Gold Coast Race 8 - Silks Under The Stars December 19 Free Entry Hcp (58)
KETTLEBELL (4) resumes. She mixed her form last time in but was largely running in better races than this, measuring up decently well in town. This is a fairly moderate race and she can get away with it fresh. BACKSTAGE (1) resumes. Not sure 1000m is his go but he's run well over 1200m in better class than this and he does have some pace. If he's zippy enough he'll take some beating. DARLING TAKE CARE (5) broke through for a narrow maiden win at Ballina when last seen, tracking the speed and getting the upper hand late. All her form is at this trip and she maps for a very similar run here. XUANFENG (9) is fresh for this. He can mix his form a bit but is with a new yard here and has the ability on his day.

Racing well recently. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.6 len at Ballina Mdn November 25 over 1015m on a rain affected track defeating Spicy Wings with 57kg at $3.10. The run before that sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 7 at Ballina Mdn-Sw on November 14 over 1005m, slow going 1.75 len behind The Torque Xpress with 57kg at $6. This is harder, each way.

Dual acceptor. Last start raced on the pace before fading to run last of 10 at Sunshine Coast 0 - 58 on November 30 over 1000m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Belle Affair carrying 54kg at $31. The run before that ran last in a small field at Rockhampton 3yo Hcp on October 3 over 1050m, slow going 9 len behind Our Eagle Rock carrying 54kg at $8.50. Happy to risk.
