Townsville Race 14 - Bet Nation Townsville Versatility H

COCOA EXPRESS (1) is in top form, scoring by 2 lengths (22.05) over 380m at this track and making it back to back wins. Has good early burn and is suited drawn on the inside. In top form and looks a key chance again. MISS BRIMLEY (8) got around 380m in a sharp 21.88 when winning a Restricted WIN at this track last start. Smart winner latest and looks a key chance on that form. LUCKY FIREBALL (7) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish third, beaten 1.1 lengths, (22.06) at this track. Solid beginner and with a good start should have clear running out wide. Hard to beat again. BASIL FAWLTY (4) can play a role in the finish without surprising.
