Sunshine Coast Race 8

Kawana Rsl Sub Branch Hcp (C1)

Prize Money: $28,000

KING EMPEROR (1) drove hard to get off the mark at Ipswich, where he justified his firm market support. His previous run at this track was better than sixth reads, with interference and a held-up passage before he charged home, and the recent trial has kept him up to the mark. SILENT ANSWER (3) also brings winning form, having won her maiden here last time when charging hard late. Has further improvement in store and should appreciate the extra 200m. CAISHEN (2) has chased gamely into the placings in both runs back and should be hitting his straps now stretching to the mile. Is another genuine threat. ROARING SUCCESS (6) was unwanted in betting at Beaudesert but ran second after being forced wide. Strips rock-hard fit and may be able to sneak a minor spot if they overdo it in front.

Comments

Resumes after two months off following a narrow Ipswich Maiden win, where he was sent out an odds-on favourite and beat Brass Band by a nose despite being bumped at the start. His previous sixth at this track had more merit than the result, as he was hampered, held up and still charged home late. Had excuses at this track two back and looks well placed to take the next step.

Has been solid in both runs this campaign, finishing second in a Benchmark 58 at Lismore before running third in a Benchmark 60 at this track, beaten two and a half lengths by Divine Justice. He is fit third-up and brings reliable recent form, but his two previous attempts around 1600m have not produced a placing. Built nicely into this and gets his chance.

Comments

Bounced back strongly at this track last start, winning a Maiden over 1400m by a length and a half from Akira San after being near the top of an open market. The Gold Coast run prior was plain, but she did strike interference there and the latest effort is the right reference point. Has placed at 1600m and rates as a strong winning chance again.

Was safely held in a Benchmark 60 at this track last start, finishing sixth and beaten just over eight lengths after beginning awkwardly, leading narrowly and being swamped late. Her prior fifth over 1800m here was fair rather than sharp. Rough place chance.

Comes out of a country run at Armidale where he finished last, beaten just under nine lengths by Foxwedge Arrow after being in the right spot and offering little. The Goondiwindi second two back in BM50 grade reads better, and the weight relief with Bella Youngberry claiming helps. Not legless.

Improved sharply at Beaudesert last start, running second in a Benchmark 55 and beaten only a long neck by Azuki after settling back, covering ground and being forced wide from the 400m. That was a major turnaround from his 11th at this track when slow away and unable to make ground. Weight relief helps and he profiles as a place hope.
