SUNSHINE HIGHWAY (9) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate her win at Sunshine Coast Poly at the beginning of last prep. Has switched to the Matthew Hoysted yard. One of the genuine hopes in the race. NEOCLASSICISM (2) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just three wins from 33 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 5¾f at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Placed to advantage and can make his presence felt. HAMILTON BROWN (6) is back after a break of six months. Looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. One to consider. PANGAEA (5) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at Gold Coast, beaten 5 lengths. Fitter so watch for a better performance.
