Tulong brings the strongest recent form into this race with a solid 3rd last start at Eagle Farm over 1400m. Has shown ability at similar distances with a good run over 1666m earlier this year. The step up to the mile looks ideal and should get a nice midfield position from barrier 8. With a genuine tempo expected, he can finish strongly down the long Sunshine Coast straight.

He'sgotthesay brings solid form with a good second last start at Eagle Farm over 1400m. Second-up today which is a positive pattern, and draws the inside barrier which should be advantageous. Has shown ability at 1666m previously with another second placing. The main query is the top weight of 60kg, but with Damien Thornton aboard and a good draw, he should be right in the finish.
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.
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.

Caloundra SHS P&C Hcp (C3)
Zaher comes off a strong last-start win over the mile at this track and drops back to the same class. The barrier draw is perfect and he should get an economical run just behind the leaders. While unproven at 1800m, his racing pattern suggests the distance will suit. Jace McMurray's claim is valuable and his record at Sunshine Coast (5: 1-1-1) is encouraging.
Sweet Proposal brings strong form credentials having raced in higher class races. Her soft track record is excellent (7: 1-2-3) which will be advantageous on the Soft 5 surface. The mare has drawn well in barrier 3 and should get a nice midfield position. The removal of blinkers could help her settle better over this distance, though she was beaten by Zaher last start.
Victory Flame brings the strongest recent form into this race with a close 2nd over 1820m last start. Has drawn perfectly in barrier 1 which should allow him to settle midfield with cover. Ryan Maloney is a significant jockey booking and the gelding appears ready to peak third-up.
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.

Nanterre brings the strongest recent form with a close 2nd last start on soft going. Second-up today which suits, and has drawn perfectly in barrier 3 to take advantage of the inside bias. The soft track should be no issue based on last start performance.
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.
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.
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.

Southern Cross Sheds Hcp (C5)
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.
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.
Bonded Affair has a solid record at this track and distance (5:2-1-1) and won two starts back on soft going. Has been a consistent performer at this level and handles soft tracks well. Ben Thompson is a positive jockey booking. The wide barrier is a concern but with the long run to the first turn at Sunshine Coast, he should be able to find a position.
Drops significantly in class from previous assignments and has run fast times at this distance.

Jax Tyres And Auto Caloundra (Bm65)
Lightly-raced gelding resuming from a spell with excellent credentials. Has never missed a place at this distance with 2 wins and 1 second from 3 attempts. Drops significantly in class from last preparation where he was competitive in stronger company. Drawn to get a perfect stalking position behind the early speed and has the tactical versatility to adapt to the race tempo. Ryan Maloney booking is significant.
Mare in excellent form who just missed winning at this track and distance last start. Drawn perfectly in barrier 2 to utilize her tactical speed and should get an ideal run just behind the leaders. The quick backup is a positive based on her consistent form pattern.
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.
Has an outstanding record at this distance with 1 win and 4 seconds from 7 attempts. Carries just 55kg and gets the services of Tiffani Brooker who knows the track well.

Murraybilt Caravans Caloundra (Bm62)
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.
Her last start 2nd placing showed she's ready to step up in class, and she gets in well at the weights with 57.5kg. The barrier is slightly awkward but with her early speed she should be able to find a position.
Zousain Bolt comes off a last start win and boasts an impressive record at this distance (3: 2-0-0). The wide barrier is a concern, but with his early speed he should be able to cross and find a position. The slight class rise is offset by his strong distance record.
His last start 3rd placing at this track showed he's in good form, and the middle barrier gives options.

Radicool Air (Bm58)
Road To Paradise brings strong form from higher grade races, finishing 4th last start in a BM60 at Eagle Farm. The mare has proven soft track ability (1-1-0 from 4 starts) and gets a class drop here. With a good draw and quality jockey booking, she maps to get a perfect midfield position. Her recent racing suggests she's ready to peak third-up and the step up to 1600m looks ideal based on her racing pattern.
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.
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.
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.

Happy 16th Wedding Anniversary Luke & Emma (Bm58)
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.
Tuki Twelve brings solid credentials after finishing a close second in the same race at this track 12 days ago. His record at Sunshine Coast is impressive with 5 placings from 13 starts, and he appears well-suited to these conditions. While his win strike rate is a concern (just 1 from 33 starts), his consistency and track affinity make him a genuine place chance. Ben Thompson retains the ride which is a positive.
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.
The inside draw should allow him to save ground and finish strongly.
