Gold Coast tips and results

Our price $5.50 · SP $13.00 · Brandon Lerena

Stepping to 1200m second-up looks ideal and he maps to race on the speed, which the Gold Coast sprint bias rewards. The wide gate and a stable and jockey both in a lean patch are the risks, but his class edge earns top billing.

A progressive filly who ran on well for fourth at this track a fortnight ago and now gets blinkers plus the inside draw, the ideal starting point for a 1200m sprint here.

Our price $6.50 · SP $18.00 · Dylan Turner

Righteous is a consistent type who handles the soft and should be handy in a race lacking a real leader. He ran well at Grafton over this trip and has been placed regularly since.

Our price $9.00 · SP $14.00 · Aidan Keeley

He should lead without pressure in a slow-run race that suits front-runners, handles the wet well and gets in off a light weight. He doesn't win often, but a soft lead could see him hold on, or at least run into a place.

Our price $4.50 · SP $7.50 · Kyle Wilson-Taylor

She can lead uncontested in a slow-run race, which is the best way to ride this track. The return to winkers should settle her after a flat run last start in blinkers. Weight and a cold jockey are concerns, and the track data suggests leaders are less dominant in Open grade.

Our price $6.50 · SP $10.00 · Tom Orr

His soft-ground record is the best in the race and he ran a gutsy third here over 1800m last start, finishing a long way wide. A claim off his back and a drop in class both help.

Our price $3.60 · SP $4.40 · Frederick Larson

Argentum Rock gets the nod as the most likely winner on form. He ran well over this exact course and distance on a Soft 7, he is a class drop and he should settle handy from a good gate. In a slowly run race that is the right position at Gold Coast.

Our price $3.90 · SP $4.40 · Archie McColm

The map suits, with a trail just behind the leader, and she has finished second on both soft starts. But her recent runs have been flat, she didn't see out her races when she led last time, and the stable has not won at this track in 17 tries. She is safest for the placings.

Our price $9.50 · SP $13.00 · Jason Taylor

Sea Warning is the value play. He is the only true leader and the pace is expected to be slow, and uncontested leaders are the ones who benefit at Gold Coast. He led and ran third over this trip last week and has a soft win to his name.

Our price $4.60 · SP $4.20 · Karl Zechner

Our price $7.00 · SP $6.00 · Chelsea Baker

Supersonic Man is the horse most likely to lead and he has an excellent second-up record. The negatives are the 59.5kg on a soft track, the wide barrier that could stop him crossing to the front, and his habit of weakening once headed. If he gets the lead cheaply he will be hard to run down.

Our price $5.00 · SP $5.00 · Boris Thornton

Dirty Harry won over this course and distance on soft ground and is on the way up. He is a late-finishing type, which counts against him on this map, and the wide gate is not ideal. However, he is lightly raced and appears to be improving. A tempo that quickens would help him.

Our price $6.00 · SP $9.00 · Georgina Cartwright

Archers Reign is the clearest map horse who is also race-fit. From barrier five he should sit just off Canadian Fling in a race with only one leader, which is where Gold Coast miles are usually won, especially when the pace is only slow. He has won this course and distance, likes soft ground better than firm, and carries 55.5kg.

Our price $7.20 · SP $11.00 · Danny Peisley

Barrier one and an on-pace style put him in the right part of a slow Gold Coast mile, the stable is in form, and he has already placed twice on soft and won at this track.

Our price $5.20 · SP $13.00 · Benjamin Osmond

Herman Said is the horse best equipped to control a slowly run 1200m on Soft 7. Three of his five soft starts have been wins, and he has already won twice at the trip. As the only natural leader he should cross from barrier 7 and get the rail, which is the right spot at the Gold Coast. Kris Lees has him fit four runs into the campaign.

Our price $6.50 · SP $5.50 · Micheal Hellyer

Her earlier second on Soft 7 at Doomben is the right reference for today's going, and 56kg is a handy weight.

Our price $4.40 · SP $6.50 · Brandon Lerena

The Gambling Greek maps to control a moderate 1200m from barrier five, the spot this short chute rewards. He has four wins from eight at the trip and a tidy third here three weeks ago that leaves him fitter second-up, with a win already on soft and a drop out of stronger races. The stable and rider are cold, and he flattens if he cannot lead.

Our price $6.50 · SP $8.50 · Dylan Turner

Swifties has the best wet record in the race, with three wins from five on soft, and she fought hardest when scoring at Lismore in similar ground two starts back. She drops out of an open handicap after a wide eighth and Dylan Turner can have her just off the speed from barrier nine. The stable has not won with its last twenty runners, she has never started at the Gold Coast, and a moderate tempo gives a midfield horse less help if the leader is allowed to dictate.

Our price $7.50 · SP $6.00 · Archie McColm

Pareto is the proven deep-ground horse, with one win and four seconds from nine on soft plus two wins from five on heavy, including a Gold Coast second in a stronger race on heavy. The claim brings him down in the weights and barrier six is workable. He is second-up, a stage where he places without winning, and his first run back was a flat tenth after racing four wide.
