KEADY FAMILY COONAMBLE SHOWCASE CRYSTAL SPRINT 1200m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 31)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Stratified to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. TAINUI (8) returned from a spell last start and almost made an immediate impact, edged out in a BM82 over this distance at Tamworth. Ultra-reliable sprinter who only needs to hold that performance level to be right in the finish. MYSTERY LAD (1) led all the way and just held Tainui at bay when they clashed at Tamworth recently. Quality country sprinter with outstanding 1200m stats. Has a wide gate and a big weight but still poses the greatest threat. RUNNING BEAR (5) was too bad to be true at Dubbo last start. Best figures measure up favourably in this company so at decent odds he is worth another chance. STRATIFIED (7) is not a noted first-up performer so his tiring effort when resuming at Dubbo can be overlooked. Nock has won three from five aboard the gelding and he reunites. Likely improver. SMART AND DAPPER (10) is up in grade but at the weights from the inside stall is worth plenty of thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tainui to win.

The race before that 4th of 9 at Tamworth Bm82 on September 8 over 1000m, slow going 4 len behind Speck carrying 61kg at $7. Will prove very tough to beat now that he has struck form.

Still early in the prep and might need more time.
