GOING: G

THE COASTY CUP HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo with Dynamic One and Bartime pressing for the lead. FAMEUX (7) proved too strong last start and scored by 1.3 lengths over 1200m at this track. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Beautifully placed to repeat the dose. GALAXY AFFAIR (1) made it two wins in succession last time out when he scored by 1.5 lengths over 1406m at Roebourne. Meeting a tougher field but on current form he is one of the key runners. DYNAMIC ONE (3) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with 3 lengths to spare over 1600m at this track. Rosie Mahony has been the pilot at his last two wins. One of the main contenders. BARTIME (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at Belmont Park, beaten 4.5 lengths into sixth. Suitably placed so can turn things around. ROYALZEL (4) was too good last time out and can go back-to-back without surprising. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fameux looks the one to beat again.

Form hard to fault. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.5 len at Roebourne Rtg 68+ May 24 over 1406m defeating Corn Cob with 64.5kg at $3.90. The run before that won by 1.75 len at this track Rtg 68+ May 9 over 1200m defeating Royalzel carrying 59kg at $3.90. Rates highly and should go well.

Racing well recently. At the latest run favourite; was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 0.7 len at this track Rtg 68+ May 31 over 1200m defeating Catalpa carrying 56.5kg at $2.80. The run before that eased back early on ran second last in a small field at Roebourne Rtg 68+ on May 24 over 1406m, 5.5 len behind Galaxy Affair carrying 57.5kg at $5. Rates highly on best form and is worth including.

Most recently did the work up front then tired 6th of 10 at Belmont Park Westspeed Heat on May 30 over 1200m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Mt Shirataku carrying 58kg at $9. The race before that ran second last of 16 at Ascot Grad Hcp 60+ on May 9 over 1400m, 7 len behind Mississippi Dawn carrying 57.5kg at $13. If he can get back to that fresh form then he rates as place chance.
