Q2 Parklands Race 2 - Middle Distance Challenge H
VALIDATE (4) comes into this as a quickest on the card winner last time at Q Lakeside, scoring by 6 lengths (30.49). Has good speed and will be prominent despite the squeeze draw. Form reads well for this. GOLDMINE FIRE (7) goes very well at the course and distance with two wins and a placing from four starts. Was out of the placings last time (30.99) at Q Lakeside in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths. Can feature in the finish. ZEPHYR (1) was a last-start winner from the inside at this track over 520m (29.92), scoring by 3.5 lengths. Expected to be in the finish. WHISKEY SERVICE (8) is worth consideration after filling a hole last start.

Good effort to win last start by 3.5 lengths over 520m at this track in a handy (29.92), beating Big Easy Al. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Stay with him.

Last start finished fourth over 710m at this track, beaten 6 lengths (42.76) behind Goldstar Darcy in a Grade 5 on December 11. Can't recommend him in this.

Effortless winner to score by 6 lengths in a OPEN last start at Q Lakeside, recording a fast 30.49 over the 550m journey. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.
