Gold Coast January 14th, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Gold Coast Race 1
5
Ezekeil $3.50
Ezekeil looks well placed here after a dominant win at Armidale.
He is ideally drawn, and I expect the gelding by Divine Prophet to be in the finish.
The money will come late in betting with superstar Jamie Kah aboard.
Situation Room will be competitive after a luckless run at the Sunshine Coast.
Craig Wiliams takes the mount, and the Gollan-trained gelding has a very honest preparation.
Xanthus is too consistent to leave out of wider exotics.
Next Best - Gold Coast Race 3
1
Sky Lab $5.00
Sky Lab was desperately unlucky last start at Randwick.
With a different run in the home straight, he probably wins, easing down.
The 2200m is ideal for this stage of his preparation, and I expect him to be savaging the line late.
Barrier 17 is the main concern and obstacle.
Parry Sound can run well at a decent price.
He hit the line nicely last start at Randwick, and he should get a soft run from the inside barrier.
Bigboyroy will look the winner, however, he has a history of hiding from the camera.
Best Roughie - Gold Coast Race 6
15
Vowmaster $21.00/$4.20
King Of Sparta will start odds-on favourite here.
He is the one to beat after an impressive first-up victory, and I expect his quote to shorten further.
With the wide barrier and allocated 59kg, I am happy to avoid the skinny quote.
Vowmaster can win here at a reasonable price.
He has looked sensational since returning and can peak here third-up from a spell.
The inside draw is advantageous, and I expect him to be in the finish.
QUADDIE
Q

We have gone extremely wide in the quaddie legs looking for value.
It is a typically tough Magic Millions program where traditionally the quaddie pays handsomely.
Good luck!
