WINNO'S WINNERS: SUNSHINE COAST, JULY 5, 2025

By Darren Winningham | Friday, July 4, 2025

SUNSHINE COAST this week – nine races with the track rated ‘Soft’ and with the rail is in the true position for the entire circuit. I suppose the traffic is always the concern getting here – so leave early just in case!

Ash Morgan ... the Sunshine Coast has been kind to him before. It could be again. He rides my selection Millie De Lune in the Winx Guineas (see race 6)

Angela Jones ... she ride Sunset Dreaming in the Glasshouse Handicap (see race 7) and Bear On The Loose in the Caloundra Cup (see race 8). I'm tipping she is looking at a race-to-race feature double. She also rides Lucky Lass in the Bruce McLachlan Classic (see race 3)
