RACE 2 

MINOS (11) is one of the main fancies for the series behind Leap To Fame and has been dealt a blow on night one of the series drawing poorly on the back row. He really made a statement two starts ago at this track taking a sit on Sweet On Lexy and running straight by him late in a brilliant 1.51.9 mile rate. He ran another terrific race last start when sitting on the pegs and flashing home into a very good third behind Leap To Fame and The Janitor. Despite the back row draw he clearly looks the horse to beat in this race and should go very close. 

BAY OF BISCAY (3) sat one out one back last time out when finishing second behind stablemate Fox Dan. Two starts ago he was able to find the lead at Maryborough before slowing them down to a walk and dashing home a quick last quarter to beat War Dan Buddy. He may be able to work to the lead again in this race and should run well if he can control things out in front. 

SWEET ON LEXY (6) he led last time out and rated flying time himself for the 2138 at this track but was just beaten by a better horse in Minos who went on to frank that form running a good third last start to Leap To Fame. He has a front row draw and showed he is capable of doing work in his races two starts ago when breezing and dominating over the mile. He can run a race at odds. 

CHEERSTOLOU (8) is one of QLDs better hopes in the series behind the obvious two in Leap To Fame and The Janitor. He hit the line well last time out in behind them in what became a dash home where Marketplace controlled things and ran a quick last quarter. He follows one of the better chances on paper in Max Delight and should be close enough in the run to be dangerous late with luck. 

SELECTIONS: MINOS (11), BAY OF BISCAY (3), SWEET ON LEXY (6), CHEERSTOLOU (8)

SUGGESTED BET: MINOS (11) to win.
