Q Straight Race 6 - Garrard's Horse And Hound 5th Grade H
TOP THE LOT (1) scored by 3.5 lengths last time (18.78) in a Grade 5 over 350m at this track. Makes strong appeal on best. HUFF AND PUFF (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (20.45) last time in a P5 at Q Lakeside. Has a good record at this journey. Worth another chance. FLAMES RETURN (7) missed the frame latest but had been racing well prior to that including a Grade 6 win two back (19.55) at this track. Has the ability and expected to do much better. SKETCHY STORY (8) has been a model of consistency and deserves plenty of thought.

Recorded the fastest time on the card after leading to make it two on end at this track over 350m (18.78). Looks suited and should go close again.

Latest effort finished 6th in a P5 on August 5 over 352m at Q Lakeside behind Smooth Panther beaten 4.5 lengths (20.45). Happy to overlook recent efforts. Well placed and gets chance to find best.

At the last start finished 4th on July 31 over 390m at Q Lakeside behind Backburn Bluey beaten 8 lengths (22.34) in a Grade 5. Should be around the mark.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (19.33) over 350m at this track. Boxed awkwardly and needs to find best form to feature.
