Q Straight Race 5

Garrard's Horse And Hound

Prize Money: $2,700

FIRE IN BELFAST (2) claimed his maiden two back when strongly fancied to break through then fourth last time, beaten 2.75 lengths (20.33) at Capalaba over 366m. Boxed well here. Better than latest and can atone here. CRACK A BEER (5) is progressing well with another good run, placing by half a length (19.48) in a Grade 6 at this track. Hard to beat again. HARD STYLE MISS (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (20.60) in a Grade 6 at Q Lakeside. The form out of last race has been strong. Should play a prominent role. STEEL CARESS (3) can sneak into the finish with the right run.
