With plenty happening down south, you can find our race-by-race betting strategy<\/strong> and form analysis<\/strong> ahead of this Saturday’s meeting on the Gold Coast down below!<\/p>\n\n\n

A son\u00a0to Yes\u00a0Yes\u00a0Yes, he got right back\u00a0around\u00a0midfield in the end and was a fair way back still approaching the turn, bolting in though with a tidy turn of foot to win by more than a length.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s\u00a0only third-up and finds a similar race with the experienced Cejay Graham returning to the saddle, so all signs point toward another honest effort.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Built neatly into the campaign, winning a Benchmark 60 over 1400m here last start by just over a length from Lady Windermere after being sent out favourite. He had resumed with a sound third at Sunshine Coast, beaten just over two lengths as favourite, and now stays at a distance where he is unbeaten from two runs.

\n

EXCEED THE SALE (1)<\/strong> deserves another chance after finishing a length off in second\u00a0at Eagle Farm three weeks ago.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tony Gollan\u2019s filly found the clear out very wide close to the outside running rail, running on strongly but still proving no match for High Authority along the inside.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She was a clear\u00a0winner\u00a0the start prior at\u00a0Doomben\u00a0where she was given a more economical sit in behind the speed before bursting clear, so with the claim helping her out at the weights and an inside gate to her name this time, she should be hard to beat.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

TARAVIA (10)<\/strong> is a much better chance third-up than the price suggests.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a decent rise in class for the son to Tarzino, but there was plenty to like about his front-running win on the Sunshine Coast last start where he found something extra down the straight to pull\u00a0nearly two\u00a0lengths clear.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0know himself stripping right back to 52.5kg in the saddle and from another soft gate,\u00a0he\u2019ll\u00a0be fast into stride and\u00a0very difficult\u00a0to catch with improvement still to come.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Improved third-up to win a Benchmark 65 at Sunshine Coast, beating Demarcay by just under two lengths after leading to the turn and finding again.

The son to Snitzel angled into the clear down the outside but still left himself too much of a job to do, knuckling on well for third in the end in a good go for the line.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s\u00a0always been an honest type and simply needs a touch of luck from the wide gate to go his way.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Finished third first-up in a mid-week Class 3 at Doomben, beaten two and a half lengths as favourite after settling well back and doing his best work late.

PRECISE STAR (6)<\/strong> has gone up short odds and for good reason.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tony Gollan\u2019s gelding made it four on the trot when he went half a length clear at Eagle Farm over\u00a0shorter\u00a0last start, arriving back on the Gold Coast for the second time after making a mess of his rivals here three runs back.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The apprentice claim helps him out significantly at the weights and he maps to roll straight to the front and run the race on his own terms.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Arrives in winning rhythm after taking a Benchmark 70 at Eagle Farm over 1500m, beating Detrimental by half a length as a short odds-on favourite. That backed up a four-length Class 2 win at Ipswich over Wounder, so the progression is clear.

SPIRIT OF BARTY (12)<\/strong> appears close to another win.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tony Gollan\u2019s mare has been racing well without\u00a0winning and is looking to snap a run of recent placings that dates right back to the start of July.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A daughter to Spirit\u00a0Of\u00a0Boom,\u00a0she\u2019s\u00a0held her own in some tougher races in Brisbane recently and typically does her best racing over these short sprint trips. Look for her to land midfield and save her best for the finish.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0previous\u00a0Group 3 winner has been racing in slick form of late, finding the cash in all three of his starts this time in work down in Sydney.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is\u00a0a serious step\u00a0back in\u00a0class\u00a0and although the trip is well short of his best,\u00a0he\u2019ll\u00a0be tough to beat with class and a recent trial win on his side leading in.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He had also been well beaten by 25 lengths in the G1 ATC Australian Derby at Randwick, so the raw form is poor, but this is a sizeable class drop and he has won a trial at Grafton.
