Gold Coast Racecourse horse racing tips and form preview

Gold Coast Horse Racing Tips Sat 13/6/26

Heavy 8 at the Gold Coast and the market has Alpha Bravo in race 4 around the $3.80 mark, which is where we’re keen. Seven races we’ve gone in on across the eight, and a few of them the punters are pushing the wrong runner. Race 5 is the one that stands out, market’s all over the favourite and we reckon Edge Of Infinity at $8 is where the value actually sits. Plenty to chew on if you don’t just follow the short ones in.

Forecast for Gold Coast, Queensland · WeatherAPI.com · captured 10:02am Sat 13 Jun
Race 1
2200m · Mdn Plate · 10 runners

7. Shark Park $6.00

Barrier 4 · Midfield · No leader

$2.35 for #4 Secret Fenkel from gate 9 over 2200m on a Heavy 8 is too short for me. #7 Shark Park gets gate 4, has been knocking on the door with a couple of seconds and a third in recent starts, and Dylan Turner takes the ride. Same map shape as the fav but with the better draw, so he should land a softer run early. At $6, I’m with Shark Park.

Race 3
1000m · Mdn Plate · 11 runners

4. Bottles Of Shells $5.50

Barrier 4 · Midfield · Genuine pace

Genuine speed up top on a Heavy 8, the fav has to grind in front at $3.10. #4 Bottles Of Shells settles off them from gate 4, second up off the freshen. I’d rather take $5.50 on the closer than a short leader doing all the work.

Race 4Best Bet
1200m · Hcp (C5) · 6 runners

1. Alpha Bravo $3.80

Barrier 5 · Pace · Soft pace

#1 Alpha Bravo. $3.80. Blinkers and tongue tie stay on, he’s won his last two with that gear, and from gate 5 he can roll forward and control the race. The favourite has to come from gate 6 off the speed on a Heavy 8, and I’d rather take $3.80 on the horse dictating than $2.40 on the one chasing. He’s the one.

Race 5
1400m · Mdn Plate · 10 runners

11. Edge Of Infinity $8.00

Barrier 4 · Midfield · No leader

Take #11 Edge Of Infinity at $8. Two thirds and a fourth from his last three says he’s right there. Chris Waller has him going, Osmond rides, and the cross-over nose band comes off for the first time. Gate 4 should give him every chance over 1400m. $2.50 on #15 So Elusive off one start is too cramped for me.

Race 6
1400m · O’brien Hcp · 6 runners

2. Our Magnus $4.60

Barrier 6 · Off Pace · No leader

Where’s the value in race 6? Not on the fav at $2.70 in a no-speed race on a Heavy 8. #2 Our Magnus settles off them, winkers stay on, and at $4.60 he can come over the top of them late.

Race 7
1000m · Plate (C3) · 8 runners

2. Chilled With Ice $5.50

Barrier 7 · Midfield · No leader

Three on the bounce in his last prep tells you #2 Chilled With Ice has the ability. He’s back fresh for Matthew Dunn, Jett Newman rides, and the fav has to lead and dictate from gate 1 at $1.65 in a no-leader race on a Heavy 8. From midfield with a late kick, I’m on him at $5.50.

Race 8
1400m · (Bm65) Hcp · 10 runners

6. Gambino $5.50

Barrier 5 · Midfield · Soft pace

Schweida trains, Peisley rides, blinkers on, gate 5. I’d rather take $5.50 for #6 Gambino than $4.40 for #15 Hello Lovely doing the work up front on a Heavy 8. Each-way.
