Gold Coast Race 6 - Aquis Qtis Jewel 2Yo
FINAL CRUSADE (2) dug up to race on the speed then looked home for all money until nailed on the line by Boomtowns on debut over 1000m at Eagle Farm last start. Looks perfectly placed over the extra furlong and if he gets the start right he will be very hard to toss. BRAVE ETOILE (11) went back from a wide alley then went through her gears impressively to get up for third on debut over 1000m at Eagle Farm last time out. Flashing light run that day that - 1200m is the ideal progression. ESPERANZA (7) made a late charge from the back of the field along with BRAVE ETOILE at Eagle Farm and edged that filly out of second spot. Had race experience in her favour that day. A wide gate doesn't help - each-way the best option. BETTER BLITZEM (1) has won four from four at Townsville and Mackay, the latest an eight-length romp over this distance. Looks pretty smart and deserves her chance in town. EDDINGTON (6) ran a cheeky race on debut recently and will give backers a sight.

Third-up today. Resuming favourite; won by 2.25 len at Townsville 2yo SW February 27 over 1000m on a soft track defeating Dub Stepping carrying 57kg at $1.45. Second-up favourite; scored a big 8 len win at Townsville 2yo Hcp March 5 over 1200m in soft going defeating Felipity carrying 61kg at $1.05. Profiles nicely. Hard to line up but he has been impressive.

Was well-supported at debut, sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 8 at Eagle Farm 2yo C&G Hcp on February 28 over 1000m, slow going nose behind Boomtowns with 57.5kg at $3.80. Pipped on the line last time and is perfectly placed to go one better.

Dual acceptor. At the latest run 3rd in a small field at this track 2yo Mdn-Sw on February 28 over 1200m, on a wet track; 2 len behind The Autumn Affair carrying 56kg at $7. The run before that set the pace for much of the race in a small field at Sunshine Coast 2yo Mdn-Sw on February 13 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.0 len behind Gold Czech carrying 58kg at $3.50. Can't recommend.

When well in the market at debut, ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 7 at Doomben 2yo Hcp on February 7 over 1110m, 1.5 len behind Esperanza carrying 56.5kg at $5.
