Q2 Parklands Race 8 - The Q Melbourne Cup 5th Grade F
CANYA DETONATOR (2) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 5.5 lengths at this track in a handy 30.13 beating GYPSY GIRL PEARL. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. TERRA BELLA (1) jumps from box 1 for the first time after placing latest at this track (30.17) in a Grade 5. Form here at the trip sound including three wins. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Must be included in calculations. BAGLESS BRUTE (3) goes very well over this track and trip including three wins. Hit the frame latest (19.13) when third at Q Straight in a Restricted WIN. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. BIONIC BILL (7) profiles nicely here at this trip.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 520m. Last start finished 3rd on October 8 over 350m at Q Straight behind Jada Hayze beaten 2.5 lengths (19.13) in a Restricted WIN. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on October 4 over 520m at this track behind Smokin' Jill beaten 2.25 lengths (30.26). Fair run last start but needs to improve further.
