Gold Coast Race 1 - Aquis Gold Nugget 2Yo (C&G)
The baby colts and geldings kick us off. TORQUE TO BE SURE (2) just ran into one better here when facing the starter for the first time and is sure to have derived a stack of benefit from that race day experience. Gets the services of Rawiller in the irons and should be going very close with natural improvement. COOL ARCHIE (1) has gotten better with each run and looks to be nearing a maiden victory. Should be ready to peak now third-up from the spell and looms as the main danger. QUIETLY ARROGANT (6) just missed the placings at Randwick on debut and will find this assignment a touch easier. Rates a top-three conveyance. MIDNIGHT SPIRIT (4) saluted at the Sunny Coast on debut when well in the betting and where there's smoke there's fire. Include in the multiples. VAREJAO (7) has shown ability at the trials and any market support must be noted.

Last start favourite; won by 0.8 len at Ipswich 2yo Hcp December 27 over 800m defeating Milestone with 55kg at $3.10. The run before that second last of 8 at Sunshine Coast 2yo Hcp on November 16 over 1000m, in the wet; 2.75 len behind Luva Flutta with 56.5kg at $10. Fitter again but this is a tougher assignment.

Claimed his maiden victory on debut; favourite; won by 1.3 len at Sunshine Coast 2yo Mdn-Sw December 22 over 1000m on a rain affected track defeating Whatta Mission carrying 58kg at $1.95. Has upside and is a serious prospect in this line-up.

Kelly Schweida trained two-year-old gelding lining up for debut. Half-brother to Group 3 winner and Group 2 placed Global Quest. Dam was a winner of two races and Group 2 placed. Won a recent trial at Doomben. Betting the best guide.
