Quick Analysis:

Liked what she did at this track on debut in April last year. She couldn’t get going next time up and went for a spell. Returned for a short prep in September before being sent to the paddock again. Looking more recently, her effort a couple of weeks ago was good and she ran the fastest last 200m in a 1,200m BM58.

Coffs Harbour - Race 6, 3:10 PM

Top Pick: 

1. Ocean Alps 

Recommended Bet Type:

Win

Best Odds Available:

$2.75 with PlayUp

Quick Analysis:

Suffered the narrowest of defeats at Casino and has been back at the trials since. She seems to be building nicely and has been going toe-to-toe with some quality horses (including Floozie who looks out a Group 2). She should be the favourite for this one and the odds around $2.60 seem about right. 

Coffs Harbour - Race 7, 3:50 PM

Top Pick: 

3. Talana

Recommended Bet Type:

Win

Best Odds Available:

$4.00 with PlayUp

Quick Analysis:

Should be one of the more favoured runners in the race, but with odds around the $4.00 mark, there’s still a bit of value in him. He should be well placed against this field and has a decent enough record on Heavy tracks. He’ll have to carry one of the heavier weights but has fitness and form on his side.

Stats to Watch Today

  • True Fairy has placed on rain-affected ground in 3 of her last 4 runs on Heavy or Soft-rated tracks, gets her preferred conditions in Race 7 at Coffs Harbour and drops in class after Group 1 attempts.
  • The Autumn Belle clocked the fastest last 200m on May 6 at Bendigo. She’s third-up today where she’s a proven winner at track and trip; blinkers go back on in Race 10 at Geelong.
  • Navy Nina resumes after beating dual Group winner The Astrologist on June 5. Looks well placed in Race 5 at Geelong.
