Sunshine Coast Race 2 - K Smith & Son Jewellers Mdn Plate
Tricky race to assess with a few of these facing the starter for the first time. Of the raced brigade MURKADO (6) was in the betting on debut at Eagle Farm but just ran into a couple better on that occasion. Should find this assignment a touch easier and where there's smoke there's fire. Rates the testing material. The well-related MOTIVATING (5) (half to Listed winner and G1 placed Statuario) just missed the frame in town on debut and will have taken a stack of benefit from that day at the races. Can get off the mark this time. WULFHERE (8) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and must be respected out of the Munce barn. Include in calculations. COASTAL BOOM (3) resumes here but has tuned up for this with three solid trials and can run a big race while fresh. ALTO LUNA (1) next best with Maloney on board.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when 5th of 7 at this track 2yo Mdn-Sw on November 30 over 1000m, slow going 3.5 len behind Acrodance with 58kg at $4.40. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Looks all set for a positive return.

Half-brother to Listed winner and Group 1 placed Statuario. At debut, 4th of 7 at Doomben 2yo Hcp on February 21 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind Martist with 58kg at $21. Was runner-up in a trial at Doomben on April 7 over 1000m. Improver who looks ideally placed here. Can progress and take this out.

Was well in the market at debut, 3rd in a small field at Eagle Farm 2yo Hcp on April 4 over 1300m, slow going 1.2 len behind Silken Salute with 57.5kg at $4.20. Better for that outing and looks set to break the maiden status.
