Taree Race 11 - Ladbrokes Mid North Coast Cup Heat 5 H
GLORIA KEEPING (2) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (30.16) at Wentworth Park. One of the contenders. OCCULENT (1) jumps from box 1 for the first time after scoring at The Gardens (22.78) in a Grade 5. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Good beginner assisted by the inside draw. Expected to feature again. GRANT KEEPING (3) is a promising type who notched his 9th career success when too good (29.65) at Dubbo last time. Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. FIRETHORN (8) was below best last time at Wentworth Park (42.48) in a NG, finishing a 11 length eighth. Has already won four times from this draw.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Richmond over 622m. Last start finished 3rd over 520m at Wentworth Park beaten 6 lengths (30.16) behind Cawbourne Ozzy in a Grade 5 on August 22. Broke a five-start winning streak with the placing last time. Can bounce back.

Could only manage eighth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (34.84) over 600m at Q Parklands. Has to overcome a wide draw but is worth plenty of thought.
