Gold Coast Poly Race 4

Sal National (Bm58)

Prize Money: $28,000

RHETORIC (1) brings the strongest recent form after closing impressively for third on the turf, beaten just over half a length, and his record at around 1050m is strong. He was wide and unable to quicken in a BM65 at the Sunny Coast Coast two back, so the latest effort reads as the better guide. STEFFI ELECTRICA (3) is the obvious danger, having been run down late when odds-on at this track and also coming off a narrow BM74 second at Coffs. SUN SISTER (6) has been less effective of late but has earlier form that measures up. Not dismissing completely. JEANS (5) returns and strips for a recent trial here on the turf. Looks best of the rest.

Comments

Closed strongly for third at Gold Coast last start, beaten just over half a length by Canadian Fling after settling back and picking up impressively. He had covered ground when sixth in a BM65 at Sunshine Coast the start prior, so there was merit in the turnaround. Despite the weight, he brings the best recent profile.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Resumed with a solid third at this track, beaten a length by Our Combination after tracking the speed and being run down late as odds-on favourite. Her previous run was a narrow second in a BM74 at Coffs, which is strong form for this grade, and she has been highly consistent at around 1050m. The 2kg claim keeps her right in the race.

Comments

Returns after four months off following a plain second last at Toowoomba, where he was beaten six lengths after settling just off the lead and laying out around the home turn. His previous Gold Coast third was much better, beaten just over half a length after leading and being pipped late. Not hopeless fresh.

Comments

Had excuses when last in a BM65 at this track last start, with stewards noting she became unbalanced near the 250m and was steadied near the 150m. The margin was still six lengths and she had also finished last at Lismore, where she blundered on jumping, so there is risk in the recent form. Place hope if she bounces back.

Comments

Returns after four months off with a second in a Gold Coast Poly trial to suggest some fitness is in place. She ended last campaign with a fair fifth in a BM55 at Gatton, beaten just under five lengths after settling back, and was also fifth in a Class 1 at Gold Coast when unwanted in the market. Has placed at this track, but must sharpen to win.

Comments

Returns after three months off having finished seventh at Beaudesert at the end of last campaign, beaten four and a half lengths in a BM55 after failing to finish off. She was also second last at Kilcoy the run prior, where she began awkwardly and raced wide early. Allan Chau's track record is a positive, but being unplaced in three tries at around 1050m leaves her with plenty to prove. Can't recommend at this stage.
