Townsville Race 8 - Betnation 4/5 Grade F
RED HOT PENNY (7) was strongly supported last start when a short priced favourite and duly saluted winning by 7 lengths at this track in a handy 28.38. Draws out wide but has a good record over this journey. The form out of her last race has been franked. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. ASSASSINO (1) was an impressive last start winner, scoring a powerful 28.68 win and a new Best time this course and distance. Harder here but expected to feature again. CHIVAS CHOICE (8) has a strong record this track and trip with three wins and three placings from seven starts. In the money last time at this track (29.14) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 6 length second. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. LOCHINVAR DUDE (3) among the chances again based on last run here.
