Lismore Race 1 - Basec Engineering Country Boosted Showcase Mdn Hcp
PLAY IT COOL (5) has had plenty of chances but does look close to an elusive win after charging home late to be beaten under a length over 1618m at Coffs Harbour last start. Beautifully weighted under today's scale and is drawn to enjoy an economical run. SO SAIN (6) is also a long-term maiden but is racing well with three consecutive minor placings, the latest when stretched to 1700m at Grafton. In the money at both tries over this distance. Should be in the finish again. SARMAT (2) settled a long way back before making late ground to finish fourth when resuming over 1200m at Grafton recently. Has only raced twice so there is plenty of improvement in store, particularly out to this sort of trip. AIRHAWK (1) has been strong through the line in his two starts to date, both over shorter journeys. Gets his chance to shine at this more suitable trip. PRESTIGE EXOTIC (8) is another lightly raced conveyance who can improve with a step up in distance today.

Racing well recently. Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 in a Ctry Mdn-Sw at Grafton on September 7 over 1700m, 1.4 len behind Latin Lights carrying 57kg at $6.50. The race before that 2nd of 9 in a Mdn-Sw at Grafton on August 29 over 1410m, on a slow track; head behind Divine Mandate carrying 55kg at $4.40. Going well and is one of the leading chances.

Second-up. First-up after eight months got back early 9th of 12 in a Ctry Mdn-Sw at Grafton on September 21 over 1015m, slow going 7 len behind Brief Authority with 59kg at $101. Previously second-up 5th of 9 in a Ctry Mdn at this track on December 19 over 1310m, 5 len behind Artie Lady with 57kg at $81. Should appreciate the step up in trip for this but others still preferred.
