Rail Position: True entire circuit
Sunshine Coast poly track R1 – C,G & E Maiden Plate 1600m
BOLT ACTION resumes from a spell. Started odds on when favourite at Sunshine Coast first-up last prep but could only hold placing. Clear trial winner leading into this and he can win.
INARI FOX should have finished closer at Grafton first-up when ran into trouble final stages. Sure to be better from that outing and he will be in mix.
MISTA OMEGA resumes. He should have finished much closer on debut at Sunshine Coast. Had break since and two recent trials will have him ready for this.
Tip: BOLT ACTION
Sunshine Coast poly track R2 – F&M Maiden Plate 1100m
LOVELIER is overdue to win her maiden. She has been placed in all three starts this time in and she gets her chance in this field.
POIGNANT led them up for a long way when just missed at Ipswich first-up from break. She will be much better from that outing and sure to be in this for a long way.
MYSTIC MAGIC is a debutant who comes into this off a solid Grafton trial win. Drawn to get the ideal run in transit and would not be surprised to see her run a cheeky race at first start.
Tip: LOVELIER
Sunshine Coast poly track R3 – 2yo Maiden Plate 1400m
BIRDONAWING is racing well enough to get away with this maiden. She comes off a couple of solid placings and although drawn wide goes on top.
MISHANI MISSILE was placed at Gold Coast on debut then just got too far off them last start. If he can sit a little closer he will be right in the mix.
CHARLIE FOXTROT relished the heavy ground at Gold Coast two starts back before run peaked late last start. If he can find form from two back he can figure.
Tip: BIRDONAWING
Sunshine Coast poly track R4 – Class 4 Handicap 2000m
GO DARCY comes off a solid placing at Eagle Farm last start. If he can show some natural improvement off that run should be competitive in this.
CHAKANA is the big query making Australian debut after crossing the Tasman. Only the one run in NZ this prep and that was over unsuitable trip. Out to right distance here.
READ MY FUTURE did some early work in the small field here last start but still battled on and held brave minor placing. Drawn ideally and will be in mix.
Tip: GO DARCY
Sunshine Coast poly track R5 – Class 3 Plate 1000m
CONGLOMERATE brings some solid form into this having won two in a row this campaign. Drawn to get the perfect run in transit and can win again.
HEAD ON UP chased home bravely when ran into minor spot at Ipswich last start. This looks no harder and although drawn wide cannot leave out.
PERSEIDS started favourite at Queensland debut at Ipswich last start. Looks ready to win again and this a nice race for him.
Tip: CONGLOMERATE
Sunshine Coast poly track R6 – BM65 Handicap 2150m
KIPPAX took on a much better race at Eagle Farm last start but overraced and just did not finish well enough. Back in easier race and although drawn wide happy to have something each way.
LADY SALERNO was not beaten all that far at Doomben last start. Expect she will go back from wide gate and watch for her to be making good late ground.
TURN ME OVER is racing in super form having won last two leading into this. Will roll forward and proved hard to catch from the corner.
Tip: KIPPAX
Sunshine Coast poly track R7 – Class 1 Handicap 1400m
TAREX resumes from break. Got his maiden out of the way on heavy ground at Ipswich two back then was placed in town. If forward enough he may be too good for these.
NOT GUILTY crossed the Tasman and makes her debut in Queensland. Should have won in NZ last start when always wide and still stuck on for placing. Barrier the concern.
ISOLYFE won at Doomben two starts back then backed that up with a placing at Ipswich last start. Another drawn out in the car park but must respect.
Tip: TAREX
Sunshine Coast poly track R8 – BM65 Handicap 1100m
MAGIC IN ME only just missed after leading at Doomben last start. Looking for him to cross and find the front again and he can go one better.
IMPOSING BEAU relished the heavy ground here last start and drove clear final stages to win with something in hand. Drawn perfectly and likely to get similar conditions.
AVOLONTE finished the race off solidly when placed fresh. Sure to be better from that outing and she is unbeaten in two second-up runs.
Tip: MAGIC IN ME
