Our Gold Coast Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Ranch Hand (Gold Coast Race 5 No. 4)
This two-year-old Fastnet Rock colt trained by Chris Waller has raced three times for a win and a place, and his win was on soft going. He faded late for 0.4,0.2 length 3rd over 1200m at Eagle Farm on 16 January, then settled mid-field and worked home for 3.45 lengths 5th in the $2M Magic Million 2YO Classic over 1200m at Gold Coast on 16 January. He resumes after a 16 week spell and won a recent Rosehill trial. Should win.

Each Way
Grace And Harmony (Gold Coast Race 6 No. 7):
This three-year-old Sebring filly has two wins and a place from four starts. She resumed from a 15 week spell for a 1.84 length win in a maiden handicap over 1400m at Newcastle on 10 April, then won by 1.3 lengths in a BM 64 handicap over 1550m at Kensington on 25 April. She has drawn very wide but is still worth an each-way bet.

Marboosha (Gold Coast Race 7 No. 12):
This Dream Ahead filly trained by Peter & Paul Snowden has three wins and four places from eight starts and is the early favourite in the Group 3 Gold Coast Guineas over 1200m. She battled away for 2.8 lengths 4th in the Listed Darby Munro Stakes over 1200m at Rosehill on 27 March, then chased hard and nearly got there for 0.1 length 2nd in the Group 3 P J Bell Stakes over 1200m at Randwick on 10 April. Has drawn the outside barrier and is untried on heavy going so I am prepared to risk her as favourite.
