 498m at this track. Can measure up again if runs up to recent best times. PICKIN' PIXIES (4) has been out of the placings at her last two outings but shapes well for this if she can recapture her outstanding win a few runs back, getting around this track over 498m in 28.63. Top win three back and rates a key player again. HARPER SPILLER (2) is in top form lately including a slick win at this track in 21.86 two back then backing it up with a 28.95 victory at this track over 498m latest. In form and looks a leading player again. BARNSLEY (1) was a close-up placing last start - cannot be ignored.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th over 498m at this track beaten 5.5 lengths (29.05) behind Mizuki Heart in a Grade 3/4 on October 20. Placed two back at this track. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.
