Sunshine Coast
Verdict
FRENCH EMPIRE (3) has hit the frame in all three outings to date including two placings around this circuit and strikes a winnable contest here. Looks ready for the mile journey now and rates the testing material against this lot. Stablemate VICTORY FLAME (8) has placed two from two here and seems to be heading the right way. Only needs some luck from the wide draw to be featuring prominently. HANG OUT (5) didn't measure up in town last time out but will find this assignment much easier. Will be ready to peak third-up and can improve enough to trouble the judge. European import CHILLAXING (1) is having his first local run but trust Gollan has him forward enough first-up. Should be hitting the line with gusto. VANGUARD LEGEND (10) strips fitter second-up from the spell and gets in well at the weights with the claim. In the mix on best form.
