Sunshine Coast Race 1 - Halcol Energy Solar & Batteries Mdn Hcp
The three that have raced were all beaten by huge margins on debut so it looks a race for the first starters. NATION (2) is a Pierata colt from the Sears stable. Trialled twice leading into this and filled a placing both times. Looks to have enough ability to take care of these. WINGMASTER (3) comes here off a close fourth in a trial at the Gold Coast on 27 January. Draws a nice gate which always helps. Stuart Kendrick's gelding DOUBTWILLY (1) trialled here on Tuesday and finished third. Looks wound up for a bright start to his career. PRETTY SMASHING (4) is a Brave Smash filly who has trialled twice, a placing at Beaudesert on 12 January the pick of them. Betting the key indicator. CANYA ZIPIT (5) heads a mediocre trio of runners who have been to the races before.

First-starter by Zousain out of Written Doubt. Finished third in a trial here on Tuesday. Home track might be an advantage.

Colt by Pierata on debut. Has looked handy in two trials leading into this, the latest when runner-up at the Gold Coast on January 27 over 1000m. Looks good enough to test this field.
