Q2 Parklands Race 3

Box 1 Photography

Stake: $15,080

GOLDSTAR PRADA (5) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing sixth (34.83) in a OPEN at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Tough to beat if on-song. RED DIRT ROAD (8) is a progressive type who recorded his 24th career win last time out (41.76) at this track. Strike rate this course and distance strong having won 10 of 17 tries. Boasts a strong record from this draw with seven wins and four minor placings from 12 starts. Should be in this for a long way. AKELA NINJUTSU (1) finished third last time (42.02) at this track after winning at her previous two outings. Form here at the trip sound including six wins. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Expected to be in this for a long way. UNREAL SPEED (4) in the money here last time and looks a top-three prospect again.

Form has been strong with wins two and three starts back. Last time out finished 3rd in a OPEN on January 8 over 710m at this track behind Red Dirt Road beaten 4 lengths (42.02). Going better than form suggests. Don't underestimate.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (42.39) in a OPEN, finishing a 9 length fifth. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Will need the right run.

Last couple of starts have been ordinary but she does have good record over this track and distance. Has the ability to take this out.
