Q Straight Race 9 - Gorski Hardox Tough Tippers
SHIAN GABRIELA (1) scored by 2 lengths last time (18.92) in a Restricted WIN over 350m at this track. Appeals as a leading chance in this. PRETTY PROUD (4) box seated early before forging to the lead turning and lifting to score (19.35) at this track in a Grade 6 over 350m. Should be in this for a long way. VITESSE ETOILE (2) jumped from the same box last time when a 1.5 lengths second (30.55) at Q Parklands over 520m. Harder here but expected to feature again. DETECTIVE (7) can run a bold race on best form.
