Sunshine Coast Race 1 - Martin Collins Australia Plate (C1)
HIGHLAND KITTY (7) is still a maiden but has been right there at the past three outings and looks to be working up to a victory. Strikes a very winnable contest here and can finally break through. Former Victorian MAKAMAE (4) has been thereabouts in both starts since joining the new stable including placing around this circuit at the latest effort. Gets some weight off with the claim and looms as the main danger. O'EXPLOSIVE (5) has placed three of his past four and will be rock-hard fit for this. Top-three aspirations. The well-related PELLINOR (6) (half to G3 winner Snippets Land) gets Graham on board from the low draw and may earn some minor money. REVELAIDE (2) next best in a race with only a handful of chances.

Most recently 7th of 9 at Kilcoy Cl3 on December 19 over 1500m, 10 len behind Maurice's Medad with 54kg at $101. The run before that raced on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 11 at Ipswich 0 - 58 on December 3 over 1666m, 14 len behind Mazita with 54kg at $101. Finds a few better today. Looking to others.

Last start settled back and ran on when 6th of 9 at Kilcoy Bm60 on January 2 over 1900m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Baccarat Rouge carrying 55kg at $17. Before that second last of 9 at Ipswich Cl2-Sw on December 10 over 2150m, 14 len behind Tajawal with 58.5kg at $61. Maybe a place.
