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.

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.

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 is the $200,000 Wagga Town Plate and the best bet also bobs up in the race. Best Bet Duped By Spin (Wagga Riverside Race 8 No. 7) Keen on Rocketing By in the feature. It has the class edge on this field and didn't have much luck last start in a race much harder than this. D-day but perfectly placed here.
