Q2 Parklands Race 2

Rosewood Veterinary Service

Prize Money: $11,000

MIGHT HAVE BEEN (2) failed to come into contention last start after missing the jump at this track, but prior to that won easily by 6 lengths at Wentworth Park (42.31) beating Pink Panama in a NG on May 24. Can make amends. HARA'S LUNA (6) was strongly fancied last time on the back of some superb recent form, including a four-run winning streak, but could only manage fifth (35.71) at Albion Park. Worth another chance. ZEPHYR (4) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing eighth (31.31) last time in a OPEN at Q Lakeside. Has a good record at this journey. Comes through a solid form race last start. Great chance to atone. AKELA OLA (7) is always hard to beat when drawn in this box.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (30.11) at big odds over 520m at this track. Boxed awkwardly and needs to find best form to feature.

Did a good job two starts back at Albion Park to win by 2.5 lengths in 42.09, beating Born To Rave. Last start finished 5th on February 17 over 600m at Albion Park behind Canya Cash In beaten 9 lengths (35.71) in a Grade 4/5. Solid claims this line-up.
