Preview, Tips and Best Bets for Sunshine Coast Sunday, September 18

Local trainers target these Sunday meetings. The big track gives all horses their chance. Husson's revenge is the best bet in Race 5 No 2.

DIRECTIVE (Race 7 No 2) is the best bet for Sunday, September 18th.

NIPPA'S NIGHTCAP (4) is on the improve. Jim Orman is the trainer's ‘go-to’ man. Heronic Instinct (10) was runner-up at Toowoomba last start. Michael Cahill could control proceedings. Stuart Kendrick can't be ignored on his home track.

Cecil Street Lad (1) can bounce back from a tough race last time. Sip It Slow (4) has been freshened after a failing in a Saturday No Metro Win over 1200m last start. Hard Reyava (3) only two wins have come when first-up. Me Mum's Foxy (6) is cheeky and can run a cheekily race in the field without depth.

David Vandyke and Ryan Maloney are the favourites for the Sunday race. ON HOLD (6) has finally drawn a gate and she has been entered and scratched on numerous occasions. Steve Tregea has taken over the training of LATIN LYRIC (2) and he will get all the favours from gate two with Michael Cahill.

He's the King (2) has been gelded and shown more enthusiasm at his recent trials. Natalie McCall's horses go best in this race. FLAWLESS AMBITION ( 2) will have been readied by jumpouts. Jim Orman doesn't take rides on spec. HOBSY (13) drops 2kg and is poorly drawn. Zhuan Shsi (12) is a sprinter's pedigree.

Husson's Revenge (2) is the one to beat in Benchmark 62 Handicap 1200m on Sunday, September 18. Louie Tarrant can have Maxie Tap (3) in the finish. Lady Rain (12) backed up her Maiden win with a solid effort to place behind some smart ones at Ipswich.

BEAN A WHILE (7) is overdue but she finished just out of the placings behind some handy ones last start. BEAN WHISPER (6) will be improved off her first up win and drops 2kg. ABSOLUTE CHARMER (3) got a long way back when resuming but made some ground late. The STIFMEISTER (1) has been disappointing but he will get every chance from gate one.

DIASONIC (2) is expected to win the Benchmark 62 Handicap 1600m. Mark THE HORSE (3) will enjoy the return to Sunday grade. SHOPPING ESPRIT (4) has upside but rises 2kg. KIPPAX (5) was unsighted in the Gold Coast Cup but has been freshened and is more suited to this track.

Adam Campton has been getting results and DEEPOUR (2) is resuming after a long break. KINDLING SPIRIT (7) finds it hard to win but has finished top four at each of her six outings this preparation. NOT ANOTHER (8) wasn't far away on the poly over 1100m last start. Jim Orman replaces Ben Thompson and she will be with the front-runners again.RALPHIE (15) went too hard with blinkers last time and Gary Doughty has taken them off. Sean Cormack will have him on speed throughout.
