Sunshine Coast tips and results

Our price $10.00 · SP $9.50 · Ben E Thompson

Zediquette showed significant improvement last start with a strong second at this track and distance on a Soft 5 surface. Second-up today which is a positive pattern, and the good barrier draw and light weight are additional advantages.

Our price $9.00 · SP $18.00 · Montana Philpot

Roxset represents excellent value with a strong 4th last start at Eagle Farm over 1400m. The step up to 1600m is a query but the lightweight of 52kg and the claiming apprentice are significant advantages. Has been knocking on the door with placings on synthetic surfaces and appears to be improving with racing.

Our price $5.50 · SP $4.40 · Jake Bayliss

Settat represents excellent value after winning over this exact course and distance just 7 days ago. The quick backup should maintain his fitness edge and Jake Bayliss retains the ride. His perfect record at track and distance is a significant positive, though the soft track is a concern.

Our price $3.00 · SP $2.70 · Ben E Thompson

Has shown consistency with a second and third from just two starts. Second-up today which should see natural improvement, though the wide barrier (11) is a concern given the inside bias at Sunshine Coast. Has the talent to overcome the draw if he can get across early.

Our price $7.00 · SP $9.00 · Jace McMurray

Chicago King is a consistent placegetter with 4 seconds and 3 thirds from 10 starts. The wide barrier (15) is a significant concern with the inside bias at Sunshine Coast, but his consistency and class give him place claims if he can overcome the draw. The weight (58.5kg) is another negative factor.

Our price $7.50 · SP $13.00 · Daniel Moor

Finished 5th last start on a soft track, suggesting she can handle today's conditions. Drawn reasonably well in barrier 9 and has experience at this distance.

Our price $2.20 · SP $1.60 · Damien Thornton

Vindicta brings the strongest recent form to this race with a dominant win at this track and distance last start. Has an excellent record at Sunshine Coast (4:3-1-0) and is perfectly drawn in barrier 3 to utilize his early speed. Handles soft tracks well and has Damien Thornton aboard. Clearly the one to beat.

Our price $4.50 · SP $4.40 · Michael Rodd

Super Daisy resumes from a spell with an excellent first-up record (3:2-0-0) and strong track statistics (8:3-1-0). Drops back in class from previous assignments and has drawn well in barrier 4. Michael Rodd takes the ride which is a positive. Has performed well on soft tracks previously and represents the main danger to the favorite.

Our price $4.00 · SP $4.00 · Daniel Moor

Lightly-raced mare with excellent soft track credentials who should appreciate the conditions. Has been racing consistently with a 4th placing last start in similar company. Daniel Moor is a significant jockey booking and the mare is well-weighted with 56.5kg.

Our price $5.50 · SP $9.00 · Andrew Mallyon

Manhattan's brings the strongest recent form, winning over this course and distance last start on similar ground. Has proven adaptability at this track with a solid record of 3: 1-0-1 and handles soft going well (10: 2-1-1). Well-drawn in barrier 4 and should get a perfect midfield position in a race with good tempo. The consistent mare is ready to win again.

Our price $8.00 · SP $13.00 · Jasper Franklin

His last start 3rd placing at this track showed he's in good form, and the middle barrier gives options.

Our price $4.20 · SP $4.40 · Jasper Franklin

Luconi brings solid recent form with a 3rd last start over 1600m at Eagle Farm. The gelding has a consistent profile with a 30% place rate and should be right on the speed from barrier 11. Second-up from a spell with a record of 0-1-1 from 3 starts in this pattern, he's likely to improve on his last run. The slight class drop is another positive, though his moderate win strike rate is a concern.

Our price $10.00 · SP $15.00 · Olivia Webb

Pireonti brings excellent recent form with a close 2nd last start in a Class 3 at this track. Dropping in class from stronger races is a significant advantage, and she's well-drawn in barrier 8. The 3kg claim for Olivia Webb helps offset the weight, making her a genuine each-way chance.

Our price $15.00 · SP $26.00 · Courtney Bellamy

His record at this track and distance (2-0-1 from 8) is excellent, and the quick backup should keep him at peak fitness. Well-drawn in barrier 7, he maps to get a good run midfield and can finish strongly.

Our price $3.80 · SP $4.80 · Michael Rodd

Jimmy Nails brings the strongest recent form into this race with a last-start win over 2110m at Lismore and a close third over 2450m prior. The step up to 2400m looks ideal based on his recent performances, and Michael Rodd is a significant jockey booking. Represents the best winning chance in a race where many runners have inconsistent form.

Our price $5.50 · SP $8.00 · Corey Sutherland

His one attempt at this distance resulted in a placing, and he's been racing consistently with 3 placings from his last 6 starts. While his last start was disappointing (7th), he has the ability to bounce back in this company and should appreciate the return to Sunshine Coast.

Our price $15.00 · SP $26.00 · Adin Thompson

The inside draw should allow him to save ground and finish strongly.
