Q Straight Race 8 - The Golden Chase Straight H
SCRUB'S BLUE (1) was a handy 21.75 winner of a Grade 6 at Q Lakeside last start. Top win latest and looms as the one to beat again. HARA'S OTIS (3) carved over from wide out and boxed on strongly to finish 1.75 lengths away in second (25.50) behind Hara's Oden at Q Lakeside. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from three starts. Can measure up. RAY'S ATTACK (8) has some solid form under his belt and proved too classy last time to win by 6 lengths at Q Lakeside in a handy 22.10 beating Goldstar Mckenna. Sure to measure up. SLIM NIKITA (7) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 3 lengths over 390m at Q Lakeside in a handy 21.75, beating Borneo Kawaii. Well suited by the draw. That last win was in the quickest time on the card. Stick with him.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 4.5 lengths third at this track but did record a solid 19.00 over the 350m trip. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.

Hit the frame latest (25.50) when second at Q Lakeside in a Restricted WIN. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Makes strong appeal.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 300m at this track. Prepared to risk on this occasion.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by one length at this track (19.06) beating Great Terms in a Grade 5 on February 5. Would be better placed in something easier.

Has finished fourth at his last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 350m. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Good effort to win last start by 6 lengths over 390m at Q Lakeside in a handy (22.10), beating Goldstar Mckenna. Racing well and can win again.
