Comments: 3/4 yesterday including a double system selection has snuck us in front for the month and we can't finish behind if today's all lose so the win-loss monthly sequence will be maintained, albeit narrowly. Port Lincoln 5-4 Canophyta hasn't won since this time last year but is always thereabouts and generally goes well 2nd up. Looks very well weighted and I'll be taking her blanc in the quaddie. Sunshine Coast 4-1 Fasliyev Dancer won by from here to over the road two starts back and then managed to get beaten as a $1.50 favourite in town when never actually looking likely to win in spite of the fact she ran 3rd. Horses that perform well on these synthetic tracks seem to have a big advantage so I expect her to repeat her run from two starts back and lead all of the way. Sunshine Coast 5-1 Awaroa looks a put-in-take-out job here. After taking three runs to work out what the heck racing is all about he's flogged them at his past two here. It would be a surprise if he got beaten.
