Gold Coast Race 1 - Qld Jewel Raceday Mdn Plate
Tricky race to kick off the card with a few of these babies facing the starter for the first time. Of the raced brigade SNIPER BOOM (1) is unlucky to still be a maiden placing in both starts to date and strikes a winnable contest here. Gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. SUMMER SENSATION (8) was well in the betting on debut but just missed the frame on that occasion. Where there's smoke there's fire and should be going very close. WRITTEN ACLAIM (2) performed above expectations when at the races for the first time and will have derived some experience from that hit-out. In the mix. BRAVE ETOILE (4) is on debut but has shown ability at the trials and any market confidence must be noted. THE AUTUMN AFFAIR (9) next in line from the favourable draw.

Raced twice to date. At debut, 2nd in a small field at Eagle Farm 2yo Hcp on January 31 over 1200m, 2 len behind Satomi with 59kg at $16. Last start tried to lead throughout but was claimed late in a small field at Sunshine Coast 2yo Mdn-Sw on February 13 over 1200m, slow going 1.0 len behind Gold Czech with 58kg at $3.50. Racing well. Close to a win and gets his chance this time.

Jumped at long odds at debut, 3rd in a small field at this track 2yo C&G-Swp on January 10 over 1100m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Itchintogo with 56kg at $41. Won a Gold Coast trial over 1000m on February 24. Great chance to get off the mark.

Filly by Anders making her first appearance. Half-sister to one-start maiden Indamouse. Dam was a winner of nine races. Was runner-up in a trial at Beaudesert on January 12 over 1050m. Prefer to see.

First starter. Two-year-old filly by The Autumn Sun out of Nailed It Nan. Dam was a winner of six races. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 1000m at Doomben February 10. Worth watching for any market moves.
