Gold Coast

Today, Flat5f
Verdict

ICYMISS (8) is ticking along nicely, with a narrow Warwick third as odds-on favourite following a close Sunshine Coast second on soft ground. She does rise from country company, but the form is current, she has handled wet tracks well and her record with Boris Thornton strengthens the case. ADORA DJON'S (10) is lightly raced and returned a maiden winner at Beaudesert, doing enough late as odds-on favourite. Has enough dash to offset the wide alley and should give backers another bold sight. CAXTON LASS (1) drops back from stronger benchmark racing and boasts a strong record here. Is better suited returning to 1200m. THRASH A BULLY (2) has been safely held at big prices, but the drop from NMW grade and the apprentice claim give her a platform to run into a minor placing. SHAPIN POWER (7) made an encouraging return on the Poly but went amiss here last time. Has been freshened with a month between to try and get him back on track.

    Verdict
    Resumed with a determined Maiden win at Beaudesert, starting odds-on and holding Emphatique by just over half a length despite jumping awkwardly. Her previous Doomben third in a 2yo F Maiden on soft ground was also solid, beaten just over a length near the top of betting. Wide draw is the test, but she is a strong chance.

    Verdict
    Settled well back and never threatened when eighth in NMW grade at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths at big odds after jumping awkwardly. Her Eagle Farm run prior in 3yo+ Class 3 grade was also from the rear, though she made some ground without threatening. The step back to 1200m is a query, but she can run into a place.

    Verdict
    Has been knocking on the door, finishing third at Warwick as an odds-on favourite when beaten half a length after being wide near the 650m and picking up strongly. That followed a close Sunshine Coast second on soft ground, so the current form is clearly the best in this field. Handles wet ground, reunites with Boris Thornton and looks the one to beat.

    Verdict
    Worked below her best when sixth in a Benchmark 70 over 1400m at Sunshine Coast, beaten six and a half lengths after racing keenly early and only holding ground. Two back she was held up late in a Benchmark 65 at Ipswich and was beaten just under two lengths. Top weight is the query, but her best form gives her a strong winning case.

    Verdict
    Had genuine excuses when second last at this track over 1000m, beaten over 10 lengths after being steadied near the 700m and showing an awkward action from the 200m. Her prior second at Gold Coast Poly was a better guide, beaten a length and a half after racing handy and working home evenly. Third-up at 1200m, she has a genuine place profile.

    Verdict
    Eased back from Saturday company after finishing last in a 3-4yo Benchmark 70 at Eagle Farm, beaten over 18 lengths on soft ground after racing wide early and being forced wider. That gives some excuse, and her previous Beaudesert fourth was much sounder, beaten just over two lengths after travelling forward. Last run was wide and costly, but she still profiles as an outside place hope.

    Verdict
    Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing last in a Class 1 at this venue, beaten over 13 lengths after leading and dropping right out. She did win a 3yo Maiden at Doomben the run prior, beating Artistic Endeavour at generous odds, but her six unplaced runs at this track and two unplaced tries around 1200m are clear concerns. Doomben maiden win is a reference point, but this track and trip record is against her.

    Verdict
    Failed to make any impact first-up at Grafton, finishing last in a Class 2 and beaten just over eight lengths after settling rearward. That was country grade and this is a harder assignment, while her previous Grafton ninth as favourite in a Benchmark 50 on heavy ground was only moderate. Others appeal more.

    Was wide throughout and laid out around the home turn when seventh in a Benchmark 50 at Nanango, beaten just over seven lengths. This is harder than that picnic assignment, and she was also safely held at Goondiwindi the start before. Improvement is required.

    Verdict
    Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a 3yo Maiden win at Sunshine Coast on heavy ground, beating Lottery Link by just over half a length while racing keenly enough to lay out throughout. She had earlier placed at Sunshine Coast Poly, so there is some ability, and her 1200m record includes a win. Has won at 1200m, but readiness is the question without a recent trial supplied.

    Verdict
    Returns from a two-month break with a Deagon trial last week to help bring her on. Her latest Sunshine Coast eighth was plain after jumping awkwardly and settling well back, but two back she was beaten only two and a half lengths in a Benchmark 65 on soft ground despite early trouble. Recent form is mixed, but her 1200m record keeps her in the place discussion.
