Sunshine Coast Race 1 - Martin Collins Australia Mdn Plate
Former Victorian TARA'S REWARD (4) is having his first run for the new stable but should find this easier than what he faced down south. He resumes a gelding as well and judging by his trials, the scratching of the early fave opens the door right up for him. RALOS STAR (3) had been plying his trade in town before the break and will be better with that preparation now under the belt. Comes here without a trial which is a little query, but he has the class to feature on reusmption. FACTNOT FICTION (1) strips fitter second-up from the spell and may earn some minor money. GUNNIE GUNFIGHTER (2) next best.
