Townsville Race 4 - Get On A Good Thing With Bet Nation

TAKEOVER TARGET (3) got around 498m in a swift 28.88 when winning a Restricted WIN at this track last start. In form and can measure up again. ROSE BELLE (2) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind TAKEOVER TARGET (28.95) in a Restricted WIN. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Must be included in calculations. HE PLAYED ONE (5) missed the frame last time when fourth (29.16) at this track but prior to that had four placings in a row. Has ability and is one of the better chances. BASIL FAWLTY (1) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when seventh (29.78), beaten 13 lengths.
