Frothsay brings the strongest form credentials to this race with a recent 2nd place finish at this track. Has excellent Sunshine Coast stats (5:0-1-2) and performs well on soft tracks (5:0-1-2).

Singer Sargent brings strong credentials dropping back from metropolitan grade to provincial class. His record at Sunshine Coast (8:2-1-0) is excellent, and he's drawn perfectly to utilize his on-pace racing pattern. While carrying top weight, he's shown consistent form and should appreciate the return to 1600m where he's previously performed well. The soft track conditions shouldn't pose any issues with a solid soft track record (8:1-1-1).

Our price $9.00 · SP $21.00 · Courtney Bellamy

While his overall win strike rate is low (2 from 81), his record at this track and distance (14:1-3-0) is encouraging. The inside draw suits with the current track bias, and he's shown he can be competitive at this level.

Our price $5.50 · SP $4.00 · Jag Guthmann-Chester

Lightly-raced 4YO gelding coming off a maiden win at this track over 1300m. The step up to 1400m looks suitable based on his racing pattern, and he's drawn perfectly in barrier 1 to take advantage of the inside barriers bias. First-time blinkers should help him focus, and his soft track record (1 win from 2 starts) suggests today's conditions will suit. The class rise is the main query.

Our price $6.00 · SP $3.50 · Ben Thompson

Lightly-raced 4YO gelding with untapped potential coming off a maiden win. The main concerns are the significant class rise from maiden grade and the fact he's first-up from a lengthy spell. Barrier 12 isn't ideal but his racing pattern suggests he can overcome it.

Our price $7.50 · SP $8.50 · Olivia Webb

Consistent 5YO mare who was narrowly beaten last start at this track and class. Her record at Sunshine Coast is solid (1-2-1 from 11 starts) and she has a win from 2 attempts at this track and distance.

Mio Sorrento brings excellent course experience with a strong record at Sunshine Coast (7: 2-3-0) including at this distance (3: 1-2-0). He's drawn perfectly in barrier 2 and has proven soft track ability. While carrying top weight is a concern, his recent win two starts back at Doomben shows he's in good form, and he should appreciate the long straight at Sunshine Coast.

Our price $9.00 · SP $16.00 · Luke Dempsey

He's dropping in class from his recent runs and should appreciate the likely fast tempo. The return of blinkers could sharpen him up, and from barrier 5 he should get a perfect midfield position. His best is good enough to win this.

Our price $6.00 · SP $8.00 · Jasper Franklin

Let's Do It Again brings strong recent form into this race, having won over the same distance last start on a soft track. The J C Smerdon-trained gelding has a fitness edge with just 9 days between runs and has already proven his ability to handle soft conditions. The inside barrier should allow him to take up a forward position.

Our price $8.00 · SP $8.00 · Daniel Moor

The Annabel & Rob Archibald-trained mare has a perfect record at this track and distance, winning her only previous attempt. She's second-up from a spell today, a pattern that has previously yielded success with one win from two attempts.
