Our Gold Coast Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Paradee (Gold Coast Race 2 No. 3)
This four-year-old Epaulette mare trained by Danny O’Brien in Melbourne has four wins and four places from 13 starts and won her last start. She took over at the 300m and fought hard to only go down late for 0.5 length 2nd in the Listed Lord Stakes over 1700m at Caulfield on 26 December, then was too strong in the final 50m and won by a length over 1800m at the Gold Coast on 9 January. With a win at this track and distance only a week ago she looks the likely winner.

Each Way
Alpine Edge (Gold Coast Race 6 No. 1):
This two-year-old Better Than Ready colt is unbeaten in two starts. He debuted in the Listed Phelan Ready Plate where he led to the home turn, drew away in the straight and hung on for a narrow win over 1000m at Eagle Farm on 12 December, then he drew away late for a 0.5 length win in the Group 3 BJ McLachlan Plate over 1200m at Eagle Farm on 26 December. In this field of talented youngsters I think he is worth an each-way bet.

Best Lay
Yamazaki (Gold Coast Race 9 No. 10):
This five-year-old mare from Sydney is the early favourite in this $1,000,000 Magic Million QTIS Open quality handicap over 1300m. She only got clear late to finish 3.2 lengths 5th in the Group 3 Angst Stakes over 1600m at Randwick on 10 October, then after a 10 week let-up she chased hard for 3.9 lengths 5th over 1200m at Randwick on 19 December. She won a fillies and mares race at this track and distance last January, but others look to have much more value.

Key Comments The feature races include the Wellington Showcase Cup (race 6) and the Wellington Boot (race 7). The best bet comes up in the last at healthy odds. Best Bet Man From Brussells (Wellington Race 8 No. 5) Could surprise these at odds. Proven in this grade, drawn well and has the race fitness over its dangers.

Key Comments An 8 race program takes place. The track is in the soft range. The best bet bumped into a handy one last time out and is big odds.

Key Comments An evening meeting with the first race at 6.10 pm. The track is rated soft and the rail is +2 metres the entire circuit. As a general rule, runners who land in the front half of the field are suited at this track, with an advantage to those who find the inside lanes in the straight. Best Bet Turk Warrior (Launceston Race 5 No. 1) Ran on best out wide for a 0.8 length win over 1120m at Launceston last
