Q Straight Race 5 - The Golden Chase Straight S
HAYDEN'S GIFT (4) is on a hot streak recording a 18.74 win over 350m at this track last start following on from a flying 18.84 success at this track over 350m the start prior. Flying lately and looks hard to top. COOLHAND CHLOE (1) drew this same box last time when in the minors (19.10) in a OPEN over 350m at this track. Good beginner and aided by the inside draw. Expected to feature. HE'S PARANORMAL (2) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, hitting the frame latest when 2nd at this track over 350m. Was a winner at his only start from this draw. Can measure up. SCRUB'S BLUE (5) picked up a cheque over this course and distance most recently - in the mix again.

Looks close to another win after her success on January 4 at Q Parklands over 520m. Last start was second over 350m in 19.10, behind Hayden's Gift. Safe beginner and drawn to feature off the inside rail.

In the money last time at this track (19.32) in a OPEN, finishing a one length third. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Improved two runs back to score then won again last start over 350m at this track (18.74), beating Coolhand Chloe. Query squeeze box draw. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Good effort to win last start by a nose over 350m at this track in a handy (19.07), beating Boom Two Down. Will find this a bit tougher, in form but prepared to risk this time.
