Comments: Wet tracks everywhere today so let's hope our selections have webbed feet. Cheltenham 4-1 Gilded Boots looks hard to beat after scoring a hat trick of wins over this course since resuming. Stays in the same RB81 company as last run but rises 2.5kg, which puts him at a disadvantage weight-wise but if he's around $3 then that would be about the right price. Gold Coast 1-2 Giddyupjayjay has been running home well in his races and has managed to feature in the stewards' report at all 4 runs so if he manages to put everything together then he really should be winning this. Gold Coast 3-7 Canivorthrill has the non-terrific of 1/18 but tends to be thereabouts in his races so if he gets the right run then might be a chance in what isn't an overly strong race. Gold Coast 5-3 Koorong Avenue led throughout to whup a Maiden field on Melbourne Cup day and ran good time in the process. Take the biggest step up in grade in racing but was impressive enough last time to suggest he's a big chance today. Toowoomba 1-5 Beurre is a consistent type that just missed in a good race last time. Looks to have the most upside in this race but will be a short price favourite.
