Q Straight Race 8 - Gorski Engineering

SHIMMERING LAD (6) scored his first victory last start at this track over 300m (16.72). Ideally placed to take this out. NEED SKI MONEY (7) ran below best last time finishing sixth (17.14) over 300m at this track in a Grade 6. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. DRINKING TOWN (4) hasn't been far away here at the last two, finding the frame both times, most recently when second beaten 4 lengths (16.88). Deserves a win and gets his chance. BLACK IS BACK (1) cannot be underestimated.
