Q Straight Race 9 - Gorski Hardox Tough Tippers
ZABDON JUSTICE (4) shapes nicely here coming off a blistering 16.52 win at this track over 300m. In form and looks the one to beat again. PIPER BEACH (2) goes very well over this trip including two wins. Comes off a (16.61) win last time, scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Grade 6 over 300m at this track. Looks suited here and can measure up. BIG OPERATOR (1) was in the minors two back (20.06) at Q Lakeside but ran below best last time there, finishing 7th. Has a good record here at this journey. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. Cannot be underestimated.

Was out of placings last time (20.37) at Q Lakeside in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 14 lengths. Has two minors from four starts from box 1. Key chance and should go close.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by a neck in 16.83, beating Juju Blue. Last start finished last in a Restricted WIN on February 20 over 390m at Q Lakeside behind Spring Graf beaten 8 lengths (22.45). Can't recommend in this field.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fifth (19.14) at this track over 350m. Rates among the chances this time.
