Townsville Race 13 - Billy Rudd
COTTON BALL BUZZ (3) missed the frame latest when sixth at this track (22.45) but scored three back at this track (21.71). Better than last start and worth following up. ZIPPING BUBBLES (8) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, most recently finishing 3rd at this track over 498m. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to be in the finish again. BLUE JET TRAIN (4) turned spotting a big start finishing eighth (24.28) last time in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Leading chance. RACCOON RUSTY (2) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Missed the frame last start when sixth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Well placed here and expected to bounce back.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 498m at this track. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
