Ever-consistent filly Gold Coast Belle is set to chase black-type recognition in her upcoming stakes tilt at Bendigo.

Having claimed three wins and twice finished second in five starts, she heads to the Listed Bendigo Guineas (1400m) scheduled for Saturday.

Horses such as Wonder Boy, War Machine, Waltz On By, Annavisto, Riddle Me That, Milwaukee and Silent Sedition have all lifted the Bendigo Guineas and advanced their careers significantly.

Gold Coast Belle received an acceptance into the Listed Adelaide Guineas (1600m) at Morphettville on Saturday too, yet trainer Danny O’Brien confirmed Bendigo as the primary plan.

“We accepted with Gold Coast Bell and Adelaide in case she drew really poorly at Bendigo, but she’s drawn OK there,” O’Brien said.

“She’ll come into seven or eight when the barriers sort themselves out, and she’s in good shape, so it looks in a race that should be really competitive in.”

Her preparation opened with a maiden victory at Seymour, succeeded by a runner-up effort at Sandown on the Hillside layout.

She then won at Sandown Lakeside and followed up with an impressive 1400m success at Caulfield on April 11.

O’Brien highlighted Gold Coast Belle’s ongoing development.

“She’s just one of those fillies that’s just continued to thrive the deeper she has got into the prep,” O’Brien said.

“Each time she’s gone to the races, she’s looked a better horse, and she was dominant the other day, and she certainly hasn’t gone backwards.

“She’s a good style filly.”

The trainer explained that her Bendigo run will influence what comes next, perhaps a Queensland winter venture.

“It’s still open-ended, but we’ll get through the weekend,” O’Brien said.

“There is either that or the temptation may be to give her a break and have a really good look at the spring.”

Danny O’Brien has also nominated Jett Smash for Saturday’s action.

Jett Smash arrived on a four-race winning streak beforehand, though O’Brien decided to preserve him for another occasion.
