Sunshine Coast Polytrack tips and results

Our price $2.70 · Ben E Thompson

He is the only confirmed leader in a race mapped to a moderate tempo, and his two runs at this track and trip were both second, one beaten half a length. A strong jockey booking and a comfortable lead suit him. Winning has been the issue, but at maiden level in a field with plenty of unknowns he is the most dependable option.

Our price $4.50 · Michael Rodd

A debutant with strong connections. His barrier trial last week was a solid fifth, beaten under three lengths. The wide draw and the lack of race experience are the concerns, but the poly track allows wide runners to make ground.

Our price $8.50 · Jake Bayliss

Only two starts, and she is improving. Both runs showed good late speed, and last start she was beaten only a few lengths in a stronger race. Barrier 2 gives her an economical run on the poly, and the 400m straight allows backmarkers to finish. If the lone leader runs a genuine pace she can get in the finish.

Our price $3.60 · Ashley Butler

Hit A Lick has the most reliable profile of the leading chances. She has early speed, has run to a winning standard and gets a smart booking in a race short of proven leaders. She hasn't won and may be vulnerable late if pressed, but she is the most likely winner on form.

Our price $3.80 · Jake Bayliss

Our price $5.00 · Archie McColm

It'sall About Mary is a reliable place type who has been close several times and should get a handy trip from midfield on a track that favours stayers' finishing runs. She runs on well, but she has yet to win and the barrier is only fair.

Our price $13.00 · Stephanie Tierney

Flying Forward is a trial winner whose only race start can be forgiven.

Our price $3.20 · Tiffani Brooker

She is dropping in class, has won at the track on synthetic and over a similar trip, and has a good record with this rider. Last start's third was better than it looks given the trouble she had. Barrier 2 and a handy position should see her well placed in a moderate tempo.

Our price $3.80 · Stephanie Tierney

A genuine contender with proven synthetic form and a good record at the track. Her last run can be forgiven given the slow start and wide trip. The wide barrier is a concern, but this surface forgives wide runs, and her speed should see her handy.

Our price $4.80 · Michael Rodd

The inside draw and an improving line make him a place chance, but his win strike rate is modest and his stable is cold. He tends to finish off but may be trapped behind runners in a moderate tempo.

Our price $3.20 · Ben E Thompson

He was beaten under half a length over this trip here last start after being held up. He has won on the poly and comes from a stable in top form. Barrier 9 is the only worry, but the surface makes wide runs less costly.

Our price $4.30 · Taylor Marshall

A genuine synthetic performer who won last start and will be handy in a tempo that suits on-pace types. Top weight and a step up in distance are the concerns, but the stable is firing and he is in good order.

Our price $5.80 · Archie McColm

A genuine each-way type who is racing well. The claim helps, and a drop in class adds appeal. He needs the pace to lift to get home from the back, and a moderate tempo is not ideal. Not proven on the poly, but his late finishing makes him a sound place chance.

Our price $20.00 · Mark Du Plessis

A long shot, but the map gives him a real chance. If he gets the lead unchallenged and slows the tempo down, the others will have to catch him. A small each-way type.

Our price $4.20 · Mark Du Plessis

Ralos Star is the most reliable on form. Last start he ran second over this 1100m trip, finishing hard from midfield, and he has won on this surface. With a fast tempo expected and a handy draw, he should be able to settle just off the speed and finish well. The concern is a low win rate, but he is at his best now and drops in grade.

Our price $4.60 · Archie McColm

She won impressively at Gold Coast, drops in class and has a solid stable and jockey behind her. Against that, she is first up from a long break, carries top weight and is likely to settle far back from a wide draw.

Our price $5.50 · Ben E Thompson

Sling is a young horse who has run well against better 2yo opposition and finishes well when given a good tempo. A fast pace is predicted, which should help him come late from the back.

Our price $12.00 · Kayla Johnston

It's Kaos looks overpriced. She should settle midfield with a genuine tempo and has won with this rider.

Our price $3.20 · Archie McColm

Ikasara is the only runner who has won over this track and distance on the poly, and he looks the one to lead in a race with no confirmed pacemaker. His last run in Open company was good, he drops in grade, and the apprentice claim helps him. First-up from a spell is a small risk, but he is the most likely winner on form.

Our price $4.00 · Ben E Thompson

Seneschal has the ideal draw and a running style that suits a moderate tempo, and his recent runs at this track have been honest against stronger fields. He drops in class and has a good jockey booking. The concern is a long run of near-misses and no synthetic experience, so he looks a safer place chance than a confident winner.

Our price $6.50 · Corey Sutherland

Streak Of Winning won last start over this track and trip by running on strongly from a wide position, and he now gets class relief and a weight claim.

Our price $8.00 · Taylor Marshall

Nightcapped can use her gate speed to find a handy spot despite the wide draw, and her recent run behind the leaders at this track was a good one. She has a strong partnership with her jockey and a stable in top form.

Our price $4.20 · Jag Guthmann-Chester

Won on the poly last start and ran an excellent race at this trip at the track earlier. He can lead or sit one off in a moderate-tempo race, which suits.

Our price $7.50 · Gary Geran

A mare with a good record at the trip who does her best work late. She needs the pace to be genuine, and the track allows backmarkers to feature.

Our price $9.50 · Tiffani Brooker

A consistent placegetter who has just won and maps just behind the speed. The synthetic surface is the question, but he is worth an each-way look.

Our price $3.80 · Emily Pozman

She gets a handy midfield trip from barrier 3 in a likely slow race.

Our price $5.00 · Ben E Thompson

Her recent runs have been right at winning standard, and 2000m should suit. Ben Thompson knows this track well. The draw and the lack of any synthetic experience are the risks, but if she is ridden handy in a slow race she is very hard to beat.

Our price $7.00 · Brandon Lerena

A reliable mare who rarely runs a bad race, and she has already finished in the placings on synthetic. The wide draw, heavy weight and cold stable keep her behind the top two, but she shapes as a leading place chance.

Our price $9.00 · Corey Sutherland

He is the best value in the race. He should get a handy midfield trip with a claiming rider.
