With the shake-up of the carnival, Caloundra holds the lead in to the main part of the carnival.
You have to love backing horses who thrive on one track, especially when it is their home base and in Baccarat Baby we have just that.
This mare is four from four at Sunshine Coast including the Guineas and Princess Stakes.
She loves the long stretches and this race sets up for her to camp around midfield and get into the clear on the corner.
You only have to go back to the Victorian efforts in the Spring to show she is just off the elite level.
Happy to be backing her to have too much dash.
Earlier in the program, A Man To Match goes around second up in a Class 6 Plate where there is a short favourite in Profit.
That horse hasn't been winning too often in recent times so hoping we can catch him on the hop.
A noted first up struggler, this Tony Gollan 4yo has contested multiple open grade races and was racing so well prior to the spell.
The big track and the mile are far different scenarios to a sprint coming from last around Doomben as the first up run was.
He can use the inside to save plenty of ground even if getting back in the field.
We can back him each way and be confident he'll be the strong one late.
