Q Straight Race 8

Www.theq.au

Stake: $4,165

SECRET STORY (4) goes very well this trip starting 23 times for 15 wins and seven minors. In the money last time at Capalaba (19.79) in a Free For All, finishing a 2.5 lengths third. Expected to go close. COUSIN HENRY (8) was strongly supported last start when a short priced favourite and duly saluted winning by a neck at this track in a handy 18.98. Outside box to overcome but goes well at this distance. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. In sparkling form and looks the one to beat again. ZIPPING SCHRUB (5) boasts a strong record this journey with six wins and three minors from 10 tries. Missed the frame latest (19.86) when fourth over 366m at Capalaba in a Grade 5. Looks one of the chances. RANNOCH (2) found the frame for the second consecutive time when narrowly beaten into second last time out (18.97) over 350m at this track.

Missed the frame last start when fourth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Has ability but will need the right run to feature here.

Comments

Hit the frame last time at Capalaba but the start prior was a strong winner after tracking the speed, scoring by 5.5 lengths in a Free For All at Capalaba and clocking an excellent 19.57 for the 366m trip. Rates a top chance if runs up to time two back.

Solid performance after racing just off the speed to win by 0.8 lengths at this track over 350m (19.12) beating Nope Rope in Mix 5 on February 19. Solid win last time out but this looks tough.

Was out of placings last time (16.83) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and five minors. Looking to others.

Impressive performance to score by a neck in a OPEN last start at this track, recording a speedy 18.98 over the 350m journey. Has the ability and expected to go close again.
