SUNSHINE COAST POLY   01 May 2026
 
GOING: G

REVIVE FINANCIAL BENCHMARK 55 Handicap 1000m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Pace genuine with Bulsara and Capiana pressing hard closely followed by Darth Invader and Turn Up The Music. THE SOUR (8) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time when beaten half a length into third over 1000m at Sunshine Coast. Can play a major role. BULSARA (1) was safely held when 11th last time out over 1200m at Doomben, beaten 21 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. That followed a win at Nanango at the previous outing. Won't find this as tough so he is a leading player. RIVA D'AMOR (7) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing second and beaten only 1.1 lengths over 1000m at Sunshine Coast. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DARTH INVADER (6) produced another moderate effort last start when 7 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1000m at Sunshine Coast. Capable of featuring prominently. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Sour to progress and win.
