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.

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.

Key Comments The rail is true from the 1600 to the winning post and out 3 metres for the remainder. The best bet I have priced nearly a moral and runs towards the end of the day. Best Bet Diamond City (Cranbourne Race 7 No. 9) Sat 3WNC at the end of last prep and couldn't match it with Semana. That form is huge for this and the run rated through the roof. Should be winning if ready to go. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Berkshire Breeze (Cranbourne Race 5 No. 1) Keen to multi with the best bet. Excellent return run.

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. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Duped By Spin (Wagga Riverside Race 8 No. 7) Nice way to end the day. Maps tricky but brings in strong VIC form and has won on the track.

Key Comments The track is rated Good and the rail is +7 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Stryker's Gal (Pinjarra Scarpside Race 6 No. 9) This filly has been runner-up at 2 of her 3 starts – the latest over 1413m at Pinjarra. She’s drawn nicely and should get every chance to break through for her maiden win. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Warning Shot (Pinjarra Scarpside Race 4
