Our Gold Coast Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Sir Rocket (Gold Coast Race 2 No. 2)
With five wins and four places from 11 starts. this five-year-old Smart Missile gelding trained by Michael Costa always runs well. He hung in and did plenty wrong but still hit the front late to win by 0.3 length over 1200m at the Gold Coast on soft going on 13 November, then raced wide with no cover before running on strongly for 0.8 length 2nd over 1000m at Sunshine Coast on 19 December. Has won two from two at this track and is the one they have to beat.

Tamilaide (Gold Coast Race 7 No. 5):
This four-year-old Adelaide gelding trained by Les Kelly has three wins and six places from nine starts. On resuming from an 18 week spell he ran on from well back for 1.2 lengths 3rd over 1200m at Ipswich on 3 December, then ran on from well back at the home turn but couldn’t reel in the winner and finished 0.7 length 2nd over 1400m at Eagle Farm on 18 December. Won at his only start at this track and looks a great each-way chance.

Swiss Exile (Gold Coast Race 3 No. 3):
This Annabel Neasham trained colt is the early favourite in the 1100m Gold Nugget for 2YO Colts & Geldings. He debuted with 0.5 length 3rd in the Listed Phelan Ready Plate over 1000m at Eagle Farm on 11 December, then was caught wide before finishing 2.6 lengths 3rd in the Group 3 BJ McLachlan Plate over 1200m at Doomben on 26 December. Should run well again but offers no value.

Key Comments The track is rated soft and the rail is +7 metres from the 800m to 400m and +6 for the remainder. Best Bet Chosen Miss (Gawler Race 4 No. 1) Last start she was 0.5 length 2nd at Strathalbyn and the start before was a 4 length winner at Balaklava. She’s in form and gets a 3kg claim for Tala Hutchinson. Nicely placed. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way High On

Key Comments The track is in the heavy 10 range. The rail is in 3 metres. The best bet has heavy form and looks a big hope with Gibbons steering. Best Bet Bellascent (Wyong Race 4 No. 6) Excellent run last start almost pulling off the win at decent odds. That was on heavy ground and it got within .2 of the winner. Should get conditions to suit again here and by this time of the day being drawn wide may not be

Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet had no luck last run when a $101 chance and will start much shorter this time around. Best Bet Themoonsaballoon (Pakenham Race 4 No. 5) Remarkable effort to remain standing and hit the line like it did after the horse took a poor step and the jockey wasn't far off falling off. Picked up momentum regardless and steamed to the finish to just miss out on the win. This 6yo was $101.00 that day

Key Comments There are 10 races today. The track is rated Soft and the rail is +16 metres and a cutaway applies. Best Bet Masamune (Ascot Race 5 No. 1) Resumes after a 21 week spell and showed a sharp turn of foot to win a recent trial. He has the inside draw and should be very hard to beat.
