AU - Sunshine Coast Poly - Race 4

LUCONI (3) has the right blend of current form and race fitness after going under by only half a length in a BM68 on the course proper, where he was held up around the home turn and still fought out the finish. His record at the mile is solid and takes benefit from gun hoop Benny Thompson reuniting. ENTRUSTING (1) is the main danger, coming back from CL4 company after finishing a commendable fifth and having already shown he handles this distance range. The top weight is the slight reservation, but the apprentice claim helps. WAVERLEY (7) was sound first-up at Gold Coast after a slow beginning and has a win from three at this trip, so he can improve sharply second-up. ULTIMATE OUTCOME (4) has not won for a while, yet he is a previous winner at this track and the drop from recent CL4 and BM65 assignments keeps him in the mix.
