Tickle My Tosen has shown ability with a close 4th at Doomben two starts back. The addition of blinkers should help focus and the drop back from 1400m to 1200m looks ideal.
Billy Boom is showing improvement with a close 4th last start at Ipswich. The addition of a tongue tie may help and he has tactical speed to take a forward position.
Claw Machine has the inside barrier which is a significant advantage at Sunshine Coast.

Wynette has the standout form with one second and four thirds from six starts. The inside barrier is a significant advantage at Sunshine Coast and she's the clear top pick.
Barbieland is an interesting first starter with several positives. The addition of blinkers first time should help focus, and the combination of a good barrier and top jockey suggests connections expect a forward showing.
Frothsay showed promise on debut when beaten less than a length at this track. The step up to 1200m should suit and having Michael Rodd aboard is a positive. Has experience on this track under similar conditions.
Techna has the rails draw which is a significant advantage at Sunshine Coast. As a first starter there's some uncertainty, but the barrier is a major plus and the stable has a good record with young horses.

Express Payment has the standout credentials with a win at this track and distance. His recent form has been consistent with a 3rd last start at Eagle Farm over this distance. He handles soft tracks and has a good barrier. The addition of ear muffs pre-race and a nose roll may help him settle better.
Gifted Gamer has been in excellent form with a close 2nd last start at Warwick over 1500m. While the barrier is a concern, his versatile racing pattern should allow him to overcome it.
Michael Rodd stays aboard which is a positive. The wide barrier is a concern but he has the ability to overcome it based on his track record.
Typhoon Tip won two starts back at Warwick over 1500m and has good soft track form. She's a consistent performer with 3 wins and 3 seconds from 28 starts.

Deep Dawn has the best form credentials with 3 seconds and 3 thirds from 15 starts. Her recent form has been excellent with a 3rd and 2nd in her last two starts. The removal of blinkers may help her settle better over the 1400m.

Make It So is in outstanding form with wins in two of her last three starts. While she's drawn wide and hasn't raced at this track before, her current form is too good to ignore and she's a deserved favorite.
Vesper Lynd has been knocking on the door with 4 seconds from 9 starts, including a second last start at this track and distance. While she's yet to break through for a win, this looks an ideal opportunity.
Kwik Az Hell has an outstanding record at this track and distance with 1 win, 2 seconds and 1 third from 5 starts. She has the advantage of barrier 2 and is a consistent performer. While she carries top weight and hasn't won for some time, her track/distance record makes her a genuine contender.
Loken has the advantage of barrier 1 and a 3kg claim to reduce her weight. She ran second two starts back at this track and distance and is lightly raced with plenty of upside.
