Coonabarabran Race 4 - Imperial Hotel Gateway To The Warrumbungles Hcp (C3)
ARDONAUGH (2) opened this prep with a couple of respectable runs in the 950-1000m range before finding a BM74 at Tamworth too rich last start. Rock hard fit and back in her right race today so she looks like being the testing material. CANAMBLE (3) led but was overwhelmed late in the piece in a BM66 over this distance at Scone most recently. Nick Heywood goes on in this slightly easier assignment. One of the better chances. PONTOON PRINCE (6) has struggled since winning his maiden at Parkes three back. Worth one more chance down in the weights. BOTTOM BAR (1) is the best credentialled runner and should make an impact despite being off the scene for ten months. Something for the Multiples: SMART 'N' RITZY (8)

Last start ran last of 8 at Tamworth Bm74 on July 4 over 1000m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Who Goes There with 55kg at $20. The race before that 4th of 11 at Tamworth Bm58 on June 16 over 1000m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind So Rosie carrying 61.5kg at $8.50. Is capable on her day and should be peaking for this.

At the latest run led to the turn then faded second last of 7 at Scone Bm66 on June 23 over 1000m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Pearls Treasure carrying 57kg at $14. The start before that 4th of 8 at Gosford Prov Bm64 on May 29 over 1000m, on rain affected going; 9 len behind Formal with 55kg at $10. Hard to beat if she brings her A-game.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up 5th of 7 at Quambone Pic Cl3t on May 10 over 800m, 4.5 len behind Joanneski with 62kg at $21. Last start 4th of 7 at Walgett Bm50 on June 14 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Invincible Faith carrying 55kg at $21. Low on confidence and hard to recommend.
