COOLGARDIE TYRE SERVICE COOLGARDIE CUP 1760m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

A solid tempo is anticipated with Ginger Baker and Sentimental Hero kicking up to hold out the next wave. The Coolgardie Cup now where SENTIMENTAL HERO (3) goes on top after a sound first-up effort at Belmont. He'll be better for that run and boasts a strong second-up record where he's never missed the placings. This looks to set up beautifully for him on his home track and a return to winning ways is on the cards. GINGER BAKER (1) comes through the Listed Idyllic Prince however where he was very game up front when right back in trip. He was off a freshen there, but is better suited over this trip today and Parnham reunites. Can take up the running again and prove hard to mow down. FEUDING (7) is hard to knock on recent form and wasn't beaten far here a fortnight ago. The draw is sticky, but he's a consistent gelding who has is not to be discounted down in the weights. DECORATION (6) was too good last start when beating IT'S A LANCE (8) and they both have claims on the back of that performance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Sentimental Hero.
