Q1 Lakeside Race 8 - Independent Liquor Group
WARM COCKLES (7) goes very well this course and distance starting five times for two wins and two minors. Recorded a one length win (30.43) in a OPEN last time at this track. Makes strong appeal on best. VILLAIN OF MAGIC (8) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (19.40) last time in a Grade 5 at Q Straight. Form here sound including three wins. Comes through a solid form race last start. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. PROFESSOR STARR (1) is a handy type who was well below best latest at this track, finishing fifth (31.30) in a Grade 5. Normally safely away but always well back and facing a task from wide out last time. Form here at the trip sound including three wins. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Great chance to atone. ONE RACKET (2) will have admirers again after placing at this track and distance last time out.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won comfortably by 4 lengths at Q Parklands (30.10) beating Savanna Beach in a Grade 5 on February 12. Likely to find this a bit tough.
