Coffs Harbour Race 1 - Tab Venue Mode Mdn Plate
The Waller-trained UNIQUELY FAMOUS (6) tackled a stronger maiden first-up over 1350m at Ipswich three weeks ago and was never in contention. More at home over this sort of trip and there is far less depth to this field. Watch for a much better run. Stablemate BOMB PERIGNON (7) has been freshened up since a career-best performance over 1666m at Ipswich on 4 May, beaten just over a length after racing up on the pace throughout. Meets an inferior field today so if he handles the going this looks a big breakthrough opportunity. FRICTIONAL FORCE (4) returned a good figure three back when in the money over 1720m at Grafton. Recent efforts have been sub-standard but if on-song he is right up to this. PLAY IT COOL (5) ran second on a heavy track at this track two back - in the mix with a return to sloppy conditions. COLORADO TYCOON (3) battled on well to finish runner-up on a heavy deck at Port Macquarie last time out. Must be considered in similar circumstances this afternoon.

Second run back. First-up after five months eased back early on 7th of 9 at Ipswich 3yo Mdn-Sw on May 13 over 1350m, slow going 5 len behind Sheza's Destiny carrying 58kg at $14. Previously second-up 5th of 11 at Ipswich 3yo Mdn-Sw on December 3 over 1350m, 5 len behind Toby's Trusty with 58kg at $12. Plenty of improvement to come out to this more suitable journey.

Comes here off a 30-day let-up. At the latest run raced on the pace when 2nd of 12 at Ipswich Mdn on May 4 over 1666m, on a slow track; 1.1 len behind Van Ghost with 54.5kg at $6.50. The start before that sat on the speed throughout before fading 8th of 10 at Doomben Mdn-Sw on April 22 over 1650m, 7 len behind Crypto Magic carrying 55.5kg at $14. Can improve again. Far better effort last start and is right in this.
