Townsville Race 6 - Ladbrokes Townsville Cup

The feature race on the card, the $150,000 Townsville Cup. QUOTHQUAN (1) was a touch disappointing in the Mackay Cup last time out but the form prior was good enough for a race of this nature. Is one from one over this course and distance and should get a gun run in transit from gate four. Watch for a much improved performance. ODEGAARD (7) is a very consistent campaigner who has remarkably hit the top-four in 16 of his past 17 starts and doesn't know how to run a bad race. Is two from two around this circuit and has to be included in calculations. Former Victorian galloper LEG DRIVE (6) hails from a handy family (half to G3 winner Violate) and has grown a leg since moving up north. Top-three credentials. GOING NUCLEAR (9) is a seven-time winner here on his home circuit and shouldn't be discounted lightly. ZOOLOGY (2) rounds out the selections in a competitive contest.

The race before that 2nd of 12 at Rockhampton Qlty on July 11 over 1600m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Keitel with 57.5kg at $4.80. Prepared to forget last start; capable of turning things around.

Half-brother to Group 3 winner Violate. Most recently 2nd of 8 at Gold Coast Cl5 on July 25 over 1800m, slow going nose behind Moonshine Run carrying 62kg at $1.80. The race before that favourite; won by 0.5 len at Gold Coast Hcp July 4 over 1800m defeating Chayse 'N' Artie carrying 55kg at $2.45. No surprise to see him back in the winners' circle.

Last start got back early ran second last in a small field at Cairns Hcp on July 23 over 1900m, slow going 6 len behind Choir Boy carrying 60kg at $6.

Rates highly this time so he can bounce back.

Most recently 2nd in a small field at Cairns Hcp on July 23 over 1900m, slow going 1.75 len behind Choir Boy carrying 57kg at $6.50. The start before that ran second last of 9 at this track Hcp on June 28 over 1609m, 5 len behind Going Nuclear with 55kg at $11. Needs to do more. This looks a sterner test.

Most recently 3rd in a small field at Cairns Hcp on July 23 over 1900m, slow going 4 len behind Choir Boy with 54kg at $2. The run before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a nose at this track Cl3 July 5 over 1609m defeating Beta Better carrying 57kg at $5.50. This harder and won't be beating too many of these home.
