Q1 Lakeside Race 8 - Independent Liquor Group
FARMOR BACARDI (1) is a sprinter who excels over the short dashes. Last start winner over 407m at Rockhampton in a Free For All (23.64) and less ground suits even better. Form here at the trip excellent including five wins. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. The one to beat again. FROM A DISTANCE (6) shapes well after a speedy run last time, finishing second in a Grade 4 at this track in 19.40. Harder here but expected to measure up. EASTLY BREEZE (2) was impressive last time, posting a strong 19.67 when third behind Cake Is Great and clocking a new PB this course and distance. In form and looks a leading player again. OPTIMALITY (7) justified the favourite's tag last time - sure to feature again.

Comes off a (23.64) win last time, scoring by 1.75 lengths in a Free For All over 407m at Rockhampton. Boasts two wins and two places from four starts off the draw. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Hit the frame at this track last time when a 5.5 lengths third but did record a slick 19.67 over the 352m journey. Has the ability and looks hard to top.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (19.78) in a Grade 4, finishing a 6 length fourth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and four minors. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (20.52) in a Grade 3/4, finishing a 9 length fourth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Finished in the minors last time in a Grade 4 at this track when a 1.5 lengths second but did run a brilliant 19.40 over the 352m journey. Has the ability and expected to go close again.

Strong performance to win by 6 lengths at this track over 390m (22.00) beating Mamma's Gift in P5 on December 19. Winner last time and looks well placed again. Worth following up.
