Q2 Parklands Race 9

Www.theq.au

Prize Money: $7,000

CLASSY HUNTER (2) has a big motor and ideally suited at the longer trips. Was too tough when scoring last time over 600m at this track in a Grade 5/6 (34.59). Strike rate this distance strong having won two of four tries. Expected to measure up again. NOT HALF BAD (5) had won two starts on end leading into the last outing when strongly fancied but could only manage fourth (30.47) at this track. Has the ability to give this a shake. FIVE BIRDIES (8) is another with top-three prospects.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 520m at this track. Others read better.

Last start finished fifth on September 6 over 600m at this track behind Classy Hunter, beaten 10 lengths (35.31) in a Grade 5/6. Would be better placed in something easier.

Good effort to win last start by a neck over 520m at this track in a handy (30.19), beating Sarilda. Solid showing expected.
