Gold Coast Poly Race 1 - Ringers Western Mdn Hcp
LOGAN DOWNS (2) earns top billing after a sound first-up second at Kilcoy, where he was sent out favourite and was only beaten a length despite knuckling on jumping and hanging out from the 400m. Strips fitter and can get the job done this time. DIRTY LIL' DIVA (10) resumes from a five-month break with first-time blinkers, a 2kg claim and a latest trial that was a close second at Gold Coast, so she has enough new factors to improve on two winter runs in NSW. INZAIN DRAGON (5) was narrowly beaten on debut as favourite before finishing fourth at the Gold Coast, and third-up fitness keeps him firmly in the mix. SYMO'S BOY (3) comes off a third at this track and has two placings from four tries around 1150m. Should be hitting his straps now and is drawn cosy. In the mix.

Returns from a four-month break after a difficult Bendigo debut, where he started at long odds and finished last, beaten over 13 lengths on soft ground. He was tightened near the straightening and eased, but the margin still leaves plenty to make up. Trials offer a little, but race form has to lift sharply.

Put himself right in the race first-up at Kilcoy, finishing second to Quantum Overdrive after being sent out favourite and beaten a length. He knuckled on jumping and hung out from the 400m, yet still fought on bravely. Fitter now and looks the one to beat.

Finished third at this track last start, beaten just under three lengths after leading and being safely held late, with a lost rein or whip near the 100m adding some context. His previous Gold Coast fifth was only beaten a length and a half after tracking the lead. The quick back-up and 1150m record are queries, but he can hold a place.

Makes her debut from barrier one with first-time blinkers, which gives her at least one positive setup factor for a maiden of limited exposed depth. The concern is the lack of recent trials or race evidence, leaving punters to take plenty on trust. Market may guide.

Has shown enough in two starts to be a major player, beginning with a debut third at Gold Coast when favourite and beaten just under a length after racing keenly. He then finished fourth at Gold Coast on soft ground, beaten just over four lengths after jumping awkwardly and not going on. Third-up now and drawn to get every chance.

Back after five weeks following a Sunshine Coast second over 1400m, where she sat handy, moved into it and was run down late, beaten just under four lengths by Castaway. That was a clear improvement on her Kembla Grange seventh at long odds. The drop to 1150m is the sticking point, but she has place claims.

Was fourth at Warwick last start in country company, beaten just under three lengths after racing handy, covering ground and failing to finish off. This is stronger company, and the Grafton run prior was only fair when seventh, beaten four lengths. Others look better placed.

Placed on debut at Gatton after beginning well and travelling behind the speed, but she was still beaten five lengths by Pinot Pirate as one of the main chances in betting. She has not raced around 1150m before, so the extra ground is an unknown despite the earlier trial win at Deagon. New trip now and more finish is required.

Back after five weeks since a plain Warwick debut, where she settled rearward, made no impression and finished second last, beaten over 11 lengths at big odds. There was no clear excuse in the run, although earlier trials included a close Beaudesert second. Has to improve sharply.

Returns from a five-month break with a close second in her latest Gold Coast trial, first-time blinkers and a 2kg claim all helping the fresh case. She had excuses in both winter runs, including being bumped and steadied at Wyong when sixth to Mindgames, and being held up early before finishing fifth at Gosford. Prior runs had excuses, so she can improve sharply.

Was only beaten two lengths when sixth at Ipswich last start, but he led into the lane, tired late and was unwanted in the market, so there was no strong excuse. His Gold Coast fourth two back was also close enough, beaten two and a half lengths by Dirty Harry. Place chance if he finishes off better.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing last in Saturday company at Eagle Farm, beaten seven and a half lengths at long odds after jumping awkwardly and racing keenly. This is an easier meeting and the 3kg claim helps, while his one previous try around 1150m produced a placing. Easier company, a 3kg claim and prior 1150m placing keep him in the place mix.
