The $50,000 Noosa Cup will headline proceedings at the Sunshine Coast this Sunday afternoon. Due to heavy rainfall during the week, the seven-race meeting will be held on the synthetic track. The rail will be in its true position for the entire circuit, with racing scheduled to kick off at 12:54pm AEST.
Noosa Cup tip: Menazzi
Menazzi finished as strongly as any of his rivals to run third over the Sunny Coast 1200m first-up, beaten 1.9 lengths by Vetta Velocita. This son of Pride Of Dubai will meet the two runners that beat him last start; however, the rise in trip to 1400m second-up will suit him best. With the aid of Cody Collis’ 1.5kg claim, Menazzi can push forward from barrier 10 and find the gun run behind the speed.

Best Bet at Sunshine Coast: Artzino
Artzino was slow to get going on the Gold Coast Polytrack on August 3, but he finished off strongly to run third over 1540m. The son of Tarzino showed a liking for the synthetic track, and now that he steps up to 1600m, he will get conditions to suit. If Damien Thornton can get him to jump well and settle midfield, Artzino can record his first win for the Jack Bruce stable.
Best Bet
Race 5 – #2 Artzino (11)

Next Best at Sunshine Coast: Ashfall
Ashfall hit the line hard to finish second behind Singer Sargent over the Sunshine Coast 1800m last start, indicating a rise in trip to 2150m will suit him perfectly. Bailey Wheeler sticks aboard for the four-year-old gelding’s first run on the synthetic, and if he can settle in the middle of the pack off the fence, Ashfall’s turn of foot will give him every chance to break through for a deserved win.
