Timeform on Initialize

Timeform pick out three bets from the Sunshine Coast on Sunday...

#6 Initialize - Sunshine Coast R6 (06:50 BST)

Initialize is hard to fault. She went down narrowly when runner-up to Voila here most recently, but has a senior rider back aboard now and her win two starts ago contained plenty of merit. Royal Hale looked in need of the run first-up at Doomben and is entitled to strip fitter, while Villeneuve Lady with the lightweight has to be feared.

#6 Coco Fashion - Sunshine Coast R7 (07:30 BST)

Coco Fashion wasn't beaten far behind Run For Glory here most recently and looks to be coming to the boil nicely. Concave resumes from a break and this is his level, so has to be respected, while Thumbs Up improved into the placings here most recently and is weighted to go well also.

#14 Able Mabel - Sunshine Coast R8 (08:10 BST)

Able Mabel resumes from a spell on the sidelines but was in good form when winning at Doomben two months ago and that form has been boosted since. Niewand has the form to figure, while Uncle Frank is lightly-raced and both of his wins have come over this trip.
