Gold Coast Race 4 - Tab One Pool (Bm62)
BETTER NOT SLIP (6) resumes and appeals as the one to beat off her form and the form around her last time in. She has had a Doomben trial placing to prepare, and her last campaign included Listed Queensland Day Stakes exposure before a sound Doomben fourth when awkwardly away. CRYPTIC BEAUTY (1) is race-fit and comes off a BM65 second at Sunshine Coast, beaten a lip after fighting hard, with strong wet-track and distance credentials. CRYPTO MISS (4) is a genuine danger if she puts the Toowoomba mishap behind her, having lost the rider as favourite after knuckling on jumping, while her prior Eagle Farm fourth in a had merit given she raced wide. IDLEONBY (2) is also in the mix after running into the placings at Eagle Farm, where interference didn't stop her finishing hot on their heels. SUNSET ADIOS (10) progressed nicely off his maiden win with a strong closing effort here last time, just missing the bob. Still improving and has to be included.

Went within a head of Oohlalouvre in a Benchmark 65 at Sunshine Coast last week, sitting just off the lead and fighting strongly on soft ground. Her Doomben fifth prior was also sound, beaten just under two lengths as favourite after being tightened late. Top weight is the query, but she rates as a strong winning chance.

Improved sharply in Saturday company at Eagle Farm last start, finishing third in a Class 1 and beaten just over half a length after early interference. That was a clear rebound from her previous Eagle Farm run, where she led and weakened badly in a 3-4yo Benchmark 68. A repeat puts her right in the minor-money mix.

Comes off a narrow Class 1 win at Bowraville, beating She's A Wild One by a head after being bumped at the start and fighting on well. Happy to overlook.

Had no chance to show her form at Toowoomba last start, losing the rider as favourite after knuckling on jumping in a Benchmark 65. Her previous Eagle Farm fourth in a 3-4yo Benchmark 68 reads well, as she was at big odds, raced wide throughout and was still beaten only a length and a half. Prior Benchmark 68 fourth had merit, and a clean beginning makes her a major player.

Returns from a lengthy spell with a Doomben trial third behind her, which gives her a sound platform for a first-up run. She ended last campaign with a Doomben fourth after beginning awkwardly, and the run prior came in the Listed Queensland Day Stakes where she struck interference. Fresh profile is solid and she brings the strongest winning case.

Won a Benchmark 58 at Dalby last start by a long neck after firming into very short odds-on territory, having been run down late as short favourite in a Benchmark 55 at Toowoomba before that. Her overall and 1000m records are strong, and Les Tilley has already won on her. Harder BM62 test keeps her below the main hopes.

Was beaten a nose at this track last week in a Benchmark 58 after being held up near the 250m, so there was clear merit in the run. He had earlier broken through in a Maiden at Coffs Harbour as a well-supported favourite, beating Rubinsky by half a length. Apprentice claim helps, and he looks a genuine place chance again.
