Expecting Sunnycoast to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. ROCKY REWARD (4) was suffering heat stress after his last start, and it is worth ignoring that run. He won his maiden at the Gold Coast easily before that and can bounce straight back into the money here. TRACK TALE (2) has only battled in his last 3 starts in the city, and she will be happy to be back racing on her home track. A form reversal is on the cards. Each way. ROCKY RICH (6) was too strong at a recent Roma picnic meeting when scoring by a length. He has 6kg less to carry this time and is the likely leader. He should take some pegging back again. SUNNYCOAST (1) and THE HAIRDRESSER (8) are both capable of top 3 finishes. SUGGESTED PLAY: Track Tale each-way.
