Sunshine Coast Race 3 - Sunshine Coast Falcons Mdn Plate
PREFER TO DANCE (7) is on the doorstep on a maiden victory hitting the top-four in eight of nine career efforts and this is not an overly strong affair. Has placed two of three around this circuit and gets Melbourne Cup winning hoop Dolan in the saddle. Looks very hard to toss. DOUBLE WHAMMY (4) has finished runner-up in both outings this preparation and appears to be improving with racing. Ready to peak now third-up. Former Victorian ORMOND ROAD (3) has been just behind the placegetters in all three runs since joining the new stable and draws perfectly in gate two. Top-three credentials in a race like this. GLOBAL (6) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out but go on the solid Ipswich placing on debut. Worth another chance. PROVEN RECORD (12) best of the rest.

Second run back. First-up after two months settled back and ran on when 10th of 15 at Gold Coast Mdn on May 23 over 1400m, slow going 5 len behind First Man carrying 58kg at $21. Previously second-up 7th of 10 at Kyneton Mdn-Sw on March 20 over 1875m, on a slow track; 11 len behind Win Elegance with 59kg at $6. Strips fitter and should be in the mix.
