Sunshine Coast Race 1 - Gibbs Gearbox & Diff Mdn Plate
Tricky race to assess with a few of these babies at the races for the first time. Of the raced brigade RIPLEY (5) just ran into a couple better at Canterbury on debut and should find this assignment a touch easier. Was well supported on that occasion and where there's smoke there's fire. Can improve enough to take this out. GREEN SPRING (3) is facing the starter for the first time but has shown ability in his NSW trials and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Respect any market confidence. SOLIDUDE (7) has hit the top-four in all three starts to date including placing over this distance range two back. Genuine top-three credentials. TURBO TORQUE (8) strips fitter third-up from the spell and may earn some minor money. DUN DARTE CHEAP (2) is trained on course and should be kept safe on debut.

Two-year-old colt by first season sire Justify out of Aotea Miss. Half-brother to three-start maiden Blue Denim Girl. Dam was unraced. He has four recent trials leading in today's debut. Won his most recent trial at Gold Coast over 1000m on April 22. A betting push will add to the confidence.

At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 11 at Ipswich 2yo Mdn-Sw on April 30 over 1240m, slow going 2.75 len behind North Pole carrying 58kg at $19. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at Gold Coast 2yo Mdn on April 11 over 1300m, on a slow track; 0.5 len behind Red Code with 59kg at $9. Up in trip and is worth some thought.

Second-up. First start sat on the speed throughout before fading 7th of 10 at Gold Coast Mm Debut 2yo SW on January 11 over 1000m, on heavy track; 7 len behind Amosu with 55kg at $26. Returned from break second last of 11 at Eagle Farm in the LR Calaway Gal on April 26 over 1200m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Dragonne Rouge carrying 56.5kg at $41. Not keen on her chances.

Second run back. First-up after four months 5th of 11 at Toowoomba 2yo Mdn-Sw on April 27 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Brave Jet carrying 56kg at $31. Previously second-up 3rd in a small field at Ipswich 2yo Mdn-Sw on January 7 over 1200m, slow going 8 len behind Wollzeile carrying 56kg at $13. Expecting her to kick on with that first run out of the way.
