Townsville Race 5 - The Ville Chairman's Sprint Hcp
LEAN EAGLE (4) loves it here around the Townsville circuit with three wins and three seconds from just seven spins and will be ready to peak now third run back from the break. Racing very consistently of late and has to be included in calculations. RUSSIAN MINT (5) returned to the winners' stall here last time out and will have taken some confidence from that victory. Can go back-to-back without surprising. MOEGREEN (8) grows a leg for rider Cormack who has only missed a drum once in 11 steers. Keep very safe while fresh. VALENKI (2) was a touch disappointing at the latest effort but the form prior was full of merit. Worth another chance. HELLISH (3) rounds out the selections in a competitive affair.

At the latest run ran last of 7 at this track Hcp on June 28 over 1000m, slow going 3.5 len behind Russian Mint with 62kg at $9. The start before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 11 at this track Hcp on June 6 over 1200m, long-neck behind Odegaard with 63kg at $19. Can bounce back. One of the chief contenders.

Most recently 4th of 7 at this track Hcp on June 28 over 1000m, slow going 0.8 len behind Russian Mint carrying 60kg at $13. The start before that did the work up front then tired 7th of 11 at this track Hcp on June 6 over 1200m, 3 len behind Odegaard with 61kg at $8. Encouraging effort last start. Will take plenty of beating.
