Q Straight Race 8 - Ladbrokes Black Book 5Th Grade H
BERNARDO BLUE (8) is generally an honest type in the frame at four of nine starts but missed the placings last time when fourth (22.27) over 380m at Townsville. Has never been out of the money in four starts this course. Rates highly here and will go close. KICKIN' TYRES (7) comes off a big run when third in a fast 16.49 at this track over 300m. In form and looks a leading player again. ALES AND NAILS (1) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 300m (16.95). One of the better hopes. SIRMIONE (2) was a surprise last-start placegetter worth considering.

Had been in consistent form with three minors on end before missing the frame last start when sixth (16.85) at this track. Tough draw to overcome and will need the right run to feature.
