Gold Coast Race 8 - Carbine Club Qld Hcp (C5)
MIDNIGHT DRIFTER (4) dominated first-up at the Sunshine Coast then found a Class 6 in a metro race here too rich last start. Has never been in the money second-up so that miss is not alarming. Has a strong record at 1400m, drops in grade, and will be rock-hard fit at the third run back. NODACHI (5) is a new arrival in the Tony Gollan stable. Form this prep in Victoria has been underwhelming. Freshened up and back in grade so a far better run looks on the cards. LADY SHOTGUN (3) settled well back and failed to make an impression at her latest appearance over 1200m at Doomben. Finds an easier race this evening and will appreciate the extra 200m. Goes well here so plenty to like about her prospects. BLANTONS RUN (8) caught the eye when a close fourth over 1350m at Doomben last start. Back in class and strips fitter at the third run back from a spell. COOL PANELS (7) doesn't know how to run a back race. Not drawn the best but will give 100% as always.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up won by 1.75 len at Sunshine Coast Bm68 February 22 over 1200m defeating Joy A Plenty carrying 57kg at $16. Second-up sat behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 11 at this track Cl6-Sw on March 14 over 1400m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Castillian carrying 58.5kg at $12. Worth another chance back in this far easier race.

Comes off a 44 day let-up. Most recently raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 9 at Sandown-Hillside F&M Bm74 on February 25 over 1400m, slow going 9 len behind Terilee with 59kg at $41. The race before that ran last in a small field at Caulfield Heath F&M Bm74 on February 9 over 1600m, 7 len behind Mystery 'N' Drama with 60kg at $14. Now with Matthew Dunn and should make an immediate impact for the new stable.
