Race preview

Welcome to the Gold Coast for the Tab One Pool Mdn Hcp over 1000m on a Soft5 track under fine skies. It is 1:04 pm AEST and this maiden contest has already jumped, so let's look at how the market shook out. Punters zeroed in early, sending Inzain Dragon straight to the top of the win market order. Following closely behind in the betting are Nation, Tramca, and Fair Shake, rounding out the early fancies in what shaped up as a fascinating puzzle for the racing faithful.

Taking a closer look at the form behind those shorter prices, Inzain Dragon lines up for Ben Ahrens with Ryan Wiggins in the saddle from barrier 2, backed by some solid trial form including a Doomben win. Meanwhile, Tramca is prepared by Chris and Corey Munce, jumping from barrier 5 with Archie Mc Colm aboard, coming off a vastly improved minor placing on a soft deck at the Sunshine Coast following a long break. Nation also holds strong claims from the inside alley in gate 1 for Tony and Maddysen Sears with Bobby El-Issa steering, looking to bounce back after a let-up following a fair effort at the Sunshine Coast.

Down the list, Symo's Boy represents the speed map as the lone leader from barrier 4 for Ms M Brosnan and Adin Thompson, backed by a hot jockey and trainer combo running above market expectations. Fair Shake draws barrier 9 for K M Schweida and Ashley Butler, returning from a twenty-one-week spell with a fresh Doomben trial win under the belt. With speed types like Tramca and Nation pressing forward early alongside the leader, this 1000m dash provided plenty of yarns for punters to dissect.

Trials (2:1-1-0). It's all systems go now for this gelding after latest trial win on a good 4 at Beaudesert. D Peisley stays aboard for debut. Follow betting leads.

ILB

Paul Shailer 4yo by Capitalist having first start. Watch the betting.

Trainer does well here with debutants; related to 6f winner Agnar; sire capable of getting smart offspring; clear chance as some good aspects to his profile.

AAP

On a quick back-up. Rarely far away. Found enough to place in small field this course over this distance. Can make his presence felt.

ILB

On a quick turnaround. Finished amongst the placegetters when 3rd beaten by 1 3/4L last start at this venue. In good racing form this campaign.

Not beaten too far (1½l) a week ago; seems to be improving based on last two runs but yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at 14; been struggling to get his head in front recently so looks risky.

RSIS

Backing up quickly. Good run when finishing 3rd last run at this track. Putting up notable efforts since resuming from a break.

Fronting up for second campaign (50-weeks). Ex M J Dunn. Trained here now. In the minors at Gold Coast on debut last campaign. Big watch under new trainer off the lengthy break.

ILB

First up from a break of 50 weeks and close to a win first up last preparation at this track. Should jump out and bowl along. Has every chance.

Only finished fourth of eight despite odds of 8-15 over 6f at Murwillumbah (handicap) 12 months ago; three-race maiden but has managed to finish second; first start for trainer; returns from a break here; hard enough to fancy.

RSIS

Resuming and close up resuming last preparation here. Won't be far away during the run. First race for a new trainer. Will be there at the business end.

Trials (5:2-3-0). Aided by some solid trial form but thrown into a tough contest. Good draw.

ILB

3yo debutant by Zousain for trainer Ben Ahrens and can find a nice position from the draw. Watch the market moves.

Gelded already; this son of Zousain is having his first start under rules; needs considering with signs of encouragement in profile.

Trials (4:0-0-0). Trial results underwhelming at this stage. Shouldn't be overlooked on debut.

ILB

3yo by I Am Invincible having first race start for trainer Tony Gollan. Betting as a guide.

Trainer gets fair share of winning newcomers over this sort of trip; related to 4½f winner Mach Ten; sire capable of producing high class offspring; already gelded; should go well as some good aspects to his profile and the current yard form is another tick.

Never a threat after showing no early speed from the barriers at Doomben off long break. Fitter second-up. Much kinder draw. Looks a safer place proposition.

ILB

At $16.00 below standard effort when 8th last time at Doomben. Can go through the gears. Must be considered here.

Beaten 5l at Doomben over 5½f (maiden) 17 days ago.

RSIS

Started at 15/1 and sub-standard effort when 8th last start at Doomben. Has very good finishing pace. One that represents value at a decent price.

A vastly improved performance when the Brutal 3year-old ran into the minors on a soft deck at Sunshine Coast off long break. Encouraging latest but needs to progress further here.

ILB

Was amongst the placegetters when 2nd last time at Sunshine Coast. Archie Mccolm and Chris Munce & Corey Munce must be respected together. Large claim helps. Holds a major chance.

Creditable effort to finish second at Sunshine Coast 22 days ago.

RSIS

Nice effort to run into 2nd last time at Sunshine Coast. Archie Mccolm and Chris Munce & Corey Munce are a proven combination. Large claim helps. Strong chance.

Resuming (21-weeks). No impact in early runs first campaign but latest trial win Doomben bodes well for return. More a minor money chance here.

ILB

First run back from a break. Odds of $3.10 and came in 5th last start at Ipswich. Place chance.

Out of the frame (beaten just under 4l in fifth) at Ipswich (dropped back to 4f) five months ago in a maiden; returns from a layoff; others more persuasive.

RSIS

First run back. Started 11/5 and ran 5th last run at Ipswich.

Let-up (62-days). Performance just fair in rain affected going at Sunshine Coast at second start at $10. Two tick over trials since. Looks a safer place proposition.

ILB

Racing fresh after a break. Started $10.00 and ran 5th last run at Sunshine Coast but drawn beautifully. Solid claims.

Not disgraced when fifth in a maiden at Sunshine Coast in August; easy enough to take on.

RSIS

Back from a break. Started 9/1 and finished 5th last start at Sunshine Coast but drawn by the rails. Value runner at good odds.

Odds correct as at Sat 3 Oct, 1:10 pm AEST. Odds can change.
