Good pace with Air We Go, Kelly's Landing and Dont Call Me Honey matching motors. VINDICTA (8) was very impressive on resumption when bolting in at the Sunshine Coast to win a CL1 as the $1.50 favourite. Only a lightly raced gelding, he still has some upside and the step up in grade looks a jump he can easily make. Should get every chance to bring up back-to-back wins. AIR WE GO (9) hasn't been far away in his races since a first-up win, with all races being at the Sunshine Coast. He's shown good speed so Thompson can cross from out wide and now at peak fitness, he'll be hard to run down. KELLY'S LANDING (12) worked through the grades impressively last campaign and gets in right down in the weights. She'll find this easier than what she was tackling last time in work and she's sure to put her best foot forward. DONT CALL ME HONEY (7) was solid first-up in this grade at the Sunshine Coast and can be in the finish again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vindicta to go back-to-back to start the campaign.
