From barrier 4, should be able to take up a forward position. The Gollan stable is renowned for having their horses well prepared on debut, and the booking of Ben Thompson is a positive indicator.

The Sun Dance brings the strongest credentials with an excellent track and distance record (7: 2-1-2) and consistent recent form. While carrying topweight, he's proven effective on soft tracks and should get an ideal run from barrier 3 with the expected fast tempo.
Lightly-raced 3YO filly with significant upside after winning impressively last start at Doomben on soft ground. Despite the class rise, she gets in with just 55.5kg and has drawn perfectly for her forward racing style. Ryan Maloney is a significant jockey booking. The soft track conditions should suit based on her previous win, but first-up status and limited experience are concerns.
Mare with a strong first-up record (2: 0-1-1) resuming from a lengthy spell. While she hasn't won at this track or distance, she has placed 3 times from 6 attempts at the trip. The soft track is a query but her overall ability and fresh record give her place claims.
While she was disappointing last start, her previous form was solid and she should appreciate the expected fast tempo.

Taga Smile brings the strongest recent form into this race, finishing a close second last start at Gunnedah over 1250m. Now second-up from a spell with natural improvement expected, this Kris Lees-trained filly drops significantly in class from her previous Open company race. Well-drawn in barrier 2 with inside barriers favored at this track, and gets the services of quality jockey Damien Thornton. The step up to 1400m looks suitable based on her racing pattern.
Roxset brings consistency and experience to this race with a solid 4th placing at Eagle Farm two starts back over this distance. Jake Bayliss retains the ride and knows this mare well. While she's yet to win from 14 starts, her recent form suggests she's knocking on the door, and the minimum weight of 54kg is a positive.
Her consistent form includes a 4th at Lismore and 6th at Gold Coast in her last two outings. The 15-day turnaround suggests fitness is maintained, and she gets the services of quality jockey Robbie Dolan.
While yet to place from 3 career starts, the first-up factor combined with the favorable draw gives her claims in this maiden field. The addition of blinkers could sharpen her up.

Praise You has been a model of consistency with 4 thirds from 8 starts and performs particularly well on soft tracks. The moderate-fast tempo should suit his racing pattern, and the removal of blinkers may help him finish stronger.
The inside draw is advantageous according to track bias data, and he's likely to be on-pace which suits the expected race pattern. The step up to 1400m is the query, but his running style suggests he should handle it.
Elrond brings solid form credentials with placings in half his starts including a 3rd at this track and distance. He's experienced at the 1400m trip with 3 previous attempts and should be suited by the moderate-fast tempo. Barrier 8 is the main concern in a race favoring inside draws.
The inside draw is advantageous according to track bias data, and his improving form pattern suggests he's ready to peak.

The 1300m is a query but her strong finish over 1000m indicates she should handle it.
The inside draw suits perfectly at Sunshine Coast, and he should be able to utilize his early speed to take up a forward position. While stepping up in class, his recent performances suggest he's ready for the challenge. The soft track is a slight query.
Gagnante Enchere brings excellent course form with 7 placings from 11 starts at Sunshine Coast. The barrier draw is ideal, and she should get a nice run midfield. The soft track is the main query, though she has placed twice on soft going.
Brooklyn Daisy represents excellent value given her consistent form and particularly her affinity for soft tracks (1-2-0 from 4 starts). She's second-up from a spell with an excellent second-up record (1-1-1 from 3) and has won previously at this track.

Flywheel brings excellent credentials with a strong record at this track and distance plus strong soft track form. His recent performances have been consistent with two wins from his last five starts. While carrying top weight is a concern, he maps to get an ideal run from barrier 5 and should be right in the finish.
Chinchilla Ahead brings a strong win rate and consistent form to this race. The lightweight impost of 53kg is a significant advantage, and he maps to get a good run from barrier 4. While unproven at the track and rising in class, his second-up record is excellent, and he should be competitive at this level.
Italian Riviera brings a high win rate and is dropping significantly in class from his last start. While his recent form has been inconsistent, the class drop and proven ability at the track make him a genuine contender.
While unproven at the track, his soft track record is solid and he has experience at the distance.

Rugby brings compelling second-up credentials with a perfect record when second-up from a spell. His first-up run produced a solid fifth placing and he should improve significantly here. The inside draw is ideal on this track, especially with the rail out 5m. Has won at this track previously and the addition of blinkers first time should sharpen him up. Well-suited by the soft track conditions.
Jenni Moreese brings strong distance credentials with an impressive 4:1-3-0 record at the mile. She's dropping significantly in class after racing in stronger company and has a solid record at this track. The wide barrier is the main concern, but with a long run to the first turn, she should find a position.
While he's rising in class and has limited experience at the mile, his recent performances indicate he's ready for this assignment. The barrier draw gives him options to settle midfield in a race with good tempo.
His second-up pattern could see significant improvement from his first-up run. The inside barrier is advantageous and he should get every chance from there. His synthetic form indicates ability on rain-affected going.
