SUNSHINE COAST POLY   13 Apr 2025
 
GOING: G

QUEENSLAND SHOWJUMPING CLUB BENCHMARK 62 Handicap 2150m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

They will just hack along with no noted on-pacers facing the starter. SACRED BULL (2) turned in a good effort when narrowly defeated last time at Sunshine Coast over 2200m. Rates highly on best figures and is a leading chance. FORUM ONE (3) made light work of her rivals here last start, first go on the Poly. No reason she can't repeat the dose. PRINCETON AWARD (5) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 1900m at Gold Coast Poly. Suitably placed so he can figure again. PAPAL MISS (7) should appreciate the added trip and Sean Cormack gets the best out of this six-year-old mare. This is a nice drop in grade so she can find the winners' list. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sacred Bull to win.
