GOLD COAST POLY   13 Jun 2026
 
GOING:

SKY RACING OPEN Handicap 1540m

Track:     Rail: True.  

A solid tempo anticipated with Aima Sun and Ikasara ahead of Grinzinger Knight and Master Of Rewards. The well-related LIVING FREE (1) (half to G1 winner Warning) has been freshened since finishing eighth over 1300m at Rockhampton. Fitness level should be good following a subsequent Gold Coast trial and will prove hard to beat on best form. IKASARA (4) was an impressive winner last time over 1400m at Sunshine Coast Poly, stalking the pace before lengthening nicely to score by 2.25 lengths. Sure to measure up again. GRINZINGER KNIGHT (3) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish half a length away in second over 1600m at Eagle Farm. Finds an easier assignment and can run another big race. OUR MAGNUS (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in second over 1350m at Ipswich. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 1,4,3,2.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resumes off a 38 day letup.

Second-up tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 8 at Eagle Farm Bm78 on May 6 over 1600m, slow going 0.5 len behind October with 56.5kg at $26. Well placed. Certainly worth another chance.
