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.

Best Lay
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.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Tuesday 22nd October 2024
Key Comments The track is in the soft 6 range. Looking no further than the first race of the day for the best bet who has trialled up very well and will take a power of beating on debut. Best Bet Socrazyinlove (Orange Race 1 No. 10) Trials have been excellent and the stable have opted for this race as the right target. Collett rides from the good draw, the early market support is ideal and this race looks very much within reach.

Key Comments Expecting on pace runners to be suited on this tight turning track. The best bet will need some luck from the wide draw but does its best racing here. Best Bet Brooklyn Baby (Kyneton Race 7 No. 5) Boasts a strong first up record and very good record at the track. Keating knows the horse very well and he can land it up on speed from the wide draw. Around the $7.50 mark at time of typing is strong odds.

Key Comments The track is in the soft range. The best bet has been a model of consistency lately and can score a well overdue win. Expecting the track to suit leaders as it traditionally does. Best Bet Ausbred Cooee (Grafton Race 3 No. 5) Due for a win off back to back placings and this looks if anything, slightly easier than last start despite reading the same grade. In very well at the weights after the claim, flies on this track and

Key Comments The track is in the soft range. Expecting all runners to have their chance on this typically fair playing track. Alysha Collett rides the best of the day and comes up mid way through the day. Best Bet Don't Doubt Merlin (Muswellbrook Race 3 No. 5) Big win on debut then tipped out after being a beaten $2.40 favourite at start number two but far from disgraced. A recent trial in heavy conditions was a strong piece of work and kicking
