Q Straight Race 11

Ladbrokes Odds Surge

Prize Money: $2,700

WON'T BE LONG (1) comes off an average performance last start when seventh at Q Lakeside over 390m behind Raptor Girl (22.60) in a Restricted WIN. Comes through a solid form race last start. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. TOMMY KNUCKLES (4) goes very well this trip starting eight times for three wins and three minors. Hit the frame latest (16.72) when second at this track in a Grade 5. Can hit the frame with the right run. STRIKING BEACH (2) finds it hard to break through. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when second (16.82) at this track. Will give a great sight again. WISE RICO (5) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Didn't make the placings last time at Q Lakeside (22.60) in a Restricted WIN, finishing a 9 length seventh. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and four minors. Leading chance.

Finished second last time (16.82) over 300m at this track. Has a low draw. Solid top-three prospects.

Last start finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on August 24 over 300m at this track behind Nina Siyan beaten 2.5 lengths (16.72). In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when second (19.37) over 350m at this track. Tough draw to overcome but in the mix on his best form.
