Soft 5
TRACKWALKER
We expect the inside lanes to be fine early but with some give in them they may chop out as the meeting progresses paving the way for a small advantage for those coming down the middle in the back half of the card
BARRIERS
1000m – Out of the chute that is a third of the way through the final bend
TOWNSVILLE SPECIALISTS
Jarred Wehlow has a lifetime strike rate of 15% but this year he’s been hitting at 33% at Townsville. Wehlow has runners in R1 & R7 where Ashley Butler is engaged to ride both. This combination is currently striking at 46%, close to the best in the land for a sustained period

Race 7 No.6 WITSABOUTHIM $8
“Slowly away last start when jumping straight to the mile 2UP. Was closing off strongly in a fast run race there and that’ll see him improve a stack. Should settle closer this time and looks the main threat to the short-priced favourite.”
