9Nite Chill

Our price $8.00 · SP $15.00 · Cejay Graham

Her recent form is solid with two seconds followed by a respectable 5th last start. The likely fast tempo will suit her closing style, and barrier 5 gives options. Jockey Cejay Graham is in excellent form with 5 wins from her last 20 rides.

2nd pick7th
3Ibegood

Our price $15.00 · SP $91.00 · Tiffani Brooker

Ibegood brings excellent credentials with 3 placings from 4 starts and is perfect at this distance range with 3 placings from 3 attempts. Second-up today with a good second-up record and dropping significantly in class. The middle barrier (10) is advantageous given the track bias.

3rd pickScratched
8Miss Mclaren

Our price $5.00 · Ryan Maloney

The engagement of quality jockey Ryan Maloney is significant, and the favorable barrier 4 should allow for a good position in running. First-time gear changes (ear muffs pre-race, tongue control bit) suggest connections are addressing potential issues.

Value pickScratched
16Floral Legend

Our price $12.00 · Jasper Franklin

She has 3 placings from 12 starts and performs well at this distance (2 placings from 3 starts). The addition of blinkers for the first time could sharpen her up, and she has experience on soft tracks.

Winner6. GreyzousSP $3.60
★ Top pickWon
6Greyzous

Our price $3.80 · SP $3.60 · Bella Youngberry

She's dropping significantly in class after competing well in stronger company, has a proven record at this track (1-1-1 from 4), and maps to get a perfect trailing position behind the likely leaders. The lightweight and in-form jockey Bella Youngberry (20% strike rate) further enhance her claims.

2nd pick4th
8Cindersea

Our price $4.50 · SP $3.50 · Jasper Franklin

Lightly-raced mare who impressed winning last start at Ipswich over 1100m. Second-up today after that victory and should strip fitter. The Franklin/Freedman combination adds further confidence, and her lightweight gives her strong claims.

3rd pick6th
2Pareto

Our price $5.50 · SP $3.50 · Danny Peisley

The wide barrier is a significant concern at Gold Coast, but he's proven at the distance and has shown ability on soft tracks. The class drop is a positive, and if he can overcome the barrier disadvantage, his strong finishing ability gives him claims.

Value pick7th
3Razors

Our price $4.80 · SP $7.50 · Ben E Thompson

Razors represents excellent value dropping significantly in class after competing at Group and Listed level. While his first-up run was only moderate, he typically improves second-up (0-1-1 from 5 starts) and the return of blinkers is a positive gear change. His soft track record (1-3-1 from 10) is solid, and from barrier 6 with Ben Thompson aboard, he should get an ideal midfield position.

2nd pick3rd
8By The Way

Our price $6.00 · SP $1.75 · Jaden Lloyd

The advantageous barrier 4 draw at Gold Coast is significant, likely allowing this runner to secure a forward position in a race that should favor on-pace runners. Jaden Lloyd is a capable rider, though his recent form has been modest.

3rd pickScratched
15Boss Mode

Our price $4.20 · Ryan Maloney

Returns from spell with a strong first-up record and gets the services of Ryan Maloney who combines successfully with the Gollan stable. The significant class drop from open company is a major positive, and his tactical speed should overcome the barrier.

Our price $3.20 · Cejay Graham

Though unproven at 1400m, his racing pattern suits Gold Coast's tight-turning track, and he's shown tactical versatility in recent runs.
