Sunshine Coast Race 8 - Coolum - Peregian Rsl Sub Branch (Bm68)
OUT OF LUCK (10) doesn't win out of turn but is desperate to break through soon on the back of some barnstorming finishes. The rise to 1600m suits and under the lightweight he will take plenty of stopping. DON'TCHA THINK (1) is one of the obvious dangers after returning to form with a third here. Fitter fourth-up with Moor sticking, he can play a major role. NAVY NINA (6) brings a reliable overall profile and should be hitting her straps fourth-up. Thompson reuniting from a low draw reads favourably. LUCONI (2) steps up from a country CL3 after making an encouraging start to the prep. Fitter and is drawn kind. Have to include. HOLY FLASH (3) is perhaps going better than his form reads and doesn't have to improve much to be fighting out the finish.

Returned to better form when third over 1400m at Sunshine Coast last start, beaten three lengths by Smoke On The Water after travelling well and continuing to find the line. The Eagle Farm run prior was plain after a slow start and keen racing, but he is fitter now, handles wet tracks and has won at this distance. Carries weight, but his soft-track record and current form keep him right in the race.

Made ground without threatening when fifth in a country Class 3 at Warwick, beaten just over two lengths after being near the top of betting. His Ipswich third in Benchmark 65 grade two back was stronger, covering ground and finishing off well. Weight relief and blinkers help, but the win case is stronger if he handles Sunshine Coast.

Began awkwardly before working home into fourth over 1400m here last start, beaten three and a half lengths by Smoke On The Water in a race where Don'tcha Think finished ahead of him. He had also been fourth at Sunshine Coast on soft ground after leading and boxing on evenly. Must turn the tables on Don'tcha Think, but a placing is well within reach.

Kept boxing on for second in a Benchmark 65 at Beaudesert last start, beaten just over two lengths by The Catch after leading to the turn. Her Ipswich run prior in FM Class 2 grade was plain, but she is now fourth-up, has a strong overall place profile and is proven at the distance. Beaten favourite, but still profiles as a genuine place hope.

Returns from a three-month break after a wide run at Eagle Farm, where she was seventh over 1800m and beaten five lengths in mid-week company. The Doomben run before that was disappointing as favourite, finishing 11th over 2020m on soft ground. Place claims at best.

Closed strongly from well back when fifth in a Benchmark 65 at Gold Coast, beaten only a length by Exceed Perfection after starting an outside chance in the betting. That followed a third over 1400m at the same track, where he was hampered early and still produced a big late run. Up to the mile with a light weight, he sets the standard.
