La Pulga is seeking a hat-trick of wins when he steps out at the Sunshine Coast this afternoon and looks tough to beat again. Michael Costa has really got this bloke going this time – it did take him a couple to tune up but wins at the Gold Coast and Ipswich have more than underlined the fact that he has found peak condition. He’s rock-hard fit and ready to go.
Good Humour hasn’t been seen at the races since May, but she is a classy type and can make a winning return on the Sunshine Coast today. The Squamosa filly won each of her first two starts when debuting in February and finished her debut prep in Group 2 company, albeit a lacklustre effort. She clearly goes well fresh and will take beating.
Memes will have her first start for Michael Costa on the Sunshine Coast today and on her previous form, can win this handicap. The Time Thief mare has returned many quality performances in races far harder than this one throughout her racing career, and she performed extremely well in a Beaudesert barrier trial in the lead-up to this race.
Great Keppell has returned to the track in typically pleasing form this time and will take beating fourth-up at the Sunshine Coast today. The Toby Edmonds-trained gelding hit the line well to finish second at his first two starts when resuming, before recording a well-earned win at Doomben last time out. This looks an easier task and he can make it two in a row.
