Coffs Harbour Race 5 - Lest We Forget Plate (C1)
CRATHIE KIRK (10) went close first-up, heavily bet, and the money came again at Newcastle, following where she was beaten a head over 1500m. She is still shy of her best number and back in country grade she rates to have them covered. CERTIFY (5) won a Gold Coast Maiden over 1700m first-up as a $2.2F. Proven second-up, and he also has plenty of scope for improvement. With average luck from the awkward gate, he should be right in it. HIGHWIRE GIRL (11) led into the straight beaten 1.75 lengths over 1420m at Grafton, second-up. She will be fitter and led beaten a whisker there over 1600m before the spell. Fitter again and JVO will give her every chance. DIVINE EFFORT (2) raced forward and won her Maiden in good style over 1700m at Grafton. She will use the inside gate and keeps the handy 2kg claim. This is a step up, but she has a future.
