Sunshine Coast racing tips

Race 1. (12:23) Caloundra RSL BM70 (1200m)

#3 – Bonded Affair @ $8.50

Bonded Affair was too good for them at Sunshine Coast last time out, which is a good enough form guide for this race.

The four-year-old son of Nicconi loves running on this track with two wins and five placings, so the $8.50 odds are generous.

We expect him to settle handy from the wide draw and kick strongly.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (12:58) Sherrin Rentals BM80 (1200m)

#7 – Caspernova @ $2.30

Caspernova doesn’t know how to run a bad race after posting four wins and four second placings from 10 career starts.

The four-year-old son of Spirit of Boom ran second at Doomben fresh up, but he didn’t jump well, which put him on the back foot.

We expect a return to winning form on Saturday.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 3. (13:33) Access Insulation Bruce McLachlan Stakes (1000m)

#2 – Certified Copy @ $3.10

Seeking three consecutive wins is Certified Copy, who scored at Doomben before handling an off track at Gold Coast.

The two-year-old has made a positive start to his career, and we fancy his chances of making it three on the bounce.

2kg comes off his back, making him a top pick.

Stake: 3 Units

Race 4. (14:08) Dr Bernie Spilsbury Handicap (1000m)

#4 – Gin a Tonic @ $8.00

Gin a Tonic has been a model of consistency throughout his career, including four wins and five placings.

The three-year-old son of Better than Ready owns a win and a placing from three starts, and getting the inside draw with a light weight is ideal.

We thought he would be at shorter odds, so the $8 price is generous.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 5. (14:47) Kevlacat Power Boats (1000m)

#1 – Steady Ready @ $4.00

Steady Ready didn’t fire at Eagle Farm last time out, but he was found to be lame, so there were excuses.

The five-year-old gelding looked much better when winning three consecutive races before that failure, so that form is good enough.

Take the $4 odds before money comes for him late.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 6. (15:23) Double R Group Winx Guineas (1600m)

#2 – Mister Bianco @ $3.10

Mister Bianco comes off three consecutive wins, including an impressive win at Ipswich last time out.

The three-year-old gelding by Zousain owns five wins and four placings from 12 starts, and that form is tough to overlook.

Barrier 17 isn’t easy, but he has time to find cover and sprint late.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 7. (16:02) Tab Glasshouse (1400m)

#4 – Warnie @ $3.00

Warnie flew home to finish third two back against good company before battling away for fifth last time out.

The four-year-old son of Highland Reel is talented at his best, and this race is there for the taking, so we’re putting him on top.

Take the $3 odds, which are likely to shorten on race day.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 8. (16:45) Haymans Caloundra Cup (2400m)

#10 – Don Diego De Vega @ $6.50

Each-way value is with Don Diego De Vega, who is better for two runs this preparation, and he’s due a winning performance.

The five-year-old hasn’t shown his best since moving from Europe, but this level of racing should be right up his alley.

Carrying 54kg could see him run close at nice odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 9. (17:25) Height 4 Hire BM85 (1400m)

#6 – Castillian @ $3.50

Castillian has drawn wide, but after winning at Doomben and Ipswich, he should be right in the mix again.

The five-year-old son of Per Incanto opened at $3 and has drifted since, but with luck, he should be the one to beat.

Class is enough to take him close.

Stake: 1 Unit
