Gold Coast Race 8 - Tab Plate (C1)
ARGENTUM ROCK (1) continued his run of fine form with a closing third over 1840m at Eagle Farm last start. Back in grade this evening but the question mark is whether he gets a strong 2200m at the first attempt - worth the gamble. MAHUIKA MAROI (10) improved sharply last time out at the second run of the campaign, beaten in a photo over 1900m at Ballina in heavy conditions. That effort suggests she is ready to tackle this staying trip. NUKATABE (13) was lining up for only the third time when he dominated a 1730m maiden at Grafton recently. Steps up sharply in distance but has plenty of upside and deserves the benefit of the doubt. TRIPLE TIME (9) is yet to be tried beyond 2020m but on a seven-day back-up is worth throwing in the exotics. EXPLOSIVE POWER (3) did a good job to fill a minor placing over 2000m on the poly track last start coming off a 30-day break. Should be cherry ripe at the fourth run back from a spell.

Recent form sound. Most recently 3rd of 9 in a Cl1-Sw at Eagle Farm on August 12 over 1840m, 1.75 len behind Barcelo with 58kg at $16. The run before that 3rd of 7 in a 3yo Hcp at this track on July 18 over 1800m, slow going 4.5 len behind Pink Vixen with 57.5kg at $8. Honest campaigner who looks the testing material.

Most recently raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 in a Bm62 at Gold Coast Poly on August 15 over 2000m, 1.75 len behind Brain Wave with 55kg at $19. The start before that sat on the pace before fading 8th of 11 in a Cg&E 0 - 58 at Ipswich on July 16 over 1350m, 5 len behind Rosa Kiss carrying 57.5kg at $31. Impressed last start. Should measure up.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run got back early 4th in a small field in a Open Bm85 at Murwillumbah on August 21 over 2020m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Amplify with 55kg at $8.50. The race before that 3rd of 8 in a Cl1-Sw at Ballina on August 11 over 1900m, in the wet; 6 len behind Coccinella with 59kg at $2.80. Should be thereabouts again.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up 8th of 11 in a 4yo+ Cl2 at Grafton on July 15 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Jason Darren carrying 55kg at $31. Second run from a spell sat on the pace when 2nd of 8 in a Cl1-Sw at Ballina on August 11 over 1900m, in the wet; nose behind Coccinella with 57kg at $3.80. Rates highly. Ready to show her best.

Recent form sound. Most recently favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2.5 len at Grafton on August 18 over 1730m on a soft track defeating Bills Angel with 53kg at $5. The start before that 3rd of 11 in a Mdn at Casino on August 8 over 1300m, slow going 4.5 len behind Legin with 53kg at $8. Draws a poor gate once again but is a progressive type with a live chance.
