Q1 Lakeside Race 8

Eric Thomson Memorial F

Prize Money: $23,000

SALSA (2) is a progressive type who recorded her 3rd career win last time out (25.23) at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Hard to go past. LIVING LEGEND (1) comes here after a speedy win at this track over 457m in 25.39. Smart winner latest and looks a key chance on that form. MYSTIC BLOOM (7) has hardly put a foot wrong of late and will be competitive again.

Impressive performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by 2.25 lengths in a Grade 6/MDN last start at this track, clocking a solid 25.39 over the 457m trip. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.

Won again and recorded an impressive time after running them ragged notching her three straight wins at this track over 457m (25.23). With even luck looks hard to beat again.

Did a good job two starts back at Q Parklands to win by 0.8 lengths in 30.37, beating Arthur Tango. Last start finished 5th on April 2 over 520m at Q Parklands behind Zipping Tesfay beaten 6 lengths (30.39) in a Grade 6. Can't recommend against this lot.
