Gold Coast Race 6 - Wadsworth Contracting Carnival Hcp (58)
EXCELBOOM (6) was expected to feature at Ipswich but didn't finish it off (vet cleared). Made good improvement at the Sunshine Coast prior and gets in well with the 2kg claim. In the premier metro stable and rates to be winning this contest. SMACKEROONY (7) can form the quinella if she backs up off her easy 55 win at Dalby 4 days ago. Will race forward from a handy gate and is sure to give a sight. MINOR KEY (3) has been around the mark and jumps from the paint. Tries hard and would have claims putting his best foot forward. ON THE TARGET (10) resumed for the new stable with a narrow defeat at Ipswich, where he led. He's improved and maps to advantage. Strips fitter and has to be considered. EAGLES BEWARE (4) finds easier with a 2kg claim and will be around the mark.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign when last of 9 at Casino Casino Cup October 25 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Prancing With Fire carrying 55kg at $21. Previously first up; fourth of 9 at Grafton John Carlton 97 July 6 over 1190m, 3.5 len behind Moskeeta carrying 55kg at $51. Might need a run or two.

Form hard to fault. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.3 len at Dalby 0 - 55 March 3 over 1100m defeating Xuanfeng carrying 59kg at $6.50. The start before that rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 7 at Dalby 0 - 55 on February 14 over 1000m, 1.4 len behind Mr Evans carrying 56.5kg at $4.80. Chance despite the rise in class.

Dual acceptor. Last start favourite; won by 0.9 len at Nanango 0 - 55 February 14 over 1000m in soft going defeating Hi Frank with 53kg at $2.60. The race before that ran last of 9 at Inverell Cl1 on January 1 over 1400m, 7 len behind Bolt Away Now with 55kg at $101. In form but looks safely held this time.
