Q1 Lakeside Race 7 - Ladbrokes Racing Club
SAPPHIRE KING (1) was below best last time when fifth but three back was a Grade 4/5 winner in quick time at Ipswich. With a good start should be able to take advantage of the rails draw. Likely to improve sharply this time. RAFFA (6) boasts a strong record this journey with four wins and four minors from 10 tries. Hit the frame latest (21.95) when second at this track in a Grade 5. Among the main chances. WHISTLE AWAY (4) is a consistent type who is new to this track. Comes into this after an impressive win last time scoring by 5.5 lengths at Albion Park (22.60). Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Leading chance again. CLEAN CUT (2) deserves plenty of thought at his first run at this circuit.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (26.02) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths fifth. Has two wins and three placings from six starts from the draw. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when third (30.84) over 520m at Albion Park. Tends to go fairly well off the draw and capable of a better result.

Did a good job two starts back at Ipswich to win by 8 lengths in 17.13, beating Golden Bell. Last start finished 4th over 288m at Ipswich beaten 8 lengths (17.57) behind Tuta Bam Bam in a P5 on January 30. Prepared to just watch this time.

Impressive performance to post a big 5.5 lengths victory in a Grade 5 last start at Albion Park, clocking a hot 22.60 for the 395m trip. Has the ability and looks hard to top.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Albion Park over 395m. Last start finished 2nd on April 13 over 390m at this track behind Super Leon beaten 5.5 lengths (21.95) in a Grade 5. Racing well and can find winning form again.

Starting from wide draw and has been unwanted at recent poor starts. Risky starter likely to be additionally hampered by wide draw. Not among the main chances this time.
