3Parisienne Piper

Our price $2.40 · SP $3.90 · Olivia Webb

Parisienne Piper brings the strongest recent form with three placings from her last four starts. Her last run produced a solid third over 1600m at this track, and she's shown ability to finish strongly. With a good draw and proven track performance (2 placings from 2 starts), she maps to get a perfect midfield position in what should be a moderate-fast tempo race. The step up to 1800m looks suitable based on her racing pattern.

2nd pick5th
1Old Faithful

Our price $3.20 · SP $2.50 · Jake Bayliss

Maps to take up the running from barrier 7 which should give tactical control. The step up to 1800m is a query but his racing pattern suggests he'll handle it. The main concern is carrying the top weight of 60kg which could tell late if the tempo is genuine. Jake Bayliss is a positive jockey booking.

3rd pick7th
4Zediquette

Our price $5.00 · SP $2.70 · Ben E Thompson

Zediquette showed ability two starts back with a second placing over 1600m on a soft track. She was disappointing last start but gets the perfect draw in barrier 1 which should allow her to save ground throughout. The step up to 1800m looks suitable based on her racing pattern and she gets in well at the weights with 55kg. Ben Thompson is a positive jockey booking and she should improve third-up from a spell.

Value pickWon
2Full Strength

Our price $4.00 · SP $6.50 · Dale Smith

Maps to get a perfect run on-pace from barrier 5 which should give him every chance. The step up to 1800m looks suitable based on his racing pattern and he should be ready to peak third-up from a spell.

Winner2. ShakoSP $2.50
★ Top pickWon
2Shako

Our price $2.20 · SP $2.50 · Leah Martyn

Shako brings the strongest credentials with an exceptional record at Sunshine Coast over 1000m (6: 2-4-0). Well-suited by the Good track and should get an ideal run from barrier 7 with his natural speed. Leah Martyn knows this horse well.

2nd pick3rd
3Defiant Spirit

Our price $3.00 · SP $2.70 · Ryan Maloney

Defiant Spirit represents strong value as he drops significantly in class after racing in much stronger company. His record at Sunshine Coast over 1000m is solid (4: 2-0-1) and he should get an ideal run from barrier 3. The engagement of Ryan Maloney is significant, though he'll need to overcome the top weight of 59.5kg in what should be a fast-tempo race.

3rd pick5th
7Make It So

Our price $7.00 · SP $7.00 · Kyle Wilson-Taylor

The mare gets in with just 55.5kg and should be able to take up a midfield position from barrier 5.

Value pick4th
6I Miss Margie

Our price $12.00 · SP $12.00 · Montana Philpot

While first-up from a spell with an average fresh record, she has an excellent record at the distance (18: 4-3-2) and performs well on Good tracks (11:3-2-1).

1Ready To Schipp

Our price $2.50 · SP $3.10 · Jasper Franklin

The significant class drop is a major advantage, and her second-up pattern (1 win from 2 attempts) suggests she'll be at peak fitness. While yet to win at the distance, she has placed twice from four attempts and has shown she can carry weight effectively.

2nd pick3rd
2Lone Artist

Our price $4.60 · SP $2.90

The inside barrier draw is advantageous, and he should be able to utilize his tactical speed to be on-pace in a race that should favor leaders.

7Red Feather Boa

Our price $9.00 · SP $15.00 · Georgina Cartwright

Red Feather Boa comes into this race off a last-start win and brings a strong record at the distance with 2 wins and 2 placings from 6 attempts. The advantageous inside barrier draw should allow her to secure a good position.

★ Top pickWon
5Silk Sonic

Our price $2.10 · SP $1.80

Silk Sonic brings the most consistent form to this race with two consecutive second placings. While yet to win, she's shown steady improvement and handles good tracks well. The very fast tempo should suit her midfield running style, and from barrier 5 she should get an ideal run. The 4YO mare appears ready to break through in this provincial maiden.

2nd pick4th
11Shemakesmenervous

Our price $4.20 · SP $5.50 · Daniel Moor

Shemakesmenervous returns from a spell with some promising attributes. The significant class drop from Open company is a major positive, and from barrier 1 she should get every chance. The 3YO filly represents solid each-way value.

3rd pick3rd
6Solar Surfer

Our price $10.00 · SP $7.00 · Ryan Maloney

Solar Surfer returns from a lengthy spell but brings some promising attributes to this race. The booking of top jockey Ryan Maloney is significant, and from barrier 4 he should get a good run in transit. The 4YO gelding is worth including in wider exotics.

Value pick5th
14Wingeandwin

Our price $6.00 · SP $8.00 · Ben E Thompson

Wingeandwin is the unknown quantity but warrants significant respect as a David Vandyke-trained first starter. The stable has an excellent record with debutants, and the booking of Ben Thompson is a strong indication of ability. The gear application suggests the horse has been well-prepared. From barrier 6, should get a good position in this very fast tempo race.

★ Top pickWon
1Bundella

Our price $2.40 · SP $2.00 · Angela Jones

Bundella brings the strongest credentials to this race with an excellent second-up record and perfect record at the distance. The wide draw is mitigated by his early speed and the fair nature of Sunshine Coast's 1000m start. Clearly the one to beat.

2nd pick5th
6Lantau Island

Our price $4.20 · SP $3.40 · Ryan Maloney

Lantau Island returns from a spell with solid credentials. His last start second placing in similar company shows he has the class, and his inside draw should give him every chance. The Gollan stable knows how to prepare a fresh horse.

Value pick4th
8Corrupted

Our price $8.50 · SP $7.00 · Damien Thornton

She's been competing in stronger company and drops in class for this assignment. The removal of the cross-over nose band could help her settle better, and with Damien Thornton aboard, she has the right pilot to capitalize on her fresh credentials.

11Hussy Empress

Our price $3.20 · SP $3.60 · Kyle Wilson-Taylor

Her consistency is impressive with back-to-back thirds, and she's drawn perfectly in barrier 2 on a track showing inside barrier advantage. The drop to 55kg is significant and she's shown ability at this track with placings. The fast tempo should suit her running style from midfield.

2nd pick3rd
4Ninjitzou

Our price $3.50 · SP $3.80 · Ben E Thompson

Ninjitzou brings solid credentials with a strong record at Sunshine Coast (2-1-0 from 4 starts) and consistent recent form including a 2nd last start. He's likely to be on-pace which suits the track pattern, though he's yet to race at the mile and carries top weight.

3rd pickWon
5Fifth Force

Our price $4.00 · SP $4.40 · Angela Jones

Fifth Force brings the strongest mile credentials to this race with 2 wins, 1 second and 1 third from 7 attempts at the distance. While he's yet to race at Sunshine Coast and barrier 7 isn't ideal with the inside bias, his mile record makes him a genuine contender.

Value pick2nd
6Hazey Hill

Our price $4.50 · SP $3.60 · Ryan Maloney

His recent form includes a win at 1690m and a placing at this track over the mile. Ryan Maloney is a significant jockey booking, though his overall form has been somewhat inconsistent.
