Q Straight Race 2

Ladbrokes Top 2/3/4 Betting

Prize Money: $2,700

CRISIS AVERTED (4) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing seventh (19.68) last time in a Grade 6 at this track. Should be very hard to beat this time. BIG NATE (7) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (19.48) last time in a Grade 6 at this track. Has ability and is one of the better chances. BLACK IS BACK (3) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 300m (17.17). Has ability and is one of the better chances. TOMMY KNUCKLES (8) is building a nice sequence of placings and is sure to play a big role again.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 520m at Q Parklands. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Has finished fourth at her last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 300m. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Latest effort finished 7th in a Grade 6 on May 14 over 350m at this track behind Luminate beaten 6 lengths (19.68). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.
