Q2 Parklands Race 3 - Garrard's Gold Cup H
WITHOUT A TRACE (4) took the sit on the lead from an outside box but levelled up and drew clear to score (36.06) at Sale in S/E Group 1 over 640m. Winner at her latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. The one to beat again. ZIG ZAG MAN (2) ran good time (34.36) when third last start over 600m at this track, the second placing in a row. Can feature with the right run. MEPUNGA LARA (7) was strongly supported last start when a short priced favourite and duly saluted winning by 5 lengths at The Meadows in a handy 34.46. Wide box to overcome but likes the trip. Ran the fastest time on the program in her latest win. Can continue on with her winning form. GOLDSTAR PRADA (8) has strong credentials at this circuit over this journey.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 710m in 41.71. Followed that up with a minor placing over 710m at this track at OPEN a week ago. Happy to risk this time.

Finished in the minors last time in a OPEN at this track when a 2.75 lengths third but did run a brilliant 34.36 for the 600m trip. Expected to push the clock again here.

Good effort to win last start by 5 lengths over 600m at The Meadows in a handy (34.46), beating Hector Darcy. Among the chances and worth following up.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when second (41.83) over 710m at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw but is among the better hopes.
