Mitch Ebeyer • August 7th, 2025 6:05 pm

Well I’d never thought I’d see the day where two six race cards come together to form a meeting but Monday night changed that! Six races at the Q2 followed by six up the Q Straight. Wow. Anyway tonight is a new night of racing and we’re graced with eleven races at Q2 Parklands. The first race is set to step at 6:42pm and the last at 10:28pm. Features on the card are two heats of both the QLD Sprint & Distance Championships. Tune into SEN Track 1593am to catch all the racing action, tips and analysis from 6 to 10pm.
BEST BETS
R7 N4 BLUE BLEND
In some seriously good form and looks to add another picket to that fence. Has won four of his past five starts and that’s the exact record here at the Q2. Has a lovely draw with moderate beginners inside and one dog in box 3 who steps left at box rise which should give space to burn. Looks hard to beat but there is talent in this field. Could drift and if you get evens then well done!
R9 N7 TRICKY MICKY
Set a cracking tempo last start when winning at Q1 beating Goldmine Fire. Looks to have the pace to cross from the wide draw with speed in 5 and 6 and not a stack of serious opposition. Owns a slick 29.68 PB track and trip and a repeat sees a win by panels. Very keen! Expect to shorten.
VALUE BETS
R6 N2 AKELA OLA
Massive last start when leading for a long way after being mowed down by the classy Red Dirt Road. Expect to lead again from the draw, strikes a similar field, likes the track and trip and has good numerical form. Expect the three to be slow early and cause us no issue, the favourite (4) will run mid track and don’t feel the red can hold us out. Each way all day!
R10 N6 COMEDY ACT
Has great box speed and loves a wider draw. Two starts back couldn’t lead from the pink, dropped back in trip last start and love that for tonight’s race. Barely any speed inside to hold us out and the favourite, NEWTON HAYZE isn’t stepping as clean as it can. Expect to be leading and can break 30 seconds.
