Q1 Lakeside Race 9

Gorski Engineering

Stake: $10,800

BLUE BLEND (2) caught the eye with a fast early split last time and setting up a 5.5 lengths win at Q Parklands over 520m in 29.53, making it two wins on end. In great form and can continue his winning ways. EXTREME TENSION (1) was in traffic and failed to finish last time but prior to that was a Grade 4/5 winner in quick time (29.56) at Q Parklands. Has the ability and can atone with the right run. DAYSEA'S RORY (8) ran the fastest on the card last time scoring by 4 lengths (19.39) at Capalaba. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. BAREFOOT ELSA (4) profiles nicely here at this trip.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Q Parklands over 520m. Last start failed to finish the race over 520m at Q Parklands on June 19. Yet to be beaten in three starts out of this draw. Sure to go well.

Impressive performance to post a big 5.5 lengths victory in a OPEN last start at Q Parklands, clocking a brilliant 29.53 for the 520m trip. Has the ability and expected to go close again.

Was in a purple patch of form before proving a little disappointing last start, finishing sixth at Capalaba over 366m. Has plenty of ability good beginner who will take catching despite the middle draw.

Finished in the minors last time in a NG at Grafton when a 4 length third but did run an excellent 25.29 over the 450m journey. Harder here and one for the multiples.
