Townsville Race 8 - Essery Racing

HARA'S HASTY (1) beaten last start over the 498m at this track but finished in the minors in a swift 28.82. Hard to top on the time from last start. HARA'S BRIAN (7) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 498m (28.94). Has ability and can atone. FIRST ON BASE (2) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing sixth (29.98) in a Grade 5/6 at this track. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. One of the main contenders. COCOA EXPRESS (8) is a last-start placegetter when at the top of betting - in the mix again.

Working his way into winning form after his success on October 9 at this track over 380m. Last start was fourth over 498m in 28.94, behind Ruby Juby. Should be right in the finish.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 380m. Last start finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on October 27 over 498m at this track behind Harper Spiller beaten 5 lengths (29.28). Yet to win but has been in the placings three times from this draw. Worth thought.
