Q Straight Race 8 - Independent Liquor Group
UNACCEPTABLE NED (1) had been racing in honest fashion recording two placings in a row before finishing fourth (22.34) at Q Lakeside latest. Has never missed the frame here at the trip from three starts. Can discover winning form. GAME ON GREG (2) produced a modest effort most recently when sixth at Q Lakeside over 390m behind Sandave Staples (22.54) in a Grade 5. Worth following up. PANAMA FLAME (3) turned in a fair 5th placed finish last time at this track over 300m (17.02). Comes through a solid form race last start. Can do much better this time. TEMPLE OF GOLD (4) has strong credentials at this circuit over this journey.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 4th over 390m at Q Lakeside beaten 6 lengths (22.34) behind Spring Graf in a Restricted WIN on February 20. Had been in strong form, hitting the frame two times on end, before the latest effort. Can atone.
