GOING: F

CORAL COAST VETERINARY HOSPITAL HANDICAP 1600m

Track:     Rail: True.  

Expecting The Coolakin King to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. THE COOLAKIN KING (3) steps up to the mile for the first time which doesn't look an issue after an impressive last-start win from the front. Expecting Webster to take up a similar role from a handy gate and he'll be very hard to run down if he sees out the mile journey. NEVER SOBER (6) has been racing at Kalgoorlie recently and he may find this a little easier than recent efforts. Now with the Zach Tyler stable, the figures he's turned in recently in defeat suggest he's not far off the mark. Yuill replaces the apprentice hoop and he can be in the finish. IRONCLAD BOY (2) sustained an effort to run away with an easy win over this course and distance last time out, scoring by 2L as the race favourite. This is tougher, but this shapes nicely for him and there's no reason why he can't go back-to-back. DARK MIST (8) will appreciate the easier race today and can bounce back to form. CHUCK A LUCK (7) drops right back in trip today but has claims on his recent figures. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Coolakin King can win again.
