SUNSHINE COAST POLY   21 Jun 2026
 
GOING:

NEIL MANSELL CONCRETE QTIS Maiden Plate 1400m

Track:     Rail: True.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Something Shiny and Brass Band pressing forward with Bonnie Bouquet not far away. OLD FAITHFUL (3) was prominent at the corner and finished second last time over 1200m at Sunshine Coast, beaten only one length. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. SOMETHING SHINY (4) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1300m at Toowoomba. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects. BASSETT'S CHOICE (8) finished 12th two runs back then did well last start but just found one better over 1400m at Sunshine Coast, beaten only 1.4 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BONNIE BOUQUET (9) could only manage 11th two runs back then improved last start when she did her best work late but found a couple better over 1200m at Sunshine Coast, beaten only 1.75 lengths. Best figures measure up and is sure to run well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 3,4,8,9.
