Sunshine Coast Race 6

Kirsty Patten 60 Not Out Hcp (C4)

Stake: $31,920

IONACELTIC (4) has hit a purple patch of form with three wins and two seconds from his past five outings and is racing with a lot of confidence of late. Is one from one over this course and distance and should be right there at the business end. The well-related KERKORIAN (7) (full to G2 winner Plenty Of Ammo) has won two from four over this course and distance and gets in light with the claim. Top-three candidate on best figures. RING BEARER (6) strips fitter third-up and is drawn to get a cosy run in transit from the inside marble. Can take this out. BIKER (8) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be dismissed lightly. SAVANNAH GANGSTER (5) will be ready to peak now and has to be included.

Last start 11th of 15 at this track Bm70 on November 22 over 1800m, 5.5 len behind Thinkhardandfast with 56kg at $51. The race before that held ground to the line 3rd of 8 at this track Bm65 on November 9 over 1800m, 4.5 len behind Kerkorian carrying 60kg at $6. Not likely to threaten.

Last start favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a long-neck at this track Bm65 November 30 over 1800m in soft going defeating Hell Of A Prince with 59kg at $2.35. The run before that favourite; came from midfield and won by 1.5 len at this track Bm60 November 4 over 1600m on a rain affected track defeating He'sgotthesay with 59kg at $7.50. One of the major players.

Last start made some head-way from midfield; 4th of 15 at this track Bm70 on November 22 over 1800m, 3 len behind Thinkhardandfast carrying 58.5kg at $71. Before that sat on the pace before fading 8th of 11 at Eagle Farm Cl3-Sw on November 8 over 1600m, 4 len behind Margot's Deel with 57kg at $101. Capable of sharp improvement.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up second last in a small field at Doomben Cl5 on October 29 over 1660m, slow going 2.5 len behind Galano with 54.5kg at $3.60. Last start got back early 9th of 15 at this track Bm70 on November 22 over 1800m, 5 len behind Thinkhardandfast with 58kg at $26. Rates highly on best form so he can turn things around.

At the latest run won by 0.5 len at Mackay Bm60 November 21 over 1800m defeating Cash Artist carrying 59.5kg at $3.30. The race before that ran last of 9 at Eagle Farm Bm78 on November 1 over 2406m, 12 len behind Counter carrying 54kg at $101. Looks hard to beat again despite tackling a better field this time.
