Queensland metropolitan racing continues on Sunday with a nine-race program at the Sunshine Coast Turf Club. The track is currently rated a Good 4 but there is rain around on the forecast for Saturday and Sunday, so we may find ourselves in the Soft range by the jump of the first race at 1:16pm AEST. The rail will stay in the 3m position for the entire course, after being in the same position for racing on Wednesday.
Best Bet: Tranquil Bay
Our best bet of the day comes up in race seven where we will be siding with Tranquil Bay from the Robert Heathcote yard. After returning from a six month spell last week at this track, this four-year-old mare was hampered just about all the way down the straight and still ran second, going down by half a length first-up. Considering this daughter of Cable Bay has never won first-up, it was a good sign to see her run well with some more improvement to made going into her second-up run here. Ben Thompson will take the ride on this girl after piloting in her trial back on August 30. If Thompson can have this mare midfield and tracking wide around the bend, we should be seeing this girl record her second win at start 12.

Next Best Bet: Wolf Moon
The Billy Healey-trained Wolf Moon will be our top tip and next best bet in the $50,000 Noosa Cup over 1400m. This five-year-old gelding returned from a six month spell at Doomben on September 14 for a fifth of seven carrying 60kg, which seemed to be a fitness run first-up. Considering his first-up form isn’t that great, we can easily move on to the second-up run here. Now that this son of Wandjina is second-up, it is time to bet. Wolf Moon has a 100% win rate second-up with two wins from two starts, therefore, we are going to be backing him here and hoping that the second-up record goes to three from three.

Best Value Bet: Singer Sargent
In the second race of the day we have sided with a first starter from the Kacy Fogden yard, Singer Sargent in a 1200m Maiden Handicap. This three-year-old gelding has had two trials on Soft ground, where he has been very impressive without being asked to do a whole lot. The son of Speith looks a ready racehorse, with a great turn of foot and has a will to find the finish line first. If this guy can settle midfield from barrier six and get out wide on the bend, he will relish the 1200m and will be finishing very strong late, hopefully taking care of his maiden quickly.

#11 Singer Sargent (6)
