Sunshine Coast Race 3 - Total Veteran Healthcare Mdn Plate
CASTAWAY (2) has switched north and steps out in new colours. His Vic formlines are hardly encouraging but his two trials in readiness suggest he's come back in great order. Thompson's booking signals intent. The gelded KINGS DOMAIN (5) has stronger exposed maiden substance, including a close Pakenham fourth over the mile before failing at 2000m, and the fresh start for Trevor Thomas with a claim gives him a genuine reset. RISING QUEEN (11) has been safely held in two starts, yet the Chris Waller and Ryan Maloney combination gives her more upside than most if she improves second-up. AKIRA SAN (8) caught the eye here last time when closing off strongly into the placings and third-up fitness keeps her firmly in the mix, though the wide barrier will likely see her get back again. KING CHANCE (4) didn't fire a shot first-up but can improve with that run under his belt.

Returns from a lengthy spell with a recent Sunshine Coast Inner Track trial win to suggest he has come back in better order. His last two race runs in Victoria were well below what is required, including a last at Ararat behind Corro after leading, but he now joins Garnett Taylor and gets Ben Thompson. Past form is plain, but trials have been strong, and this isn't the deepest of maidens.

Worked home fairly for fourth over 1200m at Sunshine Coast last start, beaten just over two lengths after again being slow to begin. Two back he was checked early, settled back and still picked up nicely, so his recent efforts have more merit than the market gave him. The 1400m is the test, but he maps as a place hope.

Eases back from Eagle Farm mid-week grade after finishing second last over 1000m, where he was slow to begin and made no late impression at big odds. His previous Doomben third behind Crash The Party reads better, with several bumps and interference adding context to that effort. Back in easier grade, he can improve into the placings.

Returns from a lengthy spell having changed stable to Trevor Thomas, with Bella Youngberry's 1.5kg claim also in play. His last run at Pakenham over 2000m was poor with no clear excuse, but his 1600m fourth prior was a much stronger pointer when near the top of betting and beaten two and a half lengths. Strong chance if he returns cleanly.

Beaten as a short odds-on favourite at Warwick last start, though he did begin slowly, was steadied and covered ground before finishing fourth. He had also been well supported when third at Toowoomba two runs back, so the market has kept finding him without the result arriving. Michael Rodd helps, but he is still looking for a sharper finish.

Improved into second at Dalby last start, but the margin was still seven and a half lengths and he was at long odds, so the placing needs context. The Toowoomba run prior was a heavy defeat despite a late check, and this is a deeper assignment than those country efforts. Has to lift again from country form to be a serious threat.

Produced the strongest local last-start finish when second to Silent Answer at Sunshine Coast, beaten a length and a half after beginning slowly, settling well back and being held up near the 300m. That followed a solid fourth at Toowoomba where she again made late ground. Wide draw is the query, but she is a genuine place player.

Second-up after a Doomben seventh where she jumped awkwardly, copped a bump near 1300m and was beaten six and a half lengths by Kobability. The drop from mid-week grade is some help, and her Toowoomba fourth before the break was much better when beaten a length and a half. Her Toowoomba fourth gives some hope, but she must lift.

Second-up after finishing fifth at Dalby, where she was near the top of an open market but weakened out to be beaten over 11 lengths. Her run before that on the Pakenham Synthetic was also plain after a slow start, so recent form is thin. A 1400m placing gives minor hope only.

Lightly raced mare who brings the Chris Waller and Ryan Maloney profile into a modest maiden. She was beaten nine and a half lengths first-up at Kembla Grange after knuckling shortly after the start and giving away a big start, while her Newcastle debut had merit in leading until late. Improvement at 1400m puts her right in this.

Makes her debut for Robert Heathcote after two public trials, the latest a Doomben hit-out two weeks ago where she finished sixth over 1000m. The stable's debut record offers some encouragement and Archie McColm's 3kg claim is useful, but the trials have not provided a strong push. Stable can ready one, but the trial profile looks only fair.

Debuts from barrier one after three trials, the latest a Gold Coast second over 1000m, which gives him more public grounding than most first starters. The $40,000 yearling also comes from a stable with a good debut place rate, so there is enough to respect. Looks a realistic place hope first time out.
