Capalaba Race 7 - Merv Page Cup 5th Grade H
AERATION (4) wound up strongly to place two back then did the same last time, finishing on late when third (20.11) in a Grade 5 at Q Lakeside. Has a good record at this journey. Deserves a win and gets his chance. RIPPIN' PIKE (2) missed the hat-trick last start when third and beaten 2 lengths (30.11) last time at Northam. Must be included in calculations. STOWAWAY (8) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at Q Parklands over 710m behind Beautiful Child (42.29) in a OPEN. Was in the money prior to that. Worth following up. SPIKE MILLINGTON (1) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

In the money last time at Northam (30.11) in a Grade 5/6, finishing a 2 length third. Has performed well off the draw with a win and three places from six starts. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 350m at Q Straight. That followed a win two back in 19.45 beating Austrian Rose over 350m at Q Straight. Not among the main chances this time.
