Races BR Sunshine Coast

Was safely held first-up in a BM65 at this track, finishing seventh behind Oohlalouvre after settling back and being unwanted in the market. His previous run was a long way below par in a BM60, also on soft ground. The return to a Class 1 is kinder and he has won at this track and distance, but recent form gives him plenty to turn around. Preferring others.

Returns from a lengthy spell after closing last campaign with a solid BM68 third at Ipswich, beaten a length by Ave Cantare on heavy ground after racing handy. He had earlier tackled Open grade at Doomben at big odds, so the form has some depth. New to 1000m, but his profile is strong enough.

Has been beaten seven and a half lengths at both runs since winning earlier in the campaign, most recently seventh to Cardonette at Doomben when unwanted in the market and never a factor. The previous Ipswich run was no better despite leading. He is race fit and has won around 1000m, but the latest figures leave him with a clear task. Not this time.

Returns from a two-month let-up after disappointing as a well-supported favourite at Gold Coast, where he had his chance and lacked a change of gears. His Ipswich run prior had more merit, with stewards noting he was held up near the 250m after racing keenly. Strong rebound chance.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a poor BM60 run at Ipswich, beaten over 12 lengths behind Swing State after beginning slowly and offering little late. He had won a Mdn at Sunshine Coast Poly the start prior, fighting out a narrow result over Hard Knox. Sean Cormack is back aboard, but he has to produce a much sharper fresh run. Prefer others on this occasion.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing last in a BM60 at this venue, where he raced wide throughout and faded behind Royal Gladiator. He had also been beaten eight and a half lengths at Eagle Farm the run prior after leading. A previous win at this track is the positive, but the 1000m is new and the latest race form is thin. Looking to others.

Returns from a lengthy spell with the best fresh profile in the race, having tackled the Listed Mick Dittman Plate at Eagle Farm when wide on heavy ground and beaten just over five lengths. Before that she led and won an Eagle Farm Mdn by just under three lengths as a short odds-on favourite. The Deagon trial adds readiness and she is the one to beat.

Worked forward first-up in a BM60 at this track but raced wide throughout and weakened into fifth, beaten just over five lengths. That followed an Open run at this venue in July where he was competitive enough without finishing off. His career place rate is sound, though three unplaced attempts at this track and distance temper the winning case. Not this time.

Finished eighth in a BM58 at this track last start, beaten three and a half lengths at long odds after settling back and failing to quicken. He receives genuine weight relief from that run and this is a Class 1, but he is unplaced in six starts at both this track and on wet ground. The setup is kinder; the recent form still demands improvement. Looking to others.

Returns from a three-month break with a Dalby trial win to suggest he is forward enough fresh. His final run last campaign was a sixth at Gold Coast, beaten just over six lengths behind Rough Cause after being unwanted in the market, and he had earlier been well beaten at this track. Place claims only.

Returns from a four-month break after a Gold Coast sixth in BM58 grade, where he began slowly and was beaten six and a half lengths by Thrash A Bully. His prior run at this venue was also plain, finishing eighth after being hampered at the start. A Deagon trial and a past win at 1000m are positives, but his track record is a concern. Prefer others at this stage.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing eighth at Eagle Farm in May, where she was near the top of betting but raced keenly and faded behind Canara. Two back she contested the Listed Princess Stakes on heavy ground, so her background is stronger than most in this Class 1. The 1000m is the query, but she has a strong case.

Was last first-up at this track, beaten five and a half lengths after beginning awkwardly and racing wide near the 800m. SCRATCHED.

Returns from a four-month break in winning form, having beaten Equitable by two lengths in a Class B at Bundaberg after starting short odds-on. That came after an eight-length Mdn win at Gympie, so she has clearly been dominant in that circuit. This is a harder meeting than picnic grade, and she has to prove that form transfers to stronger company. Not dismissing.

Returns from a three-month break after two Open runs at Doomben, the latest a heavy defeat when wide throughout behind Hot Image. That is easier to assess as background rather than current form, and her latest trial was a solid third at Sunshine Coast Inner Track. Open form was plain, but she can run into a place.

Resumed with a sound fourth at Emerald in BM50 grade, beaten just under a length after leading and being overrun late. This is stronger company than that country run, but she strips fitter, receives clear weight relief and brings a strong 1000m record. A genuine winning hope.

Returns from a four-month break and makes his first run in this state after two Ballarat Synthetic efforts that were only fair, the latest a last of six behind El Salto in BM62 grade. Blinkers come off and barrier one should allow him to settle economically. Synthetic form was plain, but he has place claims.

Ran fourth in a BM58 at this track last start, beaten just under a length by Sapana's Pearl after being slow to begin. SCRATCHED.

Went close in a BM58 at this track last start, finishing third as favourite and beaten a neck by Sapana's Pearl after racing wide throughout. His previous run here was also competitive enough, beaten just over two lengths on soft ground. Race fit and down in the weights, he is right in the mix.
