FEDERAL BLAST has multiple wins at Townsville and in strong form with five wins from seven attempts this campaign, the testing material. LEMON SLICE can claim the rails early if outjumps those drawn either side, don't treat lightly. DANIEL SPARKLES disappointed when placing as favourite last start at Townsville but has good 23.63 run here and won once this prep at the track two runs back, don't dismiss. ZINA CORTEZ expect to lead having drawn the rails, each-way claims.
