RECKLESS RUBY expect to lead having drawn the rails and won once this prep at Townsville four runs back, leading hope. CHEAP REALITY has won three times at Townsville before and in strong form with three wins from eight attempts this campaign, not without each-way claims. KING AND I goes well at Townsville and in strong form with two wins from seven attempts this campaign, in with a chance. HIT AFTER HIT has the speed to overcome a very wide draw, dangerous.
