Gold Coast   23 May 2018
 
GOING: G

Bacardi Rum Hcp 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Partly Cloudy   Rail: Out 4m 1400m - WP. Out 3m Remainder. (Pent: 4.43).  

Plenty of these stepping out on debut. Betting tells a big tale here. LADY MCCABE didn't have all things go her way second up and still won. She has only run in good form races so far. Seems like a promising filly. AMORITA only won in a small field but drew clear late. Again will run with a light weight and has a soft barrier to take advantage of. MISHANI RULER is yet to run a bad race. He got to this distance for the first time and won. Should head forward too. GRAND DE LAGO took on stakes grade last outing. Go on his previous metro form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Play multiples around Lady McCabe, Grand De Lago and Amorita.
