Q Straight Race 6

Garrard's Horse And Hound 5Th Grade H

Prize Money: $2,700

HOLD THE GAVEL (3) won again and recorded an impressive time after leading to make it two on end at this track over 350m (18.83). Well placed and will be tough to beat. UNACCEPTABLE ROB (1) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by one length at Capalaba in a handy 19.89 beating Unacceptable Col. Has definite claims. CHEVY STORM (2) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths (18.95) behind Drink Mickeys at this track. Bold showing expected. BERNARDO BLUE (4) has been a model of consistency and deserves plenty of thought.

Won his last two including a good win last start over 366m at Capalaba by one length in a P5. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.

Showed good improvement when second behind Drink Mickeys at this track last start over 350m (18.95). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.
