Coffs Harbour Race 2 - Sawtell Nights Mdn Plate
CHARMED CHOICE (2) settled just off the pace then battled on fairly without threatening when fresh from a spell over 1200m at Murwillumbah last start. That was his first run since switching from Waller to Maryann Brosnan. Likely improver out to this more suitable journey. DANCING TILDA (3) backs up five days after a decent fourth in heavy going over 1400m at Taree. Filled a placing three back at his only try over today's distance. Going well enough to trouble this line-up. BEST EAGLE (1) led for the judge but couldn't keep going at his latest appearance over the mile at Rockhampton. Lightly raced gelding well served by coming back a touch in distance. PLAY IT COOL (5) has been in the money at two of three runs at Coffs, both on heavy tracks. Must be considered under today's conditions. COOK MY GOOSE (7) can improve second-up over a bit more ground.

Last start faded in the straight ran second last of 7 at Rockhampton Mdn on June 5 over 1600m, 5 len behind Argyle Gold with 60kg at $5. Before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 10 at Kilcoy Mdn-Sw on May 22 over 1500m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Send The Money with 58.5kg at $3.10. Very fit and is among the better hopes.

Dual acceptor. Second run back. First-up after five months 5th of 7 at Murwillumbah Cg&E Mdn on June 8 over 1200m, on a wet track; 4 len behind Devine Squire carrying 57kg at $41. Previously second-up ran second last of 7 at Doomben Mdn-Sw on January 14 over 2020m, 12 len behind Parat Sibifortunam carrying 57kg at $11. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time.

Last start 4th of 12 at Taree Ctry Mdn-Sw on June 23 over 1400m, on a wet track; 4 len behind Hillbilly Hippie carrying 59kg at $4.40. The run before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 10 at Grafton Ctry Mdn on June 6 over 1635m, slow going 5 len behind Amazigh Torque carrying 57kg at $9. In the right race to return to form.

Dual acceptor. Third race start. First start ran last of 7 at Lismore Ctry Mdn on November 10 over 1110m, slow going 9 len behind Copenhagen Cat carrying 57kg at $41. Returned from break ran last in a small field at Inverell Ctry Mdn on June 19 over 1200m, 6 len behind Spartan Steel with 56.5kg at $8.50. Better for that experience and should improve.
