Race 1 — Ended Plate (C1) 2200m · jumps Fri 13 Nov, 6:38 pm AEDT

Race preview

Ended Plate (C1) at Sunshine Coast brings together a competitive field over 2200m on a good four surface under fine skies with a jump time of 6:38 pm AEDT. The win market order has Highland Kitty leading the betting lines, closely followed by Poutchek and Evade The Game, with Rafa right in contention next as they sort their positions out for this staying test. Looking at the form behind those shorter prices, Highland Kitty comes off a strong win at Ipswich over 2190m where it led and responded strongly in a small field, and with Jett Newman retaining the ride while claiming a two-kilogram concession, this runner shapes as a major player. Poutchek brings solid credentials too after showing plenty of ticker when finishing second over 1800m at this course, though stamina remains on trial stepping up in trip here.

Digging deeper into the race shape and alternate angles, the speed maps indicate that Crunch Time and Highland Kitty should look to dictate terms from their leader mapping positions. Evade The Game is another tracking from the midfield under Corey Sutherland for P P Jenkins, seeking to improve on a recent effort here over 2200m where it was thereabouts without quite finishing it off. Meanwhile, Rafa comes in fresh following a 61-day let-up and a strong win from off the pace at Dalby over 2000m, though it maps poorly on historical track metrics. With plenty of contrasting form lines and staying queries across the board, the bold play is to lean into the proven recent winner at the top of calculations while respecting the staying upside of those building fitness over middle distances.

AAP

Cleared maiden ranks at Toowoomba 3 Oct. Unable to make an impression on a soft deck at Coffs Harbour. Key player.

ILB

Started at $13.00 and looked flat when 4th last run at Coffs Harbour. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Has some claims.

Could not manage better than fourth over 1m2f at Coffs Harbour (conditions race) last Wednesday; has displayed improved form on last two starts; must be high on list given he won a maiden two runs back.

RSIS

Started at 12/1 and struggled when 4th last run at Coffs Harbour. Will be positive in the run early.

Last win was 28 Dec 2024. Up on the pace early and kept on courageously Hcp (C3) at Ipswich. Needs to lift again here.

ILB

Attacked the line when 2nd last time at Ipswich and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Has more weight to carry. Prefer in something weaker.

Was thereabouts (runner-up of nine, 18-1) in a handicap upped to this distance at Ipswich last month; generally struggled with a record of 1-20.

RSIS

Picked up late ground when 2nd last start at Ipswich and showing improvement in recent outings. Going up in weight.

Hasn't done much since breaking his maiden. Ordinary performance in small field at Gold Coast Poly. First real test of stamina here. Leaning towards others here.

Faded away to finish 6th last time at Gold Coast Poly and will have to carry extra weight.

Folded up in the straight when 6th last start at Gold Coast Poly and carrying more weight than last time.

There to threaten just couldn't quite finish it off this course. A few runs under her belt this campaign, right in the mix.

ILB

Was $7.50 and ran 5th last run at the track. Strong claims in this.

Far from disgraced (beaten just under 3l) here over 1m1f (handicap, not far behind Poutchek) last Tuesday; possesses winning form at this track.

RSIS

At 13/2 came in 5th last time at this track. Value selection.

AAP

Adept stayer. Led, responded strongly to score in small field at Ipswich. Jett Newman on again and receives a 2kg concession. Take a power of beating again.

ILB

Rocketed home when winning last time at Ipswich. Should jump out and bowl along. Displaying good ability this campaign. Has to be in the finish.

Has gone well here before and improved form the last twice; lost her maiden tag in a maiden at Ipswich last month when a 3l winner upped to this distance; looks likely to go well.

RSIS

Dashed home to win last start at Ipswich. Displays good tactical pace. In good condition since resuming from a break. Holds a major chance.

Prominent, showed plenty of ticker to just go under this course. Stamina on trial here. Rates highly.

Made considerable ground when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last start at this venue. Has every chance.

Close up second over 1m1f here (handicap) last Tuesday; achieved only a sole win.

RSIS

Made some ground late when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last run around here. Strong chance.

Let-up (61-days). Strong win from off the pace in the Mdn Plate at Dalby when drifting in the betting. Since trialled at Deagon 30 Oct. Capable of figuring again fresh.

ILB

First run back from a break. Charged home to win last run at Dalby and has a nice advantage with a good barrier. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Shown recent signs of improvement; had two of these in arrears when winning by three-quarters of a length at Dalby in September in a maiden; respected.

RSIS

Fresh after a break. Romped home to win last time at Dalby and drawn well. Finished 4th in a trial at Deagon on Oct 30th.

Record poor across numerous opportunities. Unable to make an impression in testing conditions at Eagle Farm. Usually gets back. Keener on others.

ILB

Odds of $21.00 and moderate showing when 6th last start at Eagle Farm but can find a nice position from the draw. Has not placed in 12 attempts this preparation. Very slim hope.

Poor form of late a cause for concern and winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at 13; finished last of six in a maiden at Eagle Farm last month; this looks a fair heat so others more likely.

RSIS

Started 20/1 and below par when 6th last start at Eagle Farm but drawn nicely. Struggling lately with no placings from 12 attempts.

Odds correct as at Fri 13 Nov, 6:40 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
