Gold Coast Race 3 - Gallagher, Protect What Matters (Bm78)
KRAKARIB (2) goes well for hoop Martyn who has a win and three placings from just five steers and again gets the benefit of her 2kg claim. Looks to be working up to another victory and should be right there at the business end. DREAM HOUR (1) resumes here but will find this easier than what he was facing when last in work. Respect from the Lees barn. LETMELETGO (4) is a four-time winner over this six-furlong journey and gets the services of Wiggins in the irons. Top-three commodity. WATERMELON (6) strips fitter second-up from the break and looks one for the exotics players. BRAVELY (7) rounds out the selections with the 3kg claim.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation seventh of 10 at Doomben Bm78 October 25 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Keitel carrying 58kg at $41. First up last campaign ran last of 11 at Randwick 4yo+ Bm78 July 26 over 1300m, soft track; 25 len behind Lugh carrying 58.5kg at $41. Looks very hard to beat.
