Q1 Lakeside Race 4

Garrard's Horse And Hound

Prize Money: $10,000

BACKCREEK BENNY (8) goes very well this trip starting 27 times for 11 wins and seven minors. Missed the frame latest (29.64) when fifth over 520m at Q Parklands in a OPEN. Rates a leading player. SCUD (1) boasts a strong record this course with four wins and five minors from 12 tries. In the money last time at this track (31.01) in a Grade 5/6, finishing a 2.75 lengths third. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. TRICKY MICKY (4) was in the money last time at Q Parklands (29.99) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 2.25 lengths second. Has already won three times from this draw. Something for the Multiples: PARTY MODE (7)

Missed the frame latest (31.04) when fifth over 550m at this track in a Grade 5/6. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Won two starts back won at this course over 550m. Couldn't reproduced the effort last start when he finished 5th in a Grade 5/6 on August 16 over 550m at this track behind Goldstar Sid beaten 1.5 lengths (31.03). Happy enough to avoid.
