Sunshine Coast racing tips
—
A heavily backed runner on debut is Cedrela, who showed good enough speed when running third in a recent trial at Doomben.
The two-year-old colt by Ole Kirk opened at $5 before firming to $2.90, which is a serious move for an untried runner.
We’re happy to follow the money coming for him.
Stake: 1 Unit
Luck is needed from a wide barrier, but Ancient Scent showed enough speed on debut at Gold Coast to warrant attention.
The five-year-old mare ran three lengths behind the winner, and her trial form since has included a win at Beaudesert.
Having Ryan Maloney riding helps, and her opening odds of $14 have shortened.
Stake: 1 Unit
Tajawal was too smart for them at Ipswich last time out, and a repeat of that effort could be on the cards.
The Declan Maher-trained son of Frankel is only a three-time winner, but he typically stays in form following a win.
That’s a good sign, and the each-way odds appeal.
Stake: 1.5 Units
The three-year-old son of Farnan is paying much better odds than expected at $11, so we’re including him in our horse racing picks.
He owns three placings from four starts overall, including a second placing at Sunshine Coast last time out, which is a good form guide.
He has drawn wide, but with any luck, he should run well.
Stake: 1 Unit
Money should come for Nails Murphy, who has long threatened to score an overdue win.
The Ciaron Maher-trained six-year-old is only a three-time winner from 24 starts, but his recent form at Eagle Farm and Doomben is good.
Getting 3kg off his back is enough to take him close.
Stake: 2 Units
Punters get value odds for Time of My Life, who indicated a return to form when running third at Sunshine Coast last time out.
The Tony Gollan-trained five-year-old mare owns a win and a placing from five starts, so it has been a good start to her career.
Angela Jones riding from barrier three adds to our confidence.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Creativity Miss is best backed to win after running second at Doomben, which is a good form guide for racing at Sunshine Coast.
The four-year-old daughter of Written Tycoon has been all around the mark throughout her career, including three placings at the track.
It’s solid enough form to justify the odds.
Stake: 2 Units
We’re snapping up the each-way odds for Bundella, who didn’t have all favours in his two starts at Doomben and Ipswich.
His prior form included a win at Sunshine Coast, where he has yet to finish worse than second from two career attempts.
Include him in picks at the current odds.
Stake: 1.5 Units
