Q Straight Race 9 - Gorski Hardox Tough Tippers
MARINA BAY (7) missed the frame last time at Q Lakeside but the start prior rocketed around 300m at this track in 16.51. Expected to push the clock again here. BY A MIRACLE (6) has been in the money at her last two runs, most recently when third beaten 1.75 lengths (18.98). Overdue and expected to feature again. SIRMIONE (1) had been racing in honest fashion recording two placings in a row before finishing fourth (20.29) at Capalaba latest. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from five starts. One of the better hopes. HARDLY EASY (2) has won at this course and distance and warrants respect.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 4th in a Grade 5 on February 22 over 366m at Capalaba behind Ricky Bobby beaten 3 lengths (20.29). Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Good effort to win last start by 1.75 lengths over 300m at this track in a handy (16.86), beating Haymet Harry. Was strongly supported last start and ran right away with it. Worth following up.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when second (16.67) over 300m at this track. Aided by a low draw but will need to find best.

Hit the frame at this track last time when a 1.75 lengths third but did record a sharp 18.98 over the 350m journey. Expected to go close with a repeat of latest.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 300m. Last start finished 6th in a Grade 5 on March 4 over 352m at Q Lakeside behind Spring Misty beaten 4.5 lengths (20.12). Has run blistering time here with a 16.37 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.
