Sunshine Coast Race 3 - Double R Group Hcp (C5)
INFLUENTIAL (5) never saw clear air running when resuming a well-backed fav here two weeks ago. Has plenty under the bonnet and if Thompson keeps him out of trouble he will prove very tough to stop. MISHANI CROWN (6) has the more straightforward recent form after a narrow Ipswich second behind Gospel Girl and brings a solid 1200m record, plus a proven partnership with Olivia Kendal. SHELSTEIN (3) comes back from Saturday company at Eagle Farm, where he was third in a CL6 behind the handy Fukubana. His Doomben win two back as fav adds substance. TONNEOFGRIT (1) is also in the mix after missing by a long neck here over 1000m. Should relish the rise in trip and is another that can be fighting out the finish.

Has been safely held in two runs this preparation, finishing second last in a Class 4 over 1000m here after being unwanted in the market. The Toowoomba run before was no better, with a last placing in Benchmark 70 grade and no clear excuse in the straight. Needs a sharper finish before he appeals strongly.

Lifted sharply at Ipswich last start, finishing second to Gospel Girl and beaten just under a length after travelling well and looming to win on soft ground. She had been safely held in a Benchmark 72 at Doomben before that, but the latest run was a clear return to form. Looks a major chance with Olivia Kendal back aboard.

Dropped out to finish seventh in Saturday company at Doomben first-up, beaten over 13 lengths in a CG Benchmark 78 after jumping awkwardly, becoming unbalanced and racing wide throughout. Those excuses add some context, but the previous Toowoomba run was also a heavy defeat. Needs a clear turnaround despite the class relief.

Covered ground throughout when fifth to Bonded Affair over 1000m here last start, beaten five and a half lengths on soft ground, so the run is not as poor as the margin alone. The Doomben start prior in FM Benchmark 78 grade saw her lead before tiring late. The 1200m rise is the sticking point.

Steps up from country grade after running third in a Benchmark 82 at Lismore, beaten two lengths at generous odds after travelling well and fighting on. That was a better effort than her seventh here two back, where she was beaten eight and a half lengths in a Class 4 and never a winning hope. Needs another lift.

Was not disgraced when eighth in a Class 3 here first-up, beaten just over four lengths after beginning slowly and racing wide throughout, and he did finish ahead of Influential in that race. The June run at this track was weaker, with a seven-length sixth behind Zoufani. Track-and-trip record helps, but he needs to sharpen late.
