TEX GUNN has outstanding form at this track and in strong form with six wins from 12 attempts this campaign, tough to beat. HARA'S PEST can claim the rails early if outjumps those drawn either side and placed all previous races as a favourite, the real danger in the race. VILLAIN OF FIRE can claim the rails early if outjumps those drawn either side and has multiple wins at Townsville, still in this. PIKA WAVE should find the lead easily having drawn well and has multiple wins at Townsville, in with a chance.
