Verdict

The feature race on the card, the $150,000 Townsville Cup. QUOTHQUAN (1) was a touch disappointing in the Mackay Cup last time out but the form prior was good enough for a race of this nature. Is one from one over this course and distance and should get a gun run in transit from gate four. Watch for a much improved performance. ODEGAARD (7) is a very consistent campaigner who has remarkably hit the top-four in 16 of his past 17 starts and doesn't know how to run a bad race. Is two from two around this circuit and has to be included in calculations. Former Victorian galloper LEG DRIVE (6) hails from a handy family (half to G3 winner Violate) and has grown a leg since moving up north. Top-three credentials. GOING NUCLEAR (9) is a seven-time winner here on his home circuit and shouldn't be discounted lightly. ZOOLOGY (2) rounds out the selections in a competitive contest.
