GOING: S(6)

SUNSHINE COAST FALCONS Maiden Plate 1800m

Track: Soft 7   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: +4m Entire. (Pent: 6.69)  

Not much gate speed on show enabling Elite Power to roll to the front. No designated leader and Elite Power may find himself in front. DOUBLE WHAMMY (4) has finished runner-up in both outings this preparation and appears to be improving with racing. Ready to peak now third-up and shapes as the hardest to beat. Former Victorian ORMOND ROAD (3) has been just behind the placegetters in all three runs since joining the new stable and draws perfectly in gate two. Top-three credentials in a race like this. GLOBAL (6) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out but go on the solid Ipswich placing on debut. Worth another chance. ELITE POWER (5) was never in the race last start and can show good improvement with Maloney booked. SUGGESTED PLAY: Double Whammy to break through.
