Q Straight Race 5

Ladbrokes Back Box 1 & 8 Combined 5th Grade H

Prize Money: $2,700

MAN ON FIRE (6) has a strong record here with two wins and two placings from five starts. Missed the frame latest (26.42) when eighth over 457m at Q Lakeside in a Grade 4/5. Looks the one to beat with even luck. BLOCKER TIGER (3) resumed from a break finishing fifth (19.14) at this track in a Grade 4/5. Form here at the trip sound including four wins. Worth another chance. ZABDON SKIPPY (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (19.50) in a Grade 5 at this track. Has the ability to give this a shake. SPEEDY BEN (5) should be thereabouts.
