Strong early pace from Birmingham and Fearless Thinking pushing forward. WHAT A WEEKEND (9) led and was quickly back on track beaten a whisker in a Sunshine Coast 65. He maps well and gets in light this grade with a 3kg claim atop. Peaks and can go one better. UMETINI (11) won a CL1 first-up at the same track having switched from the top Victorian yard. She has more to give and goes second-up. Will go close with average luck from the awkward barrier. STARRY EYES (2) is third-up and proven in that state. He has plenty up his sleeve and Rodd goes aboard. The longer sprint suits and he's also a chance. LUDOVISI (5) can progress second-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: With What A Weekend.
