Sunshine Coast Race 4 - Butler Freight Mdn Plate
KING EMPEROR (6) debuted with a most impressive effort last start over 1200m here, coming from the second half of the field on the bend to go under in a photo. Perfectly placed over an extra 200m. Has more upside than his rivals and looks a great chance to open his account. TOOBLOOS (13) is the obvious danger after some good results in town. Started favourite and worked home strongly to get up for second last time out over this distance at Eagle Farm. Won't spend a penny from the inside draw and will be hard to hold out. I SAY I SAY (5) led for home but was overwhelmed late in the piece over this course and distance a fortnight ago. Has been up for a long while but continues to race well. Good each-way hope. WILD BEAN (9) missed the kick and came from last to get up for third last start over this trip at Eagle Farm. Will get back again from a wide gate but watch for him late. Big gap then to GRANDSTANDER (4) who can improve at the third run back from a spell.

Second-up. First-up after six months 7th of 13 at Eagle Farm 3yo Mdn-Sw on July 15 over 1400m, 6 len behind Love Rebel with 58kg at $31. Previously second-up came from midfield; 3rd of 13 at Gold Coast 3yo Mdn-Sw on December 27 over 1400m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Valouri carrying 58kg at $5. Hard to get excited about his chances.

Comes off a 42 day let-up. Most recently 5th of 7 at this track 3yo Mdn on June 14 over 1200m, on a wet track; 3.5 len behind Imzada carrying 57kg at $19. Before that 4th of 8 at Sunshine Coast Poly Mdn-Sw on May 29 over 1100m, 6 len behind Rhetoric carrying 56kg at $8.50. Likely to find this out of reach.

At the latest run did the work up front then tired 5th of 13 at this track Mdn-Sw on July 12 over 1400m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Cambridge Bay with 58kg at $5.50. The run before that 3rd of 13 at Ipswich Mdn-Sw on July 3 over 1350m, 0.7 len behind Hell Of A High carrying 58kg at $16. Nicely drawn and should give a good account.
