Gold Coast   22 Feb 2025
 
GOING: S(5)

MOO MOO THE WINE BAR & GRILL Class 1 Plate 1800m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: +9m 900m-400m; +6m Remainder. (Pent: 4.91)  

Pace only fair with The Khan rolling to the lead ahead of Twinkle Time and Aces Up. SACRED BULL (4) ran on late to finish third at the Sunshine Coast last start in the same race as the top pick. He can settle closer to the pace from a superior gate this time and is ready to win another race at short notice. TWINKLE TIME (9) made the most of a good ride when getting in the final stride to score by a short-head here 2 weeks ago. She will only continue to improve and can take the next step immediately. THE KHAN (5) has found it hard to win another race but is as honest as they come. He is having his first run on the turf here and could break his win drought if everything falls into place. TUQIRI (6) was runner-up on the poly track here 3 weeks ago and is worth including in all combinations again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sacred Bull to win.
