Sunshine Coast Race 3 - Mib Metsure Insurance Mdn Plate
TIVACIOUS (4) sets the standard off a solid debut fourth at Eagle Farm on heavy ground, where he was doing his best work late after being hampered at the start and settling back. Rodd sticking adds to the case second-up. MARTINDALE KID (2) resumes after being beaten a stretch on debut at this track when near the top of betting, in what has proven a terrific form reference. A recent trial and the 1.5kg claim give him a platform to return better. Debutant HOT'N'SMART (5) has won two 1000m trials and has Ben Thompson aboard for David Vandyke. Enough to like there, and it'll pay to watch for the market thinks. SYMMETRIQUE (3) strips fitter and is improving. Keeping safe for a minor spot.

Second-up after a tough debut at Gympie, where he was slow to begin and finished fifth in a small field, beaten over 16 lengths by New Prospect. The move to 1400m is new, and there was not enough in that first outing to make a strong case here. New to 1400m and has a fair bit to find.

Returns from a six-month spell after a debut fourth at this track over 1200m on soft ground, when near the top of betting but beaten over 12 lengths by Moshulu Spirit. He failed to finish it off after travelling into the race, so the new 1400m trip is the main query. Recent trial and 1.5kg claim keep him firmly in the mix.

Stuck on fairly when sixth at Eagle Farm last start, beaten four and a half lengths on heavy ground after being hampered at the start and having every chance to quicken. His debut fifth had some merit after a slow beginning, and he now reaches peak fitness third-up with first-time blinkers applied. The new trip is a query, but a place is within reach.

Made a promising debut at Eagle Farm, finishing fourth over 1200m on heavy ground and beaten just under three lengths by Budda Bar after being hampered at the start. He was among the outsiders there, so the effort reads well, and he is rated the strongest exposed profile in the field. New to 1400m, but brings the best exposed form.

Debuts with a solid grounding, having won a 1000m trial at Sunshine Coast Inner Track after earlier trial wins and placings. He is a $130,000 yearling purchase for David Vandyke, and Ben Thompson is a strong booking as the top-ranked jockey for wins at this track. Wide draw is the hurdle, but the profile is strong.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a plain debut at Doomben, where she finished last and was beaten over 12 lengths by Sky Dweller without a clear excuse. She has had two trials since, including a recent close fourth on the Gold Coast Poly, and draws barrier 1 for a strong Jack Bruce stable. Debut was plain, so improvement has to come.

Returns from a six-month spell after finishing last on debut at Sunshine Coast Poly, beaten over 17 lengths by Far Beyond when unwanted in the market. She jumped awkwardly and settled back, but made no impression late, and the recent trial also reads only fair. Hard to recommend until she shows more.

Makes her debut with two trials behind her, but both were safely held efforts, including a sixth at Deagon two weeks ago beaten more than 10 lengths. There is no race form to offset that cautious profile, and the stable's debut record is modest from the supplied figures. Looks one for later unless she improves sharply on race day.

Returns from a lengthy spell after two well-held runs in her first campaign, most recently seventh at this venue and beaten over 12 lengths when unwanted in the market. She jumped awkwardly and was forced wide near the 1200m, but still made no impression late. Had some trouble last run, but the form still has to turn around.

Returns from a five-month spell after ending last campaign with an eighth at Doomben, beaten over 11 lengths by Benzino at long odds. Her start prior at this track included some traffic, and she has placed once from three starts at this track and distance. Long maiden record keeps her to the fringes.
