Q Straight Race 8

GORSKI ENGINEERING 5Th Grade F

Prize Money: $3,500

HOLD THE GAVEL (1) has a strong record here with four wins and a minor from seven starts. Scored by 2.5 lengths last time (18.90) in a Grade 5 over 350m at this track. Looks suited and should go close. DAWN SURE CAN (2) is better than last start when fourth (19.33) in a Grade 5 at this track over 350m. Form at this distance is sound. Should be about the mark. ELUSIVE HORNET (6) did a good job to finish third last time (19.12) over 350m at this track. Can play a role again. MANILA PHANTOM (9) has a decent record at this track and distance. Can be competitive.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won by 1.75 lengths at this track (19.08) beating Rare Presence in a Grade 5 on April 16. Has ability and looks and danger.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th on April 23 over 350m at this track behind Hold The Gavel beaten 3.5 lengths (19.15) in a Grade 5. Placed two back at this track. Fought on last time. Has the ability and right in the mix.
