Gold Coast Race 3 - Sky Racing Mdn Plate
CARDONETTE (6) resumes for the premier Gollan yard and can win if the awkward barrier is managed. Brings three narrow defeats, including two in town. Owns and easy Doomben trial win and gets in well with the 2kg claim. Has been heavily bet and missed a nose at Eagle Farm at her lone fresh outing. HEAD OF THE RIVER (7) has placed her last two and has more to give. Will get every chance to fight out the finish. TEXAS (12) has switched to the Gollan yard. He raced forward 44-days ago at Hawkesbury on debut, but folded up. Was well supported and brings a close-up trial placing from Doomben. Has a handy gate and 2kg claim, and the betting will be key. HELLO PUNTERS (2) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 1000m at Sunshine Coast. Has been freshened and has won a trial here since. Will push forward and will give a sight. THE GRAND DUCHY (14) is an improver who will also push forward. Should be around the mark.

On debut. Three-year-old filly by Better Than Ready out of She Went Wish. At the most recent trial finished fifth on November 20 at Deagon over 650m. Doesn't shape as a strong winning hope today.

Three-year-old filly (Zousain - Cara Blanca) will no doubt benefit from the three trials prior to her debut today. Was second in a Doomben trial over 1000m March 17. Wait and see what she can do.

At the latest run raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 9 at this track 3yo Mdn on March 21 over 1000m, head behind Jeans with 57.5kg at $5. The run before that faded in the straight 7th of 11 at Toowoomba 3yo Mdn-Sw on February 28 over 1200m, 6 len behind Brave Horatius with 58kg at $7. Should run well again and is definitely in the mix.
