Chris Nelson’s Gold Coast Best Bets Posted on August 23, 2019August 23, 2019 | Posted by Chris Nelson Chris Nelson’s Best Bets RACE 6 No.10 Heritage Sash Lightly raced galloper from the Edmonds yard who looks to have plenty of upside. Let down with a big sprint after racing wide to score at the Sunshine Coast before backing that up with another win this time at the Gold Coast clocking slick time in the process. He takes a step up in grade tomorrow however appears well up to the challenge and can figure in the finish. RACE 7 No.1 Galtero Dominant winner his last start at Doomben going for home at the top of the straight and never looking like being run down. Tomorrow he steps to the 1800m and draws deep, the speed map suggests he can get in though and is a good chance to park around three pairs back one off the fence when they settle. From there he’ll very hard to hold out! RACE 9 No.3 Handsome Thief Eagle Farm trained galloper from the Meagher team who backed up a strong finishing win at Doomben two starts back with a fast closing 3rd same track last time out behind the super consistent sprinter Tarzan. Drawn a good gate tomorrow should see him settle no worse than midfield, he’ll be hitting the line strongly and can get over the top of the leaders late. Quaddie 3, 10, 13 1, 11 2, 4, 11 3, 9, 11 Market Market
