GOING: S(7)

ROACHS HARDWARE COONABARABRAN CLASS 1 & MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: SOFT 7   Clear (Max: 13)   Rail: True.  

Pace sure to be on, Himeros and Stuck In The Gorge pushing forward, along with Minister Garrett. THINK I'M IN (14) missed the placings on debut two starts back then ran a better race when fifth over 1600m at Nowra. Will enjoy a drop in class and can find the winners' list. FREEDOM TO ROAM (6) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth over 1400m at Tamworth after she was prominent at the turn. Untried at this journey but strips fitter and can turn things around. NORTHERN EXPOSURE (10) is still a maiden after 11 starts but was placed at Narromine when resuming before finishing sixth at Dubbo last start. Definite each-way hope. LADY LILIBET (12) finished third last start over 1600m at Warren, beaten half a length. Will strip fitter this time. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Think I'm In looks set to get the job done from the low draw.
