Gosford Race 5 - Central Coast Locksmiths
TICKETS PLEASE (8) is generally an honest type in the frame at four of 19 starts but missed the placings last time when sixth (26.08) over 450m at Maitland. Form at the trip excellent including three wins. Drawn wide but with a clean break will be tough to beat again. LOCO EXPRESS (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing seventh (20.68) in a Grade 5 at Bulli. Form from his last run is proving strong. One of the main contenders. SMILEY SPARKLES (2) was sent out big odds last time but scored an upset win in a Mix 2/3 at this track (22.31). Solid record here at the distance winning three races. Boasts two wins from four starts out of this box. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. MY BOY AIDEN (3) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 7th in a Grade 5 on March 18 over 340m at Bulli behind Sunnybrook beaten 19 lengths (20.68). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split and ran away with a 4.5 lengths win at this track over 388m in 22.31. Has a strong record from box 2, including two wins. Go close.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (22.66) over 388m at this track. Has a squeeze box to navigate but capable of a better result.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up sixth (17.41) at Dapto over 297m. Can't recommend against this lot.
