Sunshine Coast tips and results

Our price $6.50 · SP $18.00 · Gary Geran

Star Rapper is an on-pace type who drew the rail and should sit close to the speed on a track that favours handy runners. He has a solid BM70 win on his record and is second-up.

Our price $7.50 · SP $13.00 · Michael Rodd

Sweet Hesitation is the only runner with clear early speed, and leaders are hard to run down at this track on a soft surface. She has won twice from four on soft ground and is second-up with the winkers back on.

Our price $13.00 · SP $13.00 · Jack Taplin

Quit 'n' Tap was dominant when leading in the wet at Sunshine Coast and has the early speed to be right in the race from a good gate.

Our price $6.00 · SP $19.00 · Tiffani Brooker

On form this is the most likely winner. It is the only true leader in a field short of early speed, and the track rewards runners who are handy. It has won on soft ground when leading and was only just beaten here last start.

Our price $5.00 · SP $3.60 · Kayla Johnston

A consistent mare with a win and a second at this track in the last six weeks, and the best weight advantage in the race. Barrier 18 and a midfield run are the concerns, but light weight should keep her in the finish. Her soft-ground second last start suggests the conditions are no problem.

Our price $7.00 · SP $8.50 · Daniel Moor

Returns from a spell dropping into easier company with a hot jockey booked.

Our price $5.00 · SP $7.00 · Archie McColm

Tszinsi has the best recent form of these. She led or sat second in two close Gold Coast seconds over 1000m and gets a light weight from gate 3. The speed map has her further back than her actual runs suggest, and she should be handy.

Our price $5.50 · SP $4.20 · Michael Rodd

Cassia County was beaten less than a length on Soft at this track from a forward position and has the early speed to be handy from a wide gate. Michael Rodd is a strong local booking and she is second up from a long spell. The draw takes the edge off, but the profile suits a wet-track sprint where being handy matters.

Our price $5.50 · SP $9.00 · Montana Philpot

The best form profile in the field. Royal Gladiator ran a gallant third over this course and distance at the same class last start, and his recent efforts have been consistently strong. He should get a handy trip from the middle gates in a slowly-run race on a track that favours on-pace runners. He has won on soft ground and at this track.

Our price $4.20 · SP $3.10 · Archie McColm

He is also racing at his normal class with a claimer on board. However, he has never won over this distance in 10 attempts, tends to fade when leading, and has a poor wet record. He is a safe place chance.

Our price $7.50 · SP $6.00 · Fiona Sandkuhl

Returns to the track and trip he knows best after a very sound run at Gold Coast last start. Dropping in grade helps, and he should be handy enough from barrier 7.

Our price $6.50 · SP $6.50 · Brandon Lerena

Consistent mare who has been in the first four of the field at this track and is capable of being near the speed from the draw. She has had a few close seconds and meets a similar standard of opposition.

Our price $5.00 · SP $6.50 · Ben E Thompson

A genuine front-runner with a good record at 1400m and a stable in sparkling form. She led and won last start, and the jockey knows the track well. The risk is a pace battle with Col Burn, and she faded on her only recent Soft run.

Our price $8.50 · SP $9.00 · Jag Guthmann-Chester

A handy-running mare who has been competitive in every start and won on Soft earlier in the campaign. She should settle just behind the speed from a middle gate and gets a class drop.

Our price $6.00 · SP $4.20 · Jace McMurray

The only real front-runner in a race mapped to be slow, at a track that rewards leaders and handy runners. She has been competitive in stronger Doomben maiden races and gets to run in softer company here. The wide gate and the soft ground are the questions, but if she crosses cleanly she can control the race.
