GOING: S(5)

CENTRAL COAST COOLROOMS HANDICAP 2100m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Stylebender and Cormac T look to bowl along in front. LUNAR LOVER (7) has competed over 2400m at his last three and reverts to a middle distance today. Ran below his best when well supported at Rosehill last time but brought commanding form to that. Maps for a soft run and Zac Lloyd is a positive rider engagement. He will run it right out and gets the nod. CORMAC T (5) is proven third-up and should be ready to show his best. Didn't fire at Rosehill last time stepping up quickly to 2000m and has trialled since. Has the ability and will get every chance. GOLDEN CENTURY (1) resumed over 2000m at Randwick 18-days ago in stronger grade and settled rearward from a wide barrier. Proved difficult to fully test in the home straight and has been back to the trials since. JMac stays aboard and sharp improvement is on the cards. STYLEBENDER (4) is free running and won by a space at Warwick Farm over this distance. Led all the way this grade over 2400m at Rosehill following. Uses the low gate and the 3kg claim brings him right into it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Lunar Lover.
