Sunshine Coast Race 2 - Higgins Coatings Hcp (C1)
LARADO (1) resumes here but the form he showed in his first preparation was good enough for a race of this calibre. Tuned up for this with a recent trial and a strong showing while fresh would not surprise. Former Victorian TARA'S REWARD (4) returned in good order winning over this track and trip in the first run for the new barn and successful rider Thornton sticks in the irons. Can go back-to-back. HANNABANA (7) has a handy record here on her home circuit with a win and two placings from four spins. Strips fitter second-up and has genuine top-three prospects. HEY DAISY (6) gets Rodd back on board and cannot be discounted lightly.

Second run back. First-up after eight months ran last of 10 at this track Cl1 on December 5 over 1000m, 13 len behind Over Draft carrying 59.5kg at $18. Previously second-up ran last of 9 at Eagle Farm 3yo Bm70 on March 15 over 1200m, 6 len behind Poster Girl with 56.5kg at $8.50. Fitter but unlikely to threaten.
