Paper Doll is a consistent mare with three seconds from five starts. She's proven on soft tracks with one second from two attempts and should be prominent from barrier 5 with Boris Thornton aboard.
She's second-up today and should improve, while getting a significant class drop for this assignment.
She has a strong first-up record with one third from one attempt and is consistent with two thirds from five starts. From the Tony Gollan stable with Madeleine Wishart aboard, she can run a big race fresh.

Ninjask brings the strongest recent form with consecutive second placings, including at this track. Well-drawn in barrier 6 and should get an ideal midfield position in a race with likely fast tempo, setting up for a strong finish.
Lucky Artie brings strong international form credentials having raced in Hong Kong. His second placing when fresh at Gold Coast suggests he handles the track, and barrier 7 should allow him to settle midfield and finish strongly in this fast-tempo race.
Best Eagle is an unknown quantity as a first starter, but several factors suggest potential. The inside draw is advantageous at this track, and the likely fast tempo could suit if he can establish a forward position. The addition of a tongue tie first time suggests connections are addressing any breathing issues. While carrying top weight, his barrier advantage could prove decisive.
With 5 placings from 8 starts including 2 from 2 on soft going, he's reliable in these conditions. Barrier 5 gives options to settle on-pace in a race that should suit his running style.

Carpet Call Mdn Plate
Croker appears well-placed to take advantage of the race setup with an inside barrier draw and likely forward position. The addition of a tongue tie first time suggests trainer Kurt Goldman has him ready to perform. The inside barriers advantage at Gold Coast further enhances his winning prospects.
Her only previous start produced a respectable fifth placing, and she's drawn to get a perfect midfield position.
He's dropping significantly in class and has valuable race experience with 6 career starts. The wide barrier is a concern, but his strong finishing ability should allow him to overcome this disadvantage if the pace is genuine.
She's first-up from a spell but drops significantly in class for this maiden assignment.

His track and distance record is impressive, and he's drawn perfectly to take advantage of the likely fast tempo.
Giving Delight profiles strongly as a second-up specialist with an excellent record (3:2-0-0) in this pattern. Well-drawn in barrier 4 and dropping slightly in class, he should be right in the finish.
The addition of blinkers for the first time could spark significant improvement, and his previous win at this track is encouraging. While recent form has been moderate, he has the ability to improve sharply and should be suited by the likely fast tempo.
Shapin Power represents excellent value with a strong record at this track (6:1-1-1) and proven ability on soft going (6:1-3-1).

Trakida Jericho Cup (Heat) (Bm70)
Progressive stayer who has been building nicely toward this distance test. Has placed in 6 of last 7 starts showing remarkable consistency. The step up to 3200m looks suitable based on his finishing efforts, and his track record of 3: 0-2-1 suggests he handles the Gold Coast surface well. Represents the best winning chance.
Has won up to 2450m suggesting stamina reserves, though unproven at this extreme trip. Likely to settle on-pace from barrier 5 which should be advantageous given the moderate tempo expected. Top weight is a concern but has carried similar weights successfully. Represents a solid winning chance.
While unproven at the extreme distance, his racing pattern suggests he'll handle it. Represents solid each-way value.
Has proven stamina having contested a 3170m race previously, and importantly ran 3rd last start at this track over 2400m. While the win strike rate is poor (50: 3-4-2), this mare tends to run on well in staying events. The lightweight of 54kg is ideal for this marathon trip, and Masuda is a capable jockey. Represents excellent each-way value for small stakes.

Tate Brownlee Real Estate (Bm60)
Enhance brings strong credentials after an impressive first-up win at this track and distance. While carrying top weight, he drops 3.5kg from his last start win and has proven soft track ability. His consistency (6 placings from 12 starts) and tactical versatility make him the standout.
Platinum Lies brings strong credentials with 5 wins from 21 starts and a solid record at this distance (2-2-1 from 11). Her recent form includes two 4th placings in stronger company, and she's placed at this track previously. While carrying a substantial 59.5kg, she handles soft tracks well (1-2-0 from 5 starts) and should be finishing strongly in what looks to be a fast-tempo race.
Woosh Ka Boom represents the strong Tony Gollan stable and returns first-up with a solid record on soft tracks (1-0-1 from 4 starts). Her tactical versatility should allow her to overcome the wide draw, and the stable is known for having their horses ready to fire fresh.
Vesper Lynd represents excellent value after an impressive maiden win at Eagle Farm. While facing a class rise, she gets in with just 55.5kg and has an improving form pattern. The wide barrier is a concern, but her strong finishing burst should be suited by the likely fast tempo.

Angus Flexible Pipelines Australia (Bm62)
Her soft track record is excellent with 2 wins from 4 starts, and she's shown remarkable consistency with 3 wins from just 6 career starts. While stepping up in class, her progressive profile and tactical versatility suggest she can handle this assignment.
Rose Of Shiraz comes off an impressive win at this track over the same distance and has shown an affinity for the Gold Coast with a win and a second from three attempts. Her soft track credentials are solid, and the slight drop in class from her last start win is a positive. With a good draw and weight relief, she's well-positioned to run another strong race.
His barrier draw is ideal for his running style, and he should get a perfect run in transit. The main concern is his record on soft tracks, where he's yet to win from five attempts. If the track improves, he becomes a major player.
Second-up from a spell for the Gollan stable, he's drawn perfectly in barrier 2 and should get an ideal run in transit.

Yeah Copy brings the strongest recent form into this race with a 2nd and 3rd in his last two starts. While he's rising slightly in class, his consistency and ability to perform at this distance (1-6-3 from 18 starts) make him the standout selection.
Port River Billie brings solid recent form with consecutive placings and has shown improvement throughout her career. She's well-weighted and drawn to get a good run from barrier 4. The 36-day freshen-up is a slight concern, but she has performed well fresh previously.
Motorbike is a lightly-raced gelding with promising form, finishing 2nd last start at Ipswich. While he's facing a significant class rise and is unproven at the distance, his natural ability and good barrier draw give him strong claims in this field.
This progressive mare is coming off a win at Lismore and has been very consistent with a record of 1-3-1 from just 8 starts. While she's facing a significant class rise, her progressive profile suggests she has more to offer.
