Q1 Lakeside Race 5 - Eric Thomson Memorial H
TO XIBALBA (1) was safely held on debut after settling well back when fifth (30.77) at Q Parklands over 520m. Has the inside box this time. Look for sharp improvement here. MOONSHINE MIRAGE (7) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Turned in a fair debut run over 520m at Q Parklands where he settled off the pace and battled on to finish fifth (30.77) and beaten 12 lengths. Further improved and has the inside draw this time. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 457m at this track. Others preferred on this occasion.

Didn't make the placings last time at Q Parklands (30.48) in a Grade 6, finishing a 4.5 lengths fourth. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and tends to spot them a start in his races, Last start finished fourth over 352m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Showing promise and was a winner three back. Last start missed the frame when a 7 length fourth (25.94) at this track. Rates well on best and expect a better run this time.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (25.79) at big odds over 457m at this track. Has a wide draw to navigate but capable of a better result.
