1Coccinella
Coccinella has shown he can be competitive in wet ground with two narrow thirds earlier in his prep, though his most recent run was disappointing. Barrier 1 with no genuine leader in the race gives him a positional advantage, and the drop back to home turf conditions could see improvement.

8Queen Olympias
Her only Soft-track start yielded a placing, and the significant class relief today aligns with the track's preference for classy, in-form maiden winners. Best form case in the race.

Metric has strung together professional trial wins and arrives fresh with a red-hot young jockey aboard. A genuine each-way threat to the top pick.

Winner6. Maria ClaraSP $3.50
★ Top pick2nd
9Summer Sensation
Summer Sensation drops sharply in class from Open grade racing into today's maiden, having run competitively without winning against much stronger opposition. First-up after a long break is a slight concern, but the excellent jockey/trainer strike rate and consistent finishing efforts against tougher fields make this the most credentialed runner.
2nd pickWon
6Maria Clara
Maria Clara's placing at this same track and on Soft ground last start is the standout form reference in the race, directly relevant to today's conditions. The barrier draw is workable rather than ideal, and while lightly raced, the horse has shown professional placing ability at 1200m locally.
3rd pick6th
2Ignatius
Ignatius is a lightly-exposed runner from a powerful stable (Michael Freedman) fitted with two gear changes suggesting a switched-on preparation for today. Barrier 8 is workable under the neutral bias profile. A genuine placing chance given quality connections despite the unknown profile.
Value pick3rd

13:44 local1800mClass 5$28,000
Winner3. Moonshine RunSP $3.60
★ Top pick2nd
1Leg Drive
Leg Drive looks the most likely winner on a soft-track, slow-tempo Gold Coast staying race where being on-pace at the 400m is the most durable winning trait. As the only genuine leader, he should get an uncontested, favourable run in front. Current form is strong with back-to-back wins, and the barrier is workable. Only query is limited proven soft-track form, but overall profile is the strongest in the race.
2nd pick4th
4Old Song
Old Song enters in career-best form, having just won at this same track and trip. Her soft-track record is one of the strongest in the race (14 starts, 2 wins, 3 places) and she is fresh off a quick backup. A genuine each-way and placing thread.
3rd pick3rd
7Notes
Notes has strung together good form with a win last start at this track on a similarly rain-affected surface, and owns the best track/distance record in the race. Barrier 1 combined with no other confirmed leader gives her tactical scope to sit close and be strong at the business end - fitting the track's on-pace bias perfectly. A knock is the significant class rise, but current form is trending the right way.
Value pickWon
3Moonshine Run
Moonshine Run offers value on recent formlines - a strong home-straight finisher with 2 wins in last 5 starts and consistent top-3 placings. The class rise and unproven track/distance form are the queries, but the jockey is in good touch and the weight is workable.

Rough Cause arrives with a big class drop from Open company into Class 1, having run a game second in a Class 1 race last start on a similar Soft surface.
