GOING: G(3)

CENTRAL HOTEL COOTAMUNDRA CUP 1600m

Track: Good 3   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Epaullo Creed taking charge. DUE CALZINI (5) returned to form with an easy Wagga win and has been kept fresh with a recent Goulburn trial. Drops back in trip but from the low draw he should press forward and prove tough to catch. COUNTY KILKENNY (2) doesn’t win often but excels at the trip. Freshened and back from city grade, he looks a big player if he brings his best. COPPERFIELD (1) is rock solid at this distance and rarely runs a bad race. Maps well and is right in the mix again. EPAULLO CREED (4) brings speed and ensures a genuine tempo. The mile is a query but he will give a sight. LAUREL HILL (3) has matching form lines and is one for exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Due Calzini to win.
