Q1 Lakeside Race 9 - QGOLD Veterans H
HEY ERNIE (2) was well fancied last time on the back of some sparkling form, which included a two-start winning streak, but could only manage fifth (19.20) at Q Straight. Comes through a solid form race last start. Can bounce back. DO RUN BANDI (4) scored (16.73) last time out at Q Straight adding to an already respectable career. Has a strong record out of this box with five wins and two minor placings from nine starts. In sparkling form and looks the one to beat again. CASH ON DEMAND (7) was below best last time at Capalaba (20.07) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 3.5 lengths fifth. Has five wins already from this draw. Suited here and expected to run well. SHIMMERING REIGN (3) cannot be ruled out.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 352m at this track. Draws the rail but this will test.

Going well prior to missing the frame last start when well-fancied, finishing fifth in 19.20 over 350m at Q Straight. Drawn closer to the inside this time. Can measure up if he runs to his best.

Won two starts back at this track over 457m in 25.65. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 300m at Q Straight at Mix 5 level. Is a danger.

Scored by 2 lengths last time (16.73) in a Mix 5 over 300m at Q Straight. Box stats strong with five wins and two placings from nine starts. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 457m at this track. Looking to others this time.

Did a good job two starts back at Capalaba to win by a nose in 19.86, beating Ecker Road. Last start finished 5th over 366m at Capalaba beaten 3.5 lengths (20.07) behind Star Assassin in a Grade 4/5 on April 26. Leading chance on best form.

Didn't make the placings last time at Q Parklands (30.79) in a Mix 5, finishing a 14 length seventh. Has three wins and three placings from 12 starts from the draw. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.
