Q2 Parklands Race 5

Ladbrokes Brisbane Cup Prelude F

Stake: $24,840

IRISH BILL (1) has a strong record this trip with three wins and four placings from eight starts. Hit the frame latest (29.61) when second at this track in a OPEN. Expected to go close. MUSTANG HAYZE (2) hit the frame last time at this track but just a few starts ago ran slick time when scoring over 520m at Albion Park in 30.06. Top win three back and can measure up again. TAORMINA (8) had second look this course and distance latest and improved on her time, finishing a 3.5 lengths third in 29.77. Will be in this for a long way. PAW VORTEX (4) is hard to fault of late and is a strong top-three hope again.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a one length second but did clock a hot 29.61 for the 520m trip. Has the ability and looks hard to top.

Placed last time (30.71) at this track in a OPEN, finishing third and beaten 8 lengths. Has three successes and three minors from nine starts from box 2. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest finishing third (29.99) at this track. Tricky draw to overcome. Has ability and should run well.

Has finished in the placings at last two, the latest when second (30.00) over 520m at this track. Drawn awkwardly. Looks tested in this line-up.

Impressive performance showing plenty of speed to score by one length in a S/E Group 1 last start at Sandown, clocking an excellent 29.29 for the 515m trip. In form and worth thought again.

In the money last time at this track (29.77) in a OPEN, finishing a 3.5 lengths third. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Has ability and should be around the money.
