GOING: N

LADBROKES QUEENSLAND DERBY/OAKS CONSOLATION 2680m

Track: GOOD      

Former Kiwi STRIKEM (3) was good in a Queensland Derby qualifier in his first outing for Shane Graham, coming from a back row draw for third behind the Derby favourite. Enjoys a class drop and is much better served by this barrier. HEEZA MALTEEZA (7) came from a similar draw to this in the Derby qualifier and finished one spot behind Strikem. That continued his consistent form. Can be in the finish again. ITS ELECTRIFYING (9) strikes at 50 per cent here and is good enough to feature with even luck from his second row draw. WILLIAMS (6) has been racing consistently and could get into the finish.
