Sunshine Coast Tips March 6

Access Insulation Sunshine Coast QTIS Three-Year-Old Handicap Tips (Race 1)

Sunshine Coast Best Bet - Race 1 No. 1 Ritualize

The son of Written By showed up well in his two starts last year, including a debut win at Doomben in April.

Racing over 1110m, the gelding won by a narrow margin after racing on the speed before getting the better of a next-start winner on that occasion.

The selection raced on a Heavy 9 surface that day and, with that in mind, he should have no issues with the underfoot conditions expected here.

Connections took their representative to Ipswich next time, where the gelding began awkwardly before finishing third on a Soft 5 track.

Ritualize tracked the leaders before losing out by just under three-and-a-half lengths in a race where the first two cleared out.

Sunshine Coast Roughie - Race 3 No. 7 Trofeo

The son of Maurice recorded some solid barrier trial efforts ahead of his racecourse debut at this venue last month.

That debut effort saw the gelding race behind the leaders before fading to finish sixth in a 1000m maiden held on a Good 4 surface.

Trofeo sat fourth for much of the contest; however, others proved stronger in the straight, with the gelding weakening after racing on the rail.

The form of that contest is working out well, with both the winner and the fifth-place finisher going on to salute next time.

The switch to a forecast heavy track is of note, with two of his three barrier trial efforts having come on wet surfaces.

Sunshine Coast Value Bet - Race 6 No. 12 Touchofclass

The New Zealand-bred mare ended her last preparation with a good third-place finish in an 1800m Benchmark 58 handicap in August.

Notably, that effort came on the mare’s first appearance on a heavy surface and, following a trial on the inner course here in January, she resumed at this venue later that month.

Connections dropped the selection back to 1200m for that first-up effort and she came close to doubling her career tally when beaten by a narrow margin.

The daughter of Ardrossan competed at Benchmark 0-58 level that day before finishing fourth in a Class 2 event over the same track and trip at the start of last month.

Touchofclass raced on good ground in both of those starts and, having been freshened since that latest effort, she now steps up in distance with Olivia Webb reuniting with the five-year-old.
