★ Top pickWon
4Makamae

Our price $2.40 · SP $1.85 · Corey Sutherland

Four-year-old mare dropping in class after a solid 3rd over 1800m at this track. Has been racing consistently with a win and multiple placings from limited starts. While untested at 2200m, her racing pattern and recent performances suggest she'll appreciate the extra distance. The moderate tempo should suit her style, and she appears well-placed to break through in this company.

2nd pick2nd
7Highland Kitty

Our price $3.20 · SP $3.10 · Ben E Thompson

Lightly-raced four-year-old mare showing steady improvement with each run. Produced a strong finishing effort for 2nd last start over 1890m at Toowoomba. While facing a significant class rise, she's well-weighted with 55kg and has shown enough staying potential to suggest the 2200m is within reach. The moderate tempo should allow her to settle and finish strongly.

3rd pick3rd
2Revelaide

Our price $5.50 · SP $5.50 · Chelsea Baker

Five-year-old gelding with proven staying credentials including a win at this distance. Drops slightly in class after a moderate 6th last week over 1900m at Kilcoy. The top weight is a concern, but his staying ability and race experience give him claims in a race that should be run at a moderate tempo.

Value pick6th
5O'explosive

Our price $9.00 · SP $14.00 · Todd Banks

Five-year-old gelding showing marked improvement with consecutive placings in his last two starts. While facing a significant class rise and untested at 2200m, his recent form suggests he's ready for the step up in distance.

Winner1. LaradoSP $1.45
★ Top pickWon
1Larado

Our price $2.20 · SP $1.45 · Daniel Moor

Larado brings the strongest form credentials with a perfect record at this distance. Despite the wide draw, he has the early speed to overcome it and should be able to find a forward position in a race with very fast tempo.

2nd pick8th
4Tara's Reward

Our price $8.00 · SP $15.00 · Damien Thornton

The inside draw is ideal for his forward racing pattern, and he should get a perfect run behind the speed. Second-up today suggests further improvement, and while this is a class rise, his last-start win indicated plenty of upside.

3rd pick5th
8Milestone

Our price $10.00 · SP $19.00 · Robbie Dolan

While she typically settles back, the very fast tempo predicted should set up perfectly for her strong finishing burst.

Value pick6th
7Hannabana

Our price $12.00 · SP $15.00 · Cejay Graham

The addition of blinkers first time could spark improvement, and she's second-up today with natural fitness progression expected.

2nd pick3rd

Our price $5.00 · SP $3.20 · Cejay Graham

King Of The Jungle comes into this race in excellent form with a last-start win and consistent performances in his recent outings. His strong record at both track and distance is a significant advantage, and his racing pattern should be well-suited by the anticipated fast tempo.

6King Spirit

Our price $6.00 · SP $4.60 · Cody Collis

4The Bear

Our price $3.20 · SP $3.20 · Olivia Webb

The Bear brings the strongest recent form into this race with a last-start win at this track followed by a close second. While drawn wide, the long run to the first turn at Sunshine Coast should allow him to find a position. As a progressive 3YO, he appears to have more upside than most rivals.

2nd pick7th
10Home Zone

Our price $7.00 · SP $9.50 · Leah Martyn

Home Zone brings winning form to this race, having scored last start at this track. She has a strong record at Sunshine Coast and gets in with just 53.5kg. The rise in class is the main query.

3rd pickScratched
3Southern Charm

Our price $4.50 · Cejay Graham

She's dropping in class here and has been racing consistently at higher levels. Her versatility should allow her to adapt to the race tempo.

Value pick5th
8Maikrow

Our price $7.50 · SP $9.00 · Vlad Duric

His overall record shows consistency with 1 win, 3 seconds and 2 thirds from 12 starts. While drawn wide, his backmarker style should allow him to find cover and finish strongly. The expected moderate-fast tempo should suit his running style.

The slight class drop combined with a good barrier draw and consistent recent form makes him the standout selection.

2nd pick4th
5Okesutora

Our price $6.00 · SP $4.40 · Ben E Thompson

Okesutora brings rock-solid consistency with consecutive third placings and a strong affinity for the Sunshine Coast track (2:0-0-2). While he's yet to win at the mile, his two placings at the distance plus proven stamina at longer trips suggests the 1600m will suit perfectly. The good barrier draw and versatile racing pattern allow tactical options, though he is rising slightly in class.

3rd pick9th
2One Beat No Beat

Our price $7.00 · SP $6.00 · Rob Thorburn

Our price $3.20 · SP $3.40 · Michael Rodd

Her consistency is impressive with 9 seconds and 3 thirds from 27 starts. The mare has excellent course form with a second and third from two attempts at Sunshine Coast, and draws perfectly in barrier 3 to utilize her midfield running style in what should be a genuinely run race.

2nd pick4th
4Chayse 'n' Leisa

Our price $4.00 · SP $3.80 · Ben E Thompson

His recent third placing showed he's in good form, and his two synthetic track wins demonstrate versatility. The wide barrier is a concern, but the long run to the first turn at Sunshine Coast should allow him to find a position. This is his first attempt at 1600m, but his racing pattern suggests the distance will suit.

3rd pick5th
7Pride Of Savabella

Our price $7.00 · SP $7.50 · Ryan Wiggins

Pride Of Savabella brings strong credentials as a track and distance specialist, having won at Sunshine Coast and performed well over the mile. While he faces a class rise here, his familiarity with the track is a significant advantage, and his racing pattern should suit the expected fast tempo.

Our price $2.20 · SP $2.50 · Robbie Dolan

First-up from a spell but has shown ability fresh previously. Well-drawn in barrier 6 to get a perfect midfield position in a race with very fast tempo, setting up for her strong finishing burst. Robbie Dolan booking a significant positive.

2nd pick7th
5Storm In Seattle

Our price $2.00 · SP $3.20 · Ben E Thompson

Matthew Hoysted stable has a strong record with debutants, and the engagement of Ben Thompson is significant. First-time gear changes (cross-over nose band and ear muffs pre-race) suggest connections are managing the horse's temperament for debut.

3rd pick2nd
15Snitzstream

Our price $7.00 · SP $4.60 · Cody Collis

Snitzstream offers appeal from the inside draw and drops significantly in class after contesting Listed grade last preparation. While unplaced in both career starts, the daughter of champion sire Snitzel should appreciate the return to maiden company. First-up from a lengthy spell but has been given time to mature and develop. The perfect barrier draw will allow her to save ground throughout.

Value pick4th
10Geitz

Our price $8.00 · SP $5.50 · Chelsea Baker

Has shown ability when fresh previously with a third placing first-up. Well-drawn in barrier 5 to secure a good position and has experience in stronger company. The Tony & Maddysen Sears stable can ready their runners for a bold showing first-up, making her an appealing value proposition.
