Verdict

SUNNYCOAST (1) was last at the races when he finished second over 5 ½f at Doomben on December 6. This is much easier and expect him to play a major role. FAST FUSION (10) finished sixth over 5 ½f at Ipswich at his most recent appearance on November 20. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. MR TANGLES (4) ran below expectations last time at Gladstone over 5f, finishing fourth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Has a solid record at this circuit and has strong claims on his best form. RUBUNKAR (7) turned in another moderate effort last start when 5.5 lengths from the winner in seventh over 5 ½f at Mackay. Capable of featuring prominently.
