Q Straight Race 7 - Garrard's Horse And Hound
ZAZU'S JOURNEY (6) had won two in a row before finishing second (25.36) last time at Q Lakeside. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Capable of going well again. RARE PRESENCE (1) looks close to another win after finishing second from Box 2 last time (16.78) at this track. Expected to be in the finish again. VELOCITY SMOLDER (2) crossed from out wide chasing down the leaders to score by a neck (19.76) at Q Lakeside in Grade 4/5 over 352m. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (16.93) in a Grade 5, finishing a 0.9 lengths fourth. Has two wins and three placings from seven starts from the draw. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Was out of placings last time (16.74) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 3.5 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Hit the frame last time at Q Lakeside but the start prior was an impressive winner scoring by 5.5 lengths in a Grade 6/MDN at Q Lakeside and clocking a fast 25.33 over the 457m trip. Expected to push the clock again here.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Q Lakeside over 390m in 22.15. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 390m at Q Lakeside at Grade 5 level. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.
