Gold Coast Race 3 - Carpet Call Mdn Hcp
FILTHY (1) has had only three starts and brings the most appealing recent form. Couldn't get the job done as fav last time but was strong late. The rise to 1400m should suit him perfectly fourth-up and he can get off the mark this time. CAUTIONARY TAIL (12) finds the maiden win elusive but looks one of the main dangers after being beaten just under a length at Lismore where he had excuses. The weight relief strengthens his case. CREDIBILITY (2) had genuine excuses when fifth on the poly here as favourite and his Grafton second keeps him right in the mix. RISING QUEEN (9) improved sharply when second at Sunshine Coast and has placed at this distance, making her a sound hope if she repeats that latest run. OVER THE LOUVRE (5) has been okay in both runs back and should be further improved third-up.

Finished fourth at Ipswich last start, beaten just over a length as favourite after settling midfield and picking up nicely in the straight. That followed a soft-track third at Lismore when bumped early and steadied, so the lightly raced profile is solid. New to 1400m, but third-up fitness and wet-track placings make him a major chance.

Had more merit than fifth at Gold Coast Poly suggests, beginning awkwardly, striking interference and having difficulty getting clear before charging home to be beaten three and a half lengths as favourite. His previous Grafton second, beaten a long neck by Steady On on soft ground, was a strong maiden reference. Wide draw is the query, but the form is strong enough.

Was well beaten when 12th at Warwick last start, finishing over 15 lengths from Webinar in country grade before coming to a harder meeting. He raced keenly and was forced wide approaching the 400m, but the overall effort still lacked finish. Had some excuses, but the form leaves plenty to find.

Made little impact first-up at Ipswich, beginning awkwardly and settling rearward before finishing second last, beaten six and a half lengths behind Disparate. The run prior he failed to finish at Beaudesert after being eased near the 400m, when odds-on favourite. Has to turn the recent form around sharply.

Has finished fourth in both runs this campaign, the latest at this track when beaten five and a half lengths behind Talk About Layla after working home evenly. He was also fourth at Warwick over 1100m after beginning awkwardly and holding ground to the line. The 1400m record is the concern, so he profiles as a place hope.

Improved into second at this track last start, albeit beaten just under five lengths and never a real threat after jumping awkwardly and being held up near the 200m. Her debut at Lismore was plain when second last behind Aurora Blaze at long odds. Trainer profile helps; more is required to win.

Makes his debut off a four-trial preparation, including a Gold Coast trial last month, so he has been given a measured lead-in for the stable. Paul Shailer's debut figures are encouraging, with six wins from 19 starters and an 58% place rate, while the family has some middle-distance depth. Market will guide, but he has place claims.

Was sixth on debut at Sunshine Coast, beaten just over nine lengths by Castaway after settling just off the lead and keeping on without a clear excuse. He had been near the top of betting there, so the plain finish was disappointing. Barrier 15 makes the task tougher.

Lifted sharply at Sunshine Coast last start, sitting behind the leaders and finishing second, beaten just under four lengths by Castaway over this trip. That was a clear step forward from her Kembla Grange seventh, where she was big odds and gave away too much start after knuckling shortly after the start. Looks a genuine each-way player off that latest run.

Finished seventh at Ipswich last start, beaten two and a half lengths behind Disparate, but he was unwanted in the market and only worked home evenly. The Gatton run prior was weaker, beaten just under ten lengths at big odds after racing wide throughout. Others appeal more.

Went close at Lismore last start, finishing third and beaten just under a length by The Epic Journey after being bumped, restrained early and held up on the home turn. That came in country grade and this is harder, but the drop from 59kg to 55.5kg is meaningful. Long maiden record is the query, but he rates highly again.
