AU - Sunshine Coast - Race 5

RITUALIZE (2) showed plenty of early pace when resuming and fought on well to finish third by under a length in a 4-horse field over 6f here on a heavy track. A firmer surface, and the drop back to 5f will suit him, and with any luck from a wide gate, he can take this out. IMPACT ZONE (4) was well supported first-up at Doomben just over 3 weeks ago, but he could only manage sixth over 5 ½f. His only win came second up, and he can figure in the top 3 this time. MINOR KEY (5) closed strongly to get within nearly a length of the winner over 5f at the Gold Coast 15 days ago, and while he tends to drift back, he would only need a genuine tempo to be set here for him to get over the top of them late. Include in all combinations. BOX OFFICE (3) resumes for a new stable after relocating from country NSW where he had 3 starts for mixed results. He won a recent Toowoomba trial very easily, and any positive market leads will be well worth following in.
