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 race is the Tab Federal Handicap (race 6) and is also the same race the best bet bobs up in who is due for a change of luck and may get that here.

Key Comments Expect those on speed to be suited. The track is in the good range. The best bet is in the last of the day and has strong claims. Best Bet Frawley (Geelong Race 9 No. 5) Maps a little sticky but looks well placed to return to the winners enclosure. The run behind Estirella 2 back is more than good enough for this field and still has plenty of scope and upside to be taking out a race like this.
