Sunshine Coast Poly Track Race 1 - Bold Construction Group Mdn Plate
ARCTIC BRIGHT (10) returns off a freshen-up after going down narrowly at Wyong and his recent form reads well for a race like this. The awkward draw is the main hurdle, but he still profiles as one of the key chances. CLENCH (2) resumed with a solid effort over 1400m at this track, sticking on well after racing on the speed. He should take natural improvement from that run and looks capable of finishing in the top four again. HARD KNOX (6) also returned in good order when runner-up over the same trip here and will strip fitter second-up. With even luck from the wide gate, he's right in the mix. PROBLEMATICAL (7) finished runner-up here fresh over 1000m, and the extra 400m is ideal second up. Each way.

Second-up. First-up after four months 5th of 9 at this track Mdn-Sw on May 1 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Weekend Artist with 58.5kg at $14. Previously second-up eased back early on 6th of 8 at Lismore Mdn-Sw on December 19 over 1526m, 5 len behind Herald Angel with 57kg at $8. Not helped by the wide draw but a better showing is expected second-up from the break.
