Q1 Lakeside Race 5 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm
AKELA KUNG FU (7) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (30.65) at this track behind Ruin Art in a Grade 4/5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Capable of going well again. HIGHWAY PRINCESS (5) quickly into stride to win over the 642m at this track two runs back then settled forward again when finishing second at Q Parklands last start. Will give a great sight again. HOOKED ON MAGIC (2) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten a nose (25.54) behind Shout Out Shazam at this track. Leading chance. DAYS OF WONDER (1) was in the money last start in fast time - poses a threat again.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 600m at Q Parklands. That followed a win two back in 30.13 beating Asawa Baby over 520m at Q Parklands. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 642m. Last start finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on December 11 over 710m at Q Parklands behind Goldstar Darcy beaten one length (42.36). Looks a strong winning hope.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and tends to spot them a start in his races, The latest effort was a 10 length eighth over 550m at this track. Likely to find this a bit tough.
