Verdict

FLYING SHELLY (1) scored over 6f here first-up then struggled at Doomben last start in a much better race than this. Placed at three of five runs over today's trip. Finds a pretty plain BM58 and she looks a big chance to return to the winner's list. OLUFSEN (2) raced handy but couldn't quite finish his race off over 5 ¼f at Inverell last time out. Backs up nine days later over a slightly shorter trip which will suit. Should give a good account. SHE'S A WILD ONE (12) went close two back over a similar trip to this in heavy going at Port Macquarie. Disappointed most recently at Moree but a return to form is likely in this moderate affair. BRAZEN BRANDO (3) lines up for the 104th time. Racing very well on heavy tracks of late. Boasts a fine record over many seasons at this trip so he looks a solid each-way contender. LORD SEYMOUR (4) has performed well at both trips to Coffs Harbour this prep. One of the better hopes with the help of an inside draw.
