Cairns Race 8 - Coral Coast Catering (Bm55)
COPPABELLA ROAD (2) was beaten 1.4L this track/trip, and then ran his best race, beaten a long neck over 1000m at Townsville in stronger company. Winning rider Holt replaces the apprentice, and the well-bred gelding looks well placed to go one better. BAGGAGE HANDLER (1) led beaten 2L in the same contest, showing his best form since switching from a Victorian stable. Maps for the run of the race, and Wiggins goes on. Will race forward and can make the finish. HAPHAZARD (5) resumes and is speedy. Rates well enough off his Maiden win here two back and has scope for further improvement. Keep safe. AIRBORNE HOTDOG (7) led first up this track/trip and was beaten a whisker. Proven second-up and also runs along. He's in the mix as well.

Second-up. First-up after five months didn't finish the race at Townsville Cl3-Sw February 27 over 1000m. Previously second-up ran last of 12 at Townsville Bm60 on July 19 over 1000m, 7 len behind Exolent Choice carrying 56.5kg at $9.50. Others make more appeal.
