Gold Coast Race 4 - Daikin Australia Perfecting The Air Mdn Plate
VICTORIA (13) goes on top after placing on debut at the Sunny Coast despite starting unwanted in betting. She had some interference in the lane but stuck on gamely. Draws well and that first race experience gives her a strong platform. Sharing a similar profile, BYE BYE CASTLE (2) is the main danger, having been beaten just under a length on debut also at the Sunny Coast after settling midfield and closing off nicely to finish within a length of the winner. Has been kept fresh and gets weight relief. The rise to 1400m should also suit. CAPTAIN REDCLAW (3) never looked likely on debut at Doomben but managed to make steady in-roads in the straight. The inside draw and softer assignment give him scope to improve sharply. WEBINAR (9) is better than the Eagle Farm margin suggests after racing wide throughout in Saturday company, and his earlier Grafton debut was sound enough to keep him in the winning mix. Two strong form references also push his case. Gelded PUHARICH (7) is next best.

Makes his debut after one trial at this track last month, finishing fifth over 1000m and beaten nine lengths. The stable has had limited debut success from the supplied figures, and the family reference through One Dream Away does not add a strong early signal. Barrier three helps, but race-day evidence is thin and he looks a watch runner.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a sound debut third at Sunshine Coast, beaten just under a length behind Cyber Boom after settling midfield and working home evenly. He was near the top of an open market there, drops 2kg from that run, and has trialled since. Weight relief helps, and despite the new 1400m test he is a major player.

Debut result reads plain, finishing second last at Doomben, but he was only beaten three and a half lengths after settling rearward, covering ground and giving away a big start. The market missed him at long odds, so there is clear scope for natural improvement. Barrier one and a class drop make him a sharp improver.

Finished last at Talwood in a 3yo+ Maiden at picnic level, beaten over 14 lengths, and now faces harder company. The prior Toowoomba run was better only in patches, as he began slowly and made some late ground without threatening when unwanted in betting. First-time gear helps only at the margins.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing last on debut at Doomben in April, beaten over 14 lengths at big odds in a 2yo Open. He has had two trials since last racing, and the apprentice claim plus first-time gear offer some fresh angles. Debut was poor, so a sharp lift is required.

Returns from a five-month break after finishing seventh on debut at Doomben, beaten just over seven lengths in a 2yo Open. He settled midfield and made some impression without ever looking a winning threat. Wide draw and 1400m query point to a place profile.

Placed at Talwood in a 3yo+ Maiden last start, beaten two and a half lengths, but that was at picnic level and today's company is harder. The Toowoomba run prior was plain when seventh and beaten just under nine lengths. Harder now, but he has minor claims.

Debuts with a long gap since her two trials, the latest back in May when well beaten at Randwick. The pedigree has depth, including city winners Encosta Line and Sweet Adaline, and the trainer's small debut sample is positive. Market may be the best guide on debut.

Worked home better than seventh suggests on debut at Sunshine Coast, settling rearward before picking up late and finishing beaten six and a half lengths behind Mission Of Joy. She was big odds there, so the market did not expect much first-up. New trip is the query, but she can improve into the placings.

Placed on debut at Sunshine Coast despite being unwanted in the market, finishing third and beaten just over two lengths behind Preethical after moving into the race and striking a bump near the 150m. She has already placed at this distance, draws ideally in barrier two and comes from a strong yard. The one to beat.

Caught the eye in patches on debut at Lismore, beginning slowly, being steadied shortly after the start, covering ground and still keeping on for sixth, beaten four and a half lengths. She was unwanted in betting, but her trials were close enough to suggest ability, and the family includes Listed-placed Naples and city winner Cinque Terre. Pedigree adds interest, and she can improve into a place.
