Q Straight Race 9 - Gorski Hardox Tough Tippers 5th Grade H
ISLA COAST (8) is a well performed sprinter ideally suited at the shorter trips. Scored over 300m at this track last time in a Grade 5 (16.52). Is yet to taste defeat at this course and distance. The form out of last race has been strong. In top form and looks a key chance again. SCOTCH AND BYE (1) settled down midfield and held her position to the line when finishing 4th (19.28) at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from three attempts. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. MAN ON FIRE (3) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 0.8 lengths win at this track in a handy 19.00. Fair draw can see a good run and goes well at this distance. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Leading chance again. YOU TELL HER (2) collected a minor prize last start and must be considered.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (19.28) at this track over 350m. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (16.91) over 300m at this track. Has a low draw. Cannot be ruled out.
