Racing will return to the Sunshine Coast this Sunday afternoon, with an eight-race card set down for decision. The track was rated as a Heavy 8 at the time of acceptances, but with no rain forecast across the weekend, it is expected to improve into the Soft range. The rail will be in the +4m position for the entire circuit, with the opening race set to jump at 12:13pm AEST.
Best Bet at Sunshine Coast: Shot Of Whiskey
Shot Of Whiskey returned with an ultra-impressive win at Toowoomba over 1000m on July 6. The Steven O’Dea & Matthew Hoysted-trained gelding had 33 weeks off the racetrack before his first-up run, and he proved way too good for his rivals when leading from start to finish. This son of Spirit Of Boom steps up in grade slightly and finds another Soft track, so if he performs at a similar level, Shot Of Whiskey can record back-to-back victories.

#2 Shot Of Whiskey (5)

Next Best at Sunshine Coast: Smoke ‘N’ Oakum
Smoke ‘N’ Oakum comes into this off two good performances at Doomben and Eagle Farm to kick off his preparation. The Jack Bruce-trained galloper has placed in his last two runs over 1400m, and a drop back in distance to 1300m could prove pivotal to his chances. Although he has drawn a wide barrier (20), James Orman will push forward and take up the lead before Smoke ‘N’ Oakum gives a good kick at the top of the home straight.

Best Value at Sunshine Coast: Rubinova
Rubinova recorded an average fourth-place finish on debut at this track and trip before being sent out for six-month spell. The Steven O’Dea & Matthew Hoysted barn gave this three-year-old gelding a trial at Doomben, where he led from start to finish over 1000m and won by two lengths. From barrier four, Emily Lang can settle behind the speed and peel off the leader’s back at the 300m mark before Rubinova lets down with a strong finish.
Best Value
Race 1 – #4 Rubinova (4)
3yo Gelding | T: Steven O’Dea & Matthew Hoysted | J: Emily Lang (59.5kg)
