BETTORS WISH STANDING AT COBBITTY EQUINE FARM PACE 2300m

Track: FAST      

MIRACULOUS (8) ex NZ trained gelding who ran fifth last start at Central Southland Raceway over 2400m, beaten 16 metres. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Now trained by Jason Grimson and is expected to go a bold race FORCE FULL (10) was a neck away in second at this track over 1609m last start at his first run back from a spell. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. DONEGAL LUTHER (7) is on the radar after his last-start sixth of 10 over 1609m at this track two weeks ago when well supported. Worth another chance. MAURLEN BOY (4) should not have any excuses from the favourable draw and is a must include in exotic bets.
