Maloney's booking and the filly's consistent record provide confidence, but the class rise and soft track conditions present challenges. Strong place chance but may struggle to lead home in this company.

1Spies On
Spies On stands out as the most reliable selection with proven form at this track and distance. The soft track suits perfectly, and she's the only runner with actual experience at Sunshine Coast over 1200m. The step up in distance should suit this staying-bred filly.

5The Aviator
The step up to 1200m suits his running style, and barrier 4 allows Daniel Moor to position him perfectly in the run.
2nd pickScratched
11Silver Spoon
Silver Spoon drops significantly in grade after running a close fourth at Eagle Farm. His consistent margin patterns and class advantage make him a genuine threat despite the long spell. The inside barrier draw helps overcome any first-up fitness concerns.
3rd pickScratched
8Under Arrest
Under Arrest represents excellent value dropping from Open company to maiden grade. His second placing in stronger company at Ipswich shows the ability is there. The gelding operation and significant class drop could see him break through, despite the long spell and wide barrier.

4Bold Blaze
