Sunshine Coast Poly Track Race 2 - Kawana Dolphins Mdn Plate
DEFIANT CODE (18) makes strong appeal off a close debut sixth at Doomben where he was charging hard late. This doesn't look as tough and the weight relief adds to the case despite the awkward draw. IT'SALL ABOUT MARY (12) has the race experience and recent consistency, missing by a nose at Kilcoy. Gets in light with the claimer engaged and looms the immediate threat. HIT A LICK (11) comes through a good Doomben third at long odds. Expect them to apply positive tactics again. TILLYS LAST WISH (16) is the key debut danger after winning two trials, including one on the Inner Track. The inside draw gives her every chance to convert.

Returns from a three-month break after a difficult Bendigo debut on soft ground, where he was last and beaten over 13 lengths after covering ground and being tightened near the straightening. The later trials have been mixed, although an earlier placing suggests there may be more to come. Trial hints are mixed, so race-day improvement has to be significant.

Resumed with a plain seventh at Gatton over 860m, beaten five and a half lengths at big odds after sitting close enough and failing to finish off. He was also well beaten at this venue at his previous run, weakening to finish last and beaten over 20 lengths. Others bring stronger recent claims.

Ran fourth at Warwick last start, beaten just under three lengths in country company after tracking the lead and covering ground, but this is a stronger meeting. Her prior Grafton seventh was only moderate after she had every chance near the speed. Race fitness is in her favour fourth-up, yet the rise back to 1100m asks her to finish off better. Keeping safe in minors.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing fifth at Sunshine Coast over 1400m, beaten five and a half lengths when unwanted in betting. Her earlier ninth was better than the position suggests, keeping on from well back on soft ground. Capable of running into the placings.

Returns from a six-month break after a forgettable Sunshine Coast debut, where he began awkwardly, struck heels and was beaten over 15 lengths on soft ground. The recent Sunshine Coast Inner Track trial win is a much better pointer, and the 2kg claim also helps. Debut had excuses, so he can improve sharply into a placing.

Makes her debut with two Sunshine Coast Inner Track trials behind her, both fourths, so there is at least a grounding for race day. First-time blinkers are the key gear point and may sharpen her early focus. Trial form is measured, but the setup gives her a place chance.

Comes through the strongest exposed line after finishing third at Doomben in metro company, beaten two and a half lengths at long odds after pressing forward and working home evenly. Her Ipswich run prior was compromised by racing wide and striking trouble. The 1100m record supports a strong winning case.

Went within a nose at Kilcoy last start after travelling well and working home evenly as one of the better-fancied runners. Her Sunshine Coast sixth prior is easier to forgive after she was checked near the 900m. Reliable maiden form makes her a major player.

Finished last on debut at Kilcoy, beaten just over nine lengths at big odds after settling rearward and making no impression. There was no clear excuse there, and It'sall About Mary had her measure in the same race. Weight relief helps, but a big step forward is required.

Makes her debut off two trial wins, the latest at Sunshine Coast Inner Track, so the foundation looks sound for a first race start. She is a $15,000 buy for Kendrick Racing and is out of a family with Sounds Fun winning early in her career. Looks ready to make a serious first-up impression.

Debuts for Renita Beaton after three trials, most recently a Sunshine Coast Inner Track second, and that gives him some practical experience before race day. The family has produced winners, including Urban Triumph at Sha Tin, and Raspberry Rose won on debut. Wide draw tempers confidence, but a placing is within reach.

Produced an eye-catching Doomben debut when sixth, beaten a length and a half after settling back and charging home late in good ground. That form from metro company is the best recent exposed profile in the race, and weight relief adds to the case second-up. Weight relief second-up makes him the one to beat.

Returns from a two-month freshening after two heavy Victorian defeats, most recently ninth at Ballarat Synthetic when beaten over 14 lengths despite racing wide throughout. The Wodonga run prior was no better, beaten over 17 lengths on heavy ground and unwanted in betting. The wide-run excuse helps only slightly; others rate far stronger.
