POP SAID YES (5) missed the frame over 366m at Capalaba latest but ran a fast 19.89 when beaten 7 lengths. Hard to top on the time from last start. HEY ERNIE (8) goes very well this course and distance starting 15 times for nine wins and four minors. Was out of the placings last time (31.38) at Q Parklands in a Mix 5, finishing seventh and beaten 21 lengths. Looks a key chance on best figures. BACKBURN BLUEY (7) goes very well this trip starting 17 times for six wins and nine minors. Comes off a (19.06) win last time, scoring by 1.3 lengths in a OPEN over 350m at this track. Can feature in the finish. TARAWI BUSTER (2) is always a threat when he races at this journey.

Comments

Backs up after winning by one length at Capalaba (19.86) beating Padova in a Grade 3/4 on July 5 four days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and he needs to find another gear.

Comments

Was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 1.75 lengths fourth (19.19) over 350m at this track. Others make more appeal.

Ordinary effort last start when he got back too far over 366m at Capalaba. Prior to that won by a nose at Capalaba (19.79) beating Secret Story in a Free For All on June 17. Has scored four times from this draw. Key runner.

Solid performance after racing just off the speed to win by 1.3 lengths at this track over 350m (19.06) beating Titanium Blue in OPEN on July 2. Makes appeal on the back of that latest win.

Won over this track and trip. Latest effort finished 7th on July 2 over 520m at Q Parklands behind Tahitian Girl beaten 21 lengths (31.38) in a Mix 5. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 8, scoring two times. Go close.
