Gold Coast tips and results

Our price $2.80 · SP $3.50 · Dylan Turner

Shark Park is the clear form pick in this maiden. The mare has placed at 1900m and 2170m in recent starts, showing genuine staying credentials. Dylan Turner retains the ride and has a 25% strike rate with trainer Marcus Wilson.

Our price $5.50 · SP $4.40 · Emily Lang

The step up to 1800m on Good 4 turf should suit her staying profile. Emily Lang is in outstanding form with 6 wins from her last 20 rides and barrier 5 gives her every chance to settle in a handy position.

Our price $5.00 · SP $11.00 · Nozi Tomizawa

She has placed twice at Doomben over 1650m showing staying credentials.

Our price $2.80 · SP $2.80 · Brandon Lerena

She won her penultimate start over 1950m on Soft 5 at Ipswich, demonstrating both stamina and wet-track ability. Dropping back to Class 1 over 1800m on Good 4 suits perfectly.

Our price $5.00 · SP $9.50 · Micheal Hellyer

Wedding Vow won her maiden last start on Heavy 9 at Ipswich over 1690m, showing she handles wet conditions and staying distances. The jockey/trainer combination is strong at 25%, and Hellyer retains the ride having won on her previously. The concern is the step up to Good 4 conditions where she has no record, and the class rise from Maiden to Class 1. With only 2 career starts, she remains lightly raced with upside, but the unknown good-track form is a risk.

Our price $2.80 · SP $3.10 · Luke P Dempsey

Proven soft track performer with 2 wins from 11 soft starts. Barrier 6 suits the Gold Coast track. Last two runs at higher class (BM88) on Heavy 8 and Soft 7 provide excuses. The main concern is no record at this track or distance, and recent form shows placings rather than wins.

Our price $7.00 · SP $19.00 · Nozi Tomizawa

Bright The Sun holds the most compelling course and distance credentials in the race, having won at Gold Coast over 2227m on Soft 5 - almost identical conditions to today. The track and distance record of 1 win from 1 start is a significant positive. Two recent 3rd placings at Ipswich over 2150-2200m demonstrate consistent staying form.

Our price $9.00 · SP $7.50 · Taylor Marshall

Gypsy Wish showed excellent recent form finishing 2nd at Gold Coast on Soft 6 just 15 days ago, and has a solid track record of 1 win and 2 placings from 6 Gold Coast starts. Barrier 4 is ideal. However, the significant class rise from BM68 to BM78 combined with a major distance step up to 2226m (no record at this trip) makes this a speculative value play.

Our price $2.80 · SP $4.00 · Bella Youngberry

The 1000m distance suits with 4 wins from 16 starts, and barrier 3 is ideal at Gold Coast. The 52kg weight with claim is a significant advantage.

Our price $7.00 · SP $7.00 · Georgina Cartwright

The first-up record shows consistent placing without winning.

Our price $3.50 · SP $6.00 · Jett Newman

Sapphire Reign is the standout selection based on her dominant 1000m record (4 starts: 2 wins, 1 second, 1 third) and proven ability on soft going. Barrier 2 allows her to settle handy and control the race from the front, perfectly suiting Gold Coast's positional bias.

Our price $5.50 · SP $3.10 · Brandon Lerena

Barrier 5 suits forward racing and the Lerena/Sears combination has a strong 25% strike rate.

Our price $3.50 · SP $31.00 · Charlie Bennett

Barrier 6 allows a handy position from the outset, critical at Gold Coast. Dropping from Open company to BM65 represents a genuine class relief.

Our price $4.50 · SP $5.00 · Bella Youngberry

Switch The Stars has an impressive 2 wins from 3 career starts and most recently won an Open class race at Rockhampton in May 2026. The concern is barrier 11 requiring forward work at Gold Coast, and jockey Youngberry's poor recent form.

Our price $4.00 · SP $2.90 · Emily Lang

The horse won a maiden at Eagle Farm over 1000m on Soft 5 in May 2026 and has soft track credentials, but stepping up significantly in class from maiden to BM65 from a wide gate is a tough ask. Emily Lang's form is excellent but the barrier negates much of the advantage.

Our price $5.50 · SP $11.00 · Chloe Lowe

Jockey Chloe Lowe is in excellent form at 30% from recent rides and has won on this horse previously. The Good 4 record of 6:3-2-0 is outstanding for today's conditions.

Our price $4.00 · SP $3.20 · Bella Youngberry

Heavenly Impact won this exact race type - Class 3 at Gold Coast 1400m on Good 4 - just two months ago, and now drops back from a BM78 assignment. The track and distance record of 1-1-1 from 4 starts is compelling. The concern is the jockey booking (Youngberry in poor form) and a poor last start on soft ground. However, the Good 4 conditions today suit him better and the class drop back to his winning level is a significant positive.

Our price $10.00 · SP $6.50 · Brandon Lerena

Chicago King won last start at 1400m on Soft 6 and carries a significant weight drop from 63kg to 56kg today. His Gold Coast record of 1 win and 1 place from 2 starts is encouraging, and his soft track record of 2 wins from 4 starts is strong. The concern is the significant class rise from BM55 to Class 3, and today's Good 4 track where he has no wins from 13 starts on good ground.

Our price $8.00 · SP $6.50 · Fiona Sandkuhl

Electric Arrow has excellent soft track credentials with 4 wins from 9 starts on soft going, and ran 2nd at Gold Coast last start on Soft 6. However, today's Good 4 track is a concern as the mare has 0 wins from 24 starts on good going. The jockey's 0 wins from 16 rides at Gold Coast is also a significant negative.

Our price $7.00 · SP $5.00 · Courtney Bellamy

Tarps won at Gold Coast on Soft 5 at BM65 two starts ago, making this directly relevant form. Barrier 5 is ideal and the jockey/horse combination has a 50% strike rate. The last start was poor (8th at Eagle Farm) but that was at BM70 on a different track. The main concerns are Bellamy's poor recent form and the very fast predicted tempo.
