Q Straight Race 8 - WWW.THEQ.AU 5Th Grade H
ELUSIVE HORNET (2) produced a modest effort most recently when seventh at Q Lakeside over 352m behind Swift Cannon (20.16) in a Grade 5. Good beginner aided by a nice draw. Looks the one to beat on his best form. ODDS ARE GOOD (1) held his own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only 1.5 lengths (16.77) behind Classic Boodie at this track. Expected to feature. BUSH BOUQUET (8) has been out of the placings last couple but caught the eye when clocking a 29.80 over 520m at Q Parklands three starts back. Has the ability and can find winning form again. LUCORA (3) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit.
