Sunshine Coast Race 1 - Vantage Building Group Hcp (C4)
TEQUILA BABY (2) makes her stable debut for the Kendrick's and shoulders strong NSW form. Has been patchy this prep but her peaks are superior. Drops back to 1000m off 41 days and gets in a treat after McColm's 3kg claim. Will take some beating if she's on-song. SHAKO (1) is the proven local danger, with a close CL5 third at this track last start and an excellent track-and-trip record. DREAM LANTERN (5) resumes with two handy Doomben trial wins behind her, so expecting her to be forward enough to give this a shake. SWEET HESITATION (4) was sound first-up here when sticking on soundly into the placings. Fitter and gets weight relief over a trip she relishes. Not underestimating. I MISS MARGIE (8) hasn't won for a long time but drops back from stronger and has peaks that can threaten. Keeping safe in minors.

Closed off well for third in a Class 5 at this track last start, beaten a length by Gambler after being near the top of an open market. His Gold Coast third in Open grade two back also has substance, and he has three wins and five places from ten runs at this track and distance. The weight is no gift, but he profiles as a major winning hope.

Returns from six weeks off after a Randwick M BM78 seventh that was better than it reads, beaten just over two lengths and not fully tested late in Saturday company. She had earlier run second in a Warwick Farm FM BM72 on soft ground, beaten just over half a length. The 3kg claim adds to the main winning case.

Had some excuses when last in a Toowoomba BM70 first-up, being bumped at the start and racing wide, but he was still beaten six and a half lengths and unwanted in the market. He also disappointed as a short-priced favourite in a small Class 3 two back. Has 1000m credentials, but the latest run still asks for improvement.

Resumed with a fair fifth in a BM65 at this track, beaten three lengths after beginning slowly, and she should take benefit from that first-up run. Her earlier Open run at Eagle Farm was plain, but she is a three-time winner from nine starts and has won twice on wet tracks. A cleaner beginning makes her a realistic place chance.

Returns from a lengthy spell after six months off and has trialled well, winning at Doomben two weeks ago and taking both trials since last racing. She ended last preparation with a plain last in a Toowoomba BM70, though there was early contact, keenness and a wide run. The 1000m profile is mixed, but she can run well fresh.

Steps from country grade into a stronger meeting after finishing fourth in a BM62 at Emerald, beaten three and a half lengths when near the top of betting. She had been beaten only a neck in a BM60 at Thangool two back and now gets notable weight relief plus a claim. The setup gives her some help, but this is a tougher assignment than her latest figures. Looking to others this time.

Returns from a lengthy spell after six months off, having ended last preparation with a nose win in a Gatton BM58 as favourite. She had been fourth at this venue on heavy ground the run prior and has since trialled at Sunshine Coast Inner Track. Place form at this track and trip, but others look stronger.

Has been slow away in both recent runs at this track, most recently sixth in a BM70 when beaten three and a half lengths at big odds. The run prior was an eighth, beaten seven lengths, after giving away a big start and being unwanted in betting. The class drop alone is not enough.
