Q1 Lakeside Race 8

Sen Track

Prize Money: $4,600

FLAMING VALORA (2) stalked the lead from a middle draw and boxed on well to finish 3.5 lengths back in second (25.88) at this track in a Grade 6/MDN over 457m. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Sure to be about the mark. BIG GRIN (7) was below best last time but prior to that was narrowly beaten when fourth (25.89) in a Grade 6 at this track. Can find the frame this time. DODGEM DUKE (4) sat on speed and lifted strongly to open winning account two back, then finished a 6 length third last start at this track over 457m (25.91). Back to track where he won his maiden. Rates a leading chance again.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by one length in 22.43, beating Oliver Buck. Last start finished 5th over 390m at this track beaten 8 lengths (22.44) behind Hara's Lucy in a Maiden on July 17. Looks up against it this time.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 457m at this track. Likely to struggle this time.

Was out of placings last time (26.05) at this track in a Grade 6, finishing fourth and beaten 7 lengths. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Has ability and looks a key chance.
