Sunshine Coast Race 1 - Sunnykids Hcp
SAXON SPIRIT (9) started favourite on debut last start over 1110m at Doomben but couldn't muster any early pace before winding up late to just miss the placings. Far better placed out to this trip on a roomier track. Can improve enough to take this out. KICKUP ROCKY (3) resumed in the same race as SAXON SPIRIT and was impossible to miss, coming from last to be beaten just half a length in an excellent return. Will race closer from a better draw over a bit more ground and looms as the obvious danger. MOMOKA (7) overcame an awkward jump to get up for third on debut in Saturday metro company recently. That form will stack up favourably, with a wide alley the only negative. MURKADO (1) came from a minute back on straightening to just get the cash as $2.30 public elect over this course and distance last start. Progressive type who can win again despite giving weight to all his rivals. BRUMAL (2) is back in class today and can improve on the modest effort last time out.

Had two starts to date. When 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 carrying 57.5kg at $4.20. Second-up favourite; settled well back; won by a head at this track 2yo Mdn-Sw April 19 over 1300m in soft going defeating Coastal Boom carrying 58kg at $2.30. Progressing well and is worth including again.

Second-up. First-up after four months made significant ground from the rear of the field 2nd of 11 at Doomben 2yo Mdn-Sw on April 15 over 1110m, 0.5 len behind Hidden Whisper with 58kg at $14. Previously second-up got back early 6th of 8 at Eagle Farm in the G3 Bj Mclachlan on December 27 over 1200m, slow going 5.5 len behind Zip Lock with 57kg at $41. Back in fine shape and from the good draw is a definite threat.

Dual acceptor. Second-up. First start 2nd in a small field at Gold Coast 2yo C&G-Swp on January 10 over 1100m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Itchintogo carrying 56kg at $5. Returned from break 7th of 11 at Doomben 2yo Mdn-Sw on April 15 over 1110m, 3.5 len behind Hidden Whisper with 58kg at $4. Strips fitter and should be in the mix.

Raced twice to date. At debut, 4th of 7 at Doomben 2yo Hcp on February 21 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind Martist with 58kg at $21. Last start came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 10 at this track 2yo Mdn-Sw on April 19 over 1300m, on a slow track; 1.75 len behind Murkado carrying 58kg at $11. Going okay and worth each-way consideration.

Was well-supported at debut, 5th of 11 at Doomben 2yo Mdn-Sw on April 15 over 1110m, 1.2 len behind Hidden Whisper with 53kg at $3.30. Sure to come on from that run and appeals as one of the major players.

Second-up. First start eased back early on 7th of 11 at this track 2yo Hcp on November 22 over 1000m, 7 len behind Scartoon with 57kg at $31. Returned from break 6th of 10 at this track 2yo Mdn-Sw on April 19 over 1300m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Murkado carrying 56kg at $71. No easier this time and not likely to threaten.

Dual acceptor. Most recently eased back early on 6th of 9 at Doomben 2yo Hcp on April 22 over 1110m, 6 len behind Berzelius carrying 54kg at $201. The run before that ran last of 8 at Ipswich 2yo Mdn on April 6 over 800m, 5 len behind Lucky Pat with 54.5kg at $61. Likely to find this out of reach.
