Gold Coast   13 Aug 2022
 
GOING: S

Conxion Hcp (C1) 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 4m 950m-400m; Out 2m Remainder. (Pent: 5.12).  

Cosmo Kramer can set a decent tempo from the rail. CAPITAL MISS (4) resumes for a top local barn and was last seen just beaten at Ipswich as favourite in stronger than this. She's looked tuned-up at the trials and Fradd will give her every chance from the low barrier. UNCLE BUD (3) has been threatening since the Toowoomba Maiden win. Is holding his form and can make the finish again. COSMO KRAMER (2) will use the rail and brings decent efforts to peak. Wiggins goes on and that's a push for his chances. ROCKIN' ARTIE (5) hasn't won for a long while but the two starts back have been promising and he'd be good enough finding his best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Capital Miss.
