Gold Coast Race 2 - The Salty Barnacles (Bm68)
Former NSW galloper BLINKED (8) broke the maiden status in impressive fashion at Goulburn before being tipped out for further time to furnish. Has since tuned up for this with two recent trials and can run a big race while fresh. SIGNATURE TART (6) returned in good order with a dominant Gold Coast victory and will have derived some confidence from that win. Can go right on with the job now. SEYMOUR STARS (5) has strung three wins together on the bounce to start the career and it's hard to knock mares in form. Top-three credentials. PETITE PALACE (1) was a touch disappointing last time out but the form prior was good enough for a race of this nature. Capable of bouncing right back. GAYLORD (2) best of the rest with the claim.

Second-up. First-up after six months scored a big 5.5 len win at Gold Coast Poly Bm70 February 14 over 1150m defeating Hulkamania carrying 54kg at $4.40. Previously second-up 10th of 12 at Eagle Farm Mdn on July 2 over 1000m, slow going 6 len behind Ten Good Reasons carrying 54kg at $11. Great chance to make it two in a row. Must be respected.

Half-brother to three-time Group 1 winner Explosive Jack. Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run came from midfield and won by 1.75 len at Lismore Cl1 February 10 over 1120m on a soft track defeating No Ragrets carrying 58kg at $6. The run before that won by a nose at Murwillumbah Mdn-Sw February 1 over 1100m defeating Poised Tycoon with 59kg at $11. Going well enough to give this a shake.

Resumes. Finished off last campaign posting a big 4.5 len win Goulburn Mdn-Sw August 11 over 1100m slow track defeating Yvette carrying 55kg at $3.20. Previously first up; fifth of 8 at Randwick Kensington 2yo F Osc June 25 over 1100m, soft track; 8 len behind Wollzeile carrying 55kg at $26. Everything points to an effective return.
