When Wednesday, May 12, 2021
First Race 12:33pm AEST

Aquis Park on the Gold Coast is on the quick backup after hosting Hollindale Stakes Day on the weekend. Eight metropolitan races will be run and won on what will be a drying Soft 5 track. The rail is out 2m from the 1400m to the 400m mark and then true for the remainder of the course. HorseBetting.com.au brings you the best bets and top quaddie selections for the Gold Coast meeting, which will jump at 12:33pm AEST.


Best Bet: Weona Smartone

It may only be a Benchmark 72, but this race oozes class, and topping that list is David Vandyke’s Weona Smartone. The four-year-old gelding has won three of his four career starts, including a first-up romping at Doomben where he beat subsequent winners Dr Why Not, Contemptuous and The Move over the 1110m in Class 3 grade. He stays at that trip and will be ridden by Ryan Maloney again from barrier two, which will see him lead the field. This is a tougher race, but the form from his previous start is very good and he is a serious animal.

Next Best: The Lioness

Toby & Trent Edmonds saddle up three-year-old filly The Lioness in a competitive 3YO Benchmark 65. The daughter of Exosphere has had just the four starts, winning two of those and going runner-up in the other two. Her last-start victory came at this track over 1200m, and she was strong late even after leading all of the way, so 1400m should not be an issue. Robbie Fradd will be in the driver’s seat here from barrier four, which should again see her settle in the pair. Her soft-track record reads well with a win and two seconds from three starts, and she handles the Gold Coast well. She is also accepted in Race 7, which is an easier task, but she has drawn wide in barrier 14 for that one.

Next Best Again: Controlthewitness

Kris Lees and Andrew Mallyon have a good record together in Queensland, and they have the chance to prove that in the third race on Wednesday. Four-year-old gelding Controlthewitness comes into this 1800m Class 5 after finishing fourth to Tavion Prince last start at Doomben. Tavion Prince ran well on Saturday at this track behind I Could Do Better in what is a tougher race than this, so the form there isn’t too bad. The son of Star Witness settled near last in the run over 1630m and got home strongly, so the rise in trip should suit. Drawn wide in barrier seven in the eight-horse field, he will get back again but shouldn’t be spotting the leaders too big of a start. Each way all day in this.
