Oscar Zulu and East Asia have clearly been the two best backed runners with Sportsbet.com.au for the Sunshine Coast Cup (1400m) this afternoon.

The Chris Waller trained Oscar Zulu was far from disgraced on Magic Millions Day and looks well placed at this level. East Asia should eat up the 1400m and the bigger track so no surprise to see them both firm. Oscar Zulu is $9.50 into $4.80 while East Asia is $8 into $5.

Favourite for the race is local hope Desert Lord, who resumes for David Vandyke. He has been quite easy in betting, out to $4.50 after opening $3.60.
