Q Straight Race 8 - WWW.THEQ.AU 5Th Grade F
ZIPPING HOULIHAN (2) got around 520m in a fast 29.82 when winning a Grade 5 at Q Parklands last start. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest. SANDAVE STAPLES (1) is worth forgiving for her last effort when fourth (16.79) at this track over 300m. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Has a strong record from box 1, including two wins. Should be about the mark. ZIPPING MEHARY (7) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 3 lengths at Q Parklands in a handy 29.87 beating Terra Bella. Solid beginner and with a good start should have clear running out wide. Should be in this for a long way. LITTLE ROWDY (8) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three spot from this box most recently.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th in a Grade 5 on May 11 over 300m at this track behind Flying Seal beaten 2.75 lengths (16.79). Placed two back at this track. Unbeaten in two starts from this box. Key runner.

Was the fastest winner on the program to make it two in a row at Q Parklands over 520m (29.82). Rates a leading player on recent form and will go close again.

Good performance to post a big 3.5 lengths win at this track over 350m (19.48) beating Jilliby Dymar in Grade 5 on May 7. Can't recommend in this field.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 520m at Q Parklands in a handy (30.07), beating Shima Polly. Will find this a bit tougher, likely to struggle this time.

Won two starts back at Capalaba over 366m in 20.20. Followed that up with a minor placing over 350m at this track at Grade 5 a week ago. Likely to struggle this time.
