COFFEE ON HIGH SHOWCASE SUPER MAIDEN HANDICAP 1512m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: +4m Entire.  

Viva La Juicy may well find the front is a race devoid of early speed. NOT MY PROBLEM (1) encouraging return for her second prep when chipping away late to secure fifth over 1400m at Gunnedah. Will keep improving as she rises in trip and Aaron Bullock rides. Hard to stop. CLEVER ILLUSION (8) on the quick back up again after failing to get into the contest when eighth over 1630m at Grafton on June 9. Gets further weight relief and assess on his good minor placing two back. I ALONE (4) best performance in five career runs when a plugging third over 1400m at Taree. Grima sticks and shouldn't have a problem running the trip. ADELINA FALLS (5) winkers go on at her third career start after proving no match for Whispering Rupert over 1200m in a Super Maiden at Gosford. This looks much easier. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,8,4.5.
