Q2 Parklands Race 9 - Www.theq.au
GRANT KEEPING (4) has been in the placings at his last two runs, most recently when second (25.47) in a OPEN over 457m at Q Lakeside. Key player on best and worth another chance. EXEQUIEL (2) is better than last start when fifth (25.48) in a OPEN at Q Lakeside over 457m. Expected to give a good account. HERE'S THE PLAN (1) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing sixth (30.66) at this track last time. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Must be included in calculations. ELUSIVE HORNET (3) boasts a solid strike-rate from this box.

Looks close to another win after his success on March 14 at Dubbo over 516m. Last start was second over 457m in 25.47, behind Exequiel. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Could only manage seventh last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (25.72) over 457m at Q Lakeside. Has a squeeze box to navigate and needs to find best form to feature.

Resumes from a nine weeks spell and was in the minors at only other fresh up run, finishing third over 520m at Wentworth Park. Major threat on best form.
