Chris Nelson’s Gold Coast Best Bets Posted on September 15, 2022 | Posted by Chris Nelson RACE 2 No.1 Za Ceibas Chris Waller trained stayer who really should prove too good for an average bunch of rivals on Saturday. Won and placed 2 of his past 3 starts he’s being going around against far better opposition and although back up in the weights he has won with 57kg in the past suggesting 58kg shouldn’t prove an issue. There’s only one leader on paper in the race (Ellastra) suggesting Sam Collet can slide over and find a good spot early on. RACE 5 No.3 Le Palmier Speedy customer who should land a decent run from the gate over the 900m scamper. He may not lead however won’t be far away and keep in mind his best run last prep was here first up over this exact trip finding the line strongly into 3rd. Impressive winning a recent Doomben trial in slick time he looks to have come back well. RACE 7 No.8 Queen Of Dubai Very interesting runner in tomorrow’s feature, the Pink Ribbon Cup. Formerly with the Waterhouse/Bott stable down south she’s now with David Vandyke who’s given her a couple of soft recent trials. Really liked the way she went through the line her latest and her form down south suggests she can definitely measure up here having won in Listed grade at Caulfield, looking deeply into her form she’s had valid excuses when out of the money. BIG market watch. Quaddie 6, 8, 5 8, 1 6, 7 6, 4, 5, 15 Market Market
