Q Straight Race 10

Ladbrokes New Betslip

Prize Money: $2,100

SHIMMERING MISS (2) doesn't show much early dash but winds into her races, hitting the line hard to place two back then came home strongly into second (16.96) in a Grade 5 at this track last time. Overdue and expected to feature again. SPEEDY BEN (1) turned in a better effort at Q Lakeside last start, finishing third behind Lakoda Focus (22.22) in a Mix 5. Chased the leaders and with a clean run can be prominent. Bold showing expected. NANDO WATCH (4) is on a run of two minor placings – must be respected.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 3rd in a Mix 5 on October 30 over 390m at Q Lakeside behind Lakoda Focus beaten 4 lengths (22.22). Rates highly and looks tough to beat.
