GOLD COAST WRAP WITH LADBROKES’ MARK MAZZAGLIA
WINNERS
■ Dansdale (Race 3)
Dansdale has had plenty of chances to break his maiden status and got the job done on Saturday. Dansdale had plenty of supporters and firmed in from $3.80 to start the $3.30 second pick behind the runner up Bosendi ($3.10 favourite).
■ Goldneala (Race 4)
Goldneala went to the line like a $1.65 hot pot should to claim the prize. Goldneala was one of the first out and after initially finding himself in front, Ryan Plumb eased the favourite in behind the leader mid-race. Approaching the home turn Plumb eased out to give Goldneala clear running in the straight and the filly went on to record a comfortable threelengths win.
LOSERS
■ She’s A Tigress (Race 1)
The punters got off to another terrible start with the $2.35 favourite She’s A Tigress going down in the first. Quick out of the gates but was found wanting in the straight for third spot.
■ Iamican (Race 2)
Iamican ($2.25 favourite) was slow to leave the gates. The filly started a forward move from the 600m but couldn’t peg back the Mystic Eyes to finish second.
■ Mittere (Race 5)
Mittere was another favourite to bite the dust, finishing fourth in the Class 4 Handicap. Mittere ($1.85) broke the gates cleanly but then drifted back to midfield in the middle stages. Daniel Griffin stuck to the inside of the track in the straight on the four-year-old, who found his second wind to finish half a length from the winner.
■ Depths Below (Race 6)
Was sent out as the $4.80 favourite but wound up in third spot. Didn’t seem comfortable in the middle of the pack with a hot pace up front but tried hard all the way to the line.
NEXT TIME
■ Let’s Party Marty (Race 3)
Ran his rivals off their legs with an allthe-way win and will be hard to beat in a similar race next time he steps out.
