Townsville   30 Aug 2016
 
GOING: G(4)

Townsville Bulletin (Bm70) 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Mostly Cloudy   Rail: Out 1.5m Entire Course. (Pent: 3.8).  

Bobcat has the tactical speed to go to the front and control the pace. ELEMENT OF CHANCE showed something like his best improving to place 3U at Cairns in Open grade. He can lead or box-seat off the rail and finds easier. ROWEINER has been racing in Open class races and could surprise today back in trip with the handy gate and the 2kg claim. FOREST WAY was good when beaten a nose at Cairns over a mile 16 days ago. Hasn’t won for a long while but can’t be dismissed. HERE TO DASH and BOBCAT are also in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Element Of Chance.
