Q Straight Race 8 - GORSKI ENGINEERING 5Th Grade F

HOLD THE GAVEL (1) has a strong record here with four wins and a minor from seven starts. Scored by 2.5 lengths last time (18.90) in a Grade 5 over 350m at this track. Looks suited and should go close. DAWN SURE CAN (2) is better than last start when fourth (19.33) in a Grade 5 at this track over 350m. Form at this distance is sound. Should be about the mark. ELUSIVE HORNET (6) did a good job to finish third last time (19.12) over 350m at this track. Can play a role again. MANILA PHANTOM (9) has a decent record at this track and distance. Can be competitive.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2.5 lengths in 19.19, beating Make 'Em Rain. Last start finished 5th over 350m at this track beaten 2 lengths (19.35) behind Little Rowdy in a Grade 5 on April 23. Racing well and has to be included.
