Gold Coast Race 2 - Powered By Next Level Racing Mdn Hcp
THE GREY ONE (6) has clear upside after charging home for second on debut at this track despite racing wide throughout, and that race experience can take him forward. GRANDSTANDER (11) is the immediate danger after missing by a nose at Gatton and has the benefit of race fitness, weight relief and another soft-ground placing two back. WORTHY STUNNAH (1) is also in the mix third-up after consecutive placings, with his Ipswich third better than the margin suggests after being held up passing the 250m. LAWES ROAD (4) stuck on gamely into a midfield finish on debut at Doomben. Is sure to have come on from that and has plenty of upside.

Placed at both runs this campaign and has the right foundation third-up. He kept finding when third at Ipswich last start, beaten two and a half lengths after being held up passing the 250m, and had earlier chased Okanui at Warwick when near the top of betting. Top weight asks something, but third-up at 1400m gives him a strong chance.

Comes back from metro company after finishing second last at Doomben, where he was at long odds and made no impression behind Fleeting Boom. His debut eighth at Sunshine Coast was also only fair, though that came on soft ground and he now gets an easier assignment. Place claims only if he lifts.

Worked home evenly for third at this track when second-up, but the beaten margin was still just over five lengths and he had been an outside chance in betting. His earlier fourth on soft ground at this venue was similar, honest enough without threatening Bon Riviere. Has to finish off harder to threaten the main hopes.

Showed enough on debut at Doomben to be respected, finishing fifth and beaten just over two lengths after being held up on the home turn and again near the 200m. She was unwanted in the market, so the performance had merit, and natural improvement second-up is a fair expectation. The step to 1400m is new, but she can improve into the placings.

Made an encouraging debut at this track, coming from well back to finish second to Wainai on soft ground after racing wide throughout. That was a strong first race experience from a $120,000 yearling purchase, and the market had him near the top of an open betting race. New to 1400m, but the way he closed off gives him a live winning hope.

Was safely held on debut at this track, finishing seventh and beaten just under seven lengths after settling just off the lead and producing only a moderate final effort. He started at big odds and there was no clear excuse in the run, so the form has to be taken at face value. Big improvement required second-up.

Narrowly missed at Gatton last start, finishing second and beaten a nose after settling back and finishing strongly on soft ground. That followed a third over 1600m at the same venue, and he now gets weight relief while staying race fit. Maiden record is the knock, but current form puts him right in this.

Made a sound debut at this track, beginning awkwardly before making up good ground for fifth behind Victoria, beaten four lengths. She started at big odds, so there was more merit in the finish than the market expected, and barrier three gives her a chance to be economical. From barrier three, she can improve into a placing.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing last at Beaudesert, where she began slowly and never made an impression at big odds. Her previous eighth at this track was also well held, and the record of twelve starts without a placing is difficult to ignore. Long maiden record and wet-track figures keep her to the fringes.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a wide, interrupted seventh at this track over 2224m, but he was still beaten nine lengths and had started at long odds. His previous 12th at this venue was more concerning, beaten over 13 lengths despite some interference. Has to turn his form around sharply.
