Townsville horse racing preview – February 5, 2021
Eight races will be run and won at Townsville’s Cluden Racecourse on Friday afternoon. The track is currently a Soft 5, the rail is in the true position, and the first race is set to jump at 1:26pm local time.
Best Bet: Brad
Our good mate Brad lines up in the second in a compact field where he looks the obvious winning chance after the scratching of Fanaar. Justin Stanley will ride him out of gate three, which should see him assume a stalking roll before unleashing in the home straight to cut out after the leaders. The seven-time winner will be looking to break his duck at Townsville on Friday, and this looks the race to do it in after a terrific first-up run in Rockhampton.
Race 2 – Brad (#1)[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1360716_02]
Next Best: Attackabeel
Justin Stanley rode the first three winners at Rockhampton last Friday, and we think he can ride the first two at Townsville this week. The Brisbane hoop will partner Clinton Taylor’s two-year-old filly Attackabeel in a race that looks to have just the two chances. The Rockhampton winner was impressive on debut when winning by 2.5 lengths eased down, which suggested she had a bit left in the tank. Gossiping Girl is no slouch and could have a slight advantage from the lower alley, but Attackabeel should get the better of her late.

Next Best Again: Lighthorse Lad
Bill Kenning and Brad Pengelly combine with Lighthorse Lad, who resumes in a 1200m Class 3. The four-year-old gelding has won three from seven at Townsville, including back-to-back wins when first up last campaign. The ex-Victorian has only been out of the placings twice since being in North Queensland, and all three wins have come over the six-furlong distance. Pengelly has partnered him in his last five starts, and they have drawn well in gate five to be in the first couple in the run. He should have a bit on these and could return to the races in real style.
