THE THOROUGHBRED GIRLS GOLD COAST STAKES 1800m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.90)  

From their wide draws Capital Asset and Sibaaq can establish a strong tempo. FELIX THE SCAT (11) was caught off the track under 60kgs and couldn't run on last Saturday over this distance at Eagle Farm. Drops a massive 8kgs today. Hasn't won for a while but he has a dash of quality and looks a nice gamble at odds. SIBAAQ (2) just missed two back over 2050m here then was a month between runs when beaten under a length in Piggyback's Parramatta Cup at Rosehill last time out. Yet to miss the frame in four runs at this trip. Serious contender. NOBLE CONQUEROR (9) was continually shunned by the market but won three from four before a game effort a fortnight ago over the mile at Eagle Farm. The winner of two from two at this trip - leave him out at your peril. DEMON DARB (6) and QUOTHQUAN (8) ran one-two in open company over 1600m at Eagle Farm recently. Both come here as strong each-way hopes with light weights. SUGGESTED PLAY: Felix The Scat each-way.

The run before that settled well back; won by a head at Eagle Farm Bm85 February 14 over 1600m in soft going defeating Nails Murphy carrying 56.5kg at $17. Continually underrated and should run another big race.
