Capalaba Race 9

Amj Engineering & Fabrication

Prize Money: $3,500

TAHITIAN GIRL (5) is a sprinter who excels over the short dashes. Found it a bit far latest when finished eighth over 520m at Q Parklands (30.87) in a Grade 5 but is better suited back in trip here. Solid record here at this trip including three wins. Form from her last run is proving strong. Has claims if she runs up to expectations. BLUE ART (8) is a fast dog well performed over the sprint races. Last start placegetter over 350m at Q Straight in a OPEN (18.98). Solid record here at this trip including 11 wins. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expected to feature. PADOVA (7) was out of in the placings when fourth last time but three runs back posted a quick 19.78 win over 366m at this track. Must include on winning run three back. IDEA'S MAN (4) is hard to fault of late and is a strong top-three hope again.

Comments

Was out of placings last time (30.66) at Q Parklands in a Mix 5, finishing eighth and beaten 13 lengths. Goes very well off the draw boasting 10 wins and four places from 17 starts. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 366m at this track in a handy (19.86), beating Looking Fancy. Looks a solid hope.

Hasn't been that impressive recently but she has solid credentials over this track and distance. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Comments

Missed the frame last start when fourth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Looks a danger to the top few if returns to best form this time.

Placed last time (18.98) at Q Straight in a OPEN, finishing second and beaten 2.5 lengths. Has six wins and six placings from 16 starts from the draw. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
