Sunshine Coast Race 4 - Happy Birthday Rick Elliott Hcp (C1)
SPIES ON (3) has made an excellent start to his career, following up a narrow debut second here with a strong win over 1100m on the poly track here a fortnight ago, and while the draw is tricky, he has the scope to overcome it and take the next step immediately. DASHING HOPE (11) did not fire over 1400m on a heavy track here last start, but her form was heading the right way before that. On a firmer surface, she can figure in the finish. Each way value. BELLOVE (5) resumes after a break, and her last run before spelling can be forgiven after starting from a wide gate that day. She comes to hand quickly, and with a recent trial under her belt, she will be ready to rumble, especially if the money comes for her. CALL TO COURAGE (7) is a progressive filly resuming after finishing second at Ballina in early January. She will be a lot stronger now, and with some luck from a wide gate, she can figure in the top 4.

Comes off a 37 day let-up. Last start second last of 7 at this track Bm68 on February 13 over 1000m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Bonfire Spark with 54.5kg at $10. The race before that ran last of 7 at this track Bm65 on January 16 over 1000m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Provance carrying 56.5kg at $9.50. No surprise if she found some form in this suitable contest.

Second-up. First-up after five months in a small field at Gatton Bm68 on March 1 over 860m, slow going 3.5 len behind Palawa Kani carrying 52kg at $16. Previously second-up 2nd of 12 at Rockhampton Mdn on July 4 over 1050m, on a slow track; nose behind Over Draft with 54.5kg at $10. Find this too tough.

Most recently held ground to the line 3rd of 10 at Dalby 0 - 55 on March 3 over 1100m, 1.0 len behind Rum Diary with 54kg at $10. The start before that eased back early on 5th of 7 at Dalby 0 - 55 on February 14 over 1000m, 1.5 len behind Mr Evans carrying 52kg at $6. Can't tip with much confidence.
