Sunshine Coast Race 2 - Contract Hydraulics Mdn Plate
LEGAL CAUSE (4) ran well above market expectations last time out when going down by the narrowest of margins in town. Hoop Taylor sticks in the stirrups and should find this assignment a touch easier. Will prove very hard to toss. WHAT DID YOU SAY (6) has hit the frame in both runs this preparation and is sure to get a gun run in transit from gate two. Well placed to play a major role in the finish. The well-related ERAJA (1) (half to Listed winner Miss Debutante) has been well in the betting in both career efforts and where there's smoke there's fire. Keep very safe. GAS BRIGADE (3) has placed around this circuit and may earn some minor money. LA GRACIA (7) strips fitter second-up from the break and gets some weight relief with the claim. In the mix.
