Gold Coast Race 8

Tab We're On Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $40,000

HE'SGOTTHESAY (6) just missed the placings in town on debut before being tipped out for time to furnish. Tuned up for this with two recent trials and a bold showing first-up looks on the cards. FAIRFAX DIAMOND (4) is another to just miss the frame when facing the starter for the first time and will have come on with that run now under the belt. Rates a serious threat. ROCKY REWARD (7) showed pleasing improvement when runner-up at the latest effort and gets Orman on top. Genuine top-three contender. SUGAR ISLAND (9) has had a few chances but strips fitter fourth-up and draws low. Include in calculations. ADELAIDE GIRL (10) rounds out the selections in a competitive maiden to close out the card.

Comments

First starter by Top Echelon - Zeffiretta. Half-brother to two-time winner Storm Rider. Dam was a winner of one race. Has run a number of ordinary trials prior to his debut today. Not seen on the track to assess positively. Prepared to risk on what he has shown.

At debut, got back early 4th of 8 at Sunshine Coast Poly 3yo Mdn on January 12 over 1100m, 4 len behind Blakemore Avenue with 60kg at $15. Improver who looks ideally placed here. Big chance with that race experience to prove invaluable.
