Mitch Ebeyer • July 10th, 2025 7:23 pm

After Saturday nights disaster the spotlight has been firmly on the new development in racing, The Q. Cancelling one of the biggest races in the land was less than ideal but let’s do our best to turn the attention to tonight’s card and find winners, encourage safe and fun racing and draw the positive spotlight to the Q1.
The first race is scheduled for 6:28pm and the lucky last, get out stakes, race 12 pencilled in for 26 minutes past 10 o’clock. Quality fields, variance in distances and some value to be had. Tune into SEN Track 1593am from 6-10pm to catch all racing and tips from the Q and other states!
BEST BETS
R5 N8 TANK KEEPING
Fast dog down in class and drawn well to feature. Went well enough first look at the Q1 and expect a big jump in improvement on the time 25.50. The favourite is slick early and has a few lengths on us from last week. In good hands and expect to fire. Class act!
R7 N8 BIG EASY AL
Stats say drawn poor but feel the dog has lost the art of stepping fast. Was running nice splits three and four back and a return to that form sees a huge chance. Strikes a race with moderate pace inside so if steps can lead but if not gets a midfield sit and runs on. Great chance!
VALUE BETS
R8 N7 WAIKARIE VENOM
New here and boasts some slick times around Rocky and Townsville. Expect to push forward early and hoping for an unimpeded mid race run. Goes nicely off inside and outside draws so box is no problem. Can lead the favourite (8) and looks value at $10 plus!
