Q Straight Race 9

Gorski Hardox Tough Tippers

Prize Money: $2,700

FRONT MAN (7) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (22.15) at Q Lakeside. Has a good record here including four wins. His last run is a proven strong form reference. Can go on with it. RARE PRESENCE (2) used the rails draw to advantage to get home last time at this track over 300m (16.71) after forging to the front and leading throughout, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Leading player again. AFFLECK (1) scored (20.71) last time out over 352m at Q Lakeside nine weeks ago. Expected to feature on best form. WARREGO RAIN (8) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by a nose in 19.72, beating Winning Edition. Last start finished last in a Restricted WIN on August 13 over 350m at this track behind Chip Kick beaten 8 lengths (19.65). Happy to risk in this.
