Capalaba Race 7 - Annual Pest Management
NEXT BLACK JACK (6) steps out for the first time at this course. Missed the frame last time when 4th and beaten 3 lengths (24.00) at Rockhampton. Can bounce back. USHUAIA (8) has a strong winning strike-rate here with four wins and a placing from seven tries. Was out of placings last time (19.70) at this track in a OPEN, finishing sixth and beaten 2.5 lengths. Makes strong appeal on best. ZIPPING GRESSIER (2) is better than last start when fourth (23.10) from Box 2 at The Gardens over 400m. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Expected to give a good account. HARA'S USAIN (1) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Missed the frame latest (31.46) when sixth over 550m at Q Lakeside in a Grade 5/6. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and five minors. Suited here and expected to run well.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (24.00) at Rockhampton over 407m. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by a nose in 19.97, beating Outback Gold. Last start finished 6th on September 30 over 366m at this track behind Tip Toe Flow beaten 5.5 lengths (20.22) in a Grade 4/5. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Last couple of starts have been ordinary but he goes well over this track and distance with four wins from seven starts. Has run hot time here with a 19.47 PB at the distance. Key chance.
