Gold Coast   25 Feb 2017
 
GOING: G(4)

Coastal Tipper Hire Hcp (C1) 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Showers Early   Rail: Out 6m 1400m-400m; Out 3m the Remainder. (Pent: 4.5).  

Dream Piper looks the most likely to push forward and take up the lead. Most capable of leading including LICITRA resumes and two back won his Maiden by a space at the G Coast on debut. Has trialled well and can win this. DAWN FIGHTER didn’t have the best of it at Ipswich beaten a length and was good winning her Maiden at the G Coast Maiden prior. Is sure to go well. MIA SORELLA resumes for the Dunn yard off the rail and is an improver with a handy claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Licitra for the win.

Not a genuine type, tested.

Start before raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by a neck (inquiry into performance) this track F&M Mdn Jan 25 over 1300m defeating Scarlet Begonias with 56.5kg. Genuine contender under these conditions.
