Q1 Lakeside Race 7 - QGOLD Blitz H
OPTIMALITY (4) hit the ground running from an outside draw with a fast early split, paving the way for a 2.5 lengths win at this track over 352m in 19.50. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. GLEN'S WISH (6) broke a string of placings finishing in the money four on end before a last start sixth (30.25) at Q Parklands. Solid record at the distance winning seven races. One of the main contenders. HUCKLEBERRY HUGO (1) produced a moderate run last time when fifth at this track over 457m behind Outplayed (25.76) in a Grade 5. Has performed well from this box with a win and seven minor placings to his name from 13 starts. Likely to be about the mark. CAN'T TOUCH ME (2) missed the top-three despite market support last time but a better run is on the cards.
