Gold Coast Poly Race 1 - Keno Conference Party Cup Mdn Plate
CREDIBILITY (3) is knocking on the door, having fought hard when beaten a long neck at Grafton after also closing in to second at Muswellbrook despite being held up in the straight. Has the right profile to break through now and should appreciate the rise in trip. DUN DARTE CHEAP (4) has mixed his form this time in but his good performances are up to this on the quick back-up. Has raced best when ridden positive, so wouldn't be surprised to see them push forward from the wide draw. TISANI JAMES (9) has been around the mark without placing and he was okay on the course proper last time when finishing fourth after leading them up. The shorter trip looks more suitable. BOSCATINE (1) returns freshened after a plain Gold Coast run, his fifth here two back is a better guide to his chances. Keeps the claim and is in the mix.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing last at Gold Coast over 1800m, beaten a long way when unwanted in the market. He did race keenly and was bumped at the 400m, but the margin still has to be respected. His previous fifth at this venue was better, leading into the straight before tiring, and he has beaten Dun Darte Cheap on this track. Last run was poor, but his prior effort at this venue and a 2kg claim keep him in the placing picture.

Has put two placings together at Grafton, most recently third behind Trinity State after travelling just off the lead and being run down late. That came from country grade into a harder assignment, and the bigger concern is the first attempt around 1540m after doing all recent racing near 1200m. His place consistency is sound, but he must stretch that form further to threaten the better chances. Stronger claims sit elsewhere.

Went within a long neck of breaking through at Grafton last week, tracking the speed and fighting hard behind Steady On on soft ground. He had also been good at Muswellbrook, closing into second after being held up in the straight and losing momentum late. New trip is the query, but recent form makes him the one to beat.

Eased from mid-week company after finishing sixth behind Imminent Appeal at Doomben, where he sat behind the leaders and only battled late. His Sunshine Coast fourth to Silent Answer two back was stronger, beaten two lengths after leading to the turn. Trip record is plain, but he is a major winning hope.

Drops from mid-week company after finishing last behind Imminent Appeal at Doomben last week, beaten just over nine lengths without making ground. The run prior at Murwillumbah was better, finishing fourth and beaten a length and a half on soft ground when well enough found in betting. Third-up and easier grade give him place claims.

Backs up quickly after finishing fifth at Ballina, beaten seven and a half lengths by So Sain when an outside chance in the betting. His previous third at Gold Coast was sound enough after beginning awkwardly, and the 3kg claim is useful. The concern is a modest record around 1540m, with one placing from four attempts. Place chance at best.

Made some late ground when fourth at Beaudesert last start, but was still beaten just over eight lengths and started at big odds. His Ipswich run prior followed a similar pattern, coming from well back and making limited impression when beaten just under nine lengths. Class drop helps a little, though a sizeable lift is required.

Was fourth in a small field at Gold Coast last start, beaten five and a half lengths after leading to the turn and racing keenly. His previous sixth over 1400m was not without merit after beginning slowly and keeping on, but he remains unplaced from six starts. First try around 1540m shapes as the key test.
