Coleraine Race 5 - Vickery Bros Mdn Hwt Plate
If AQUA STORM (1) can't get the job done here, you really do wonder where the elusive maiden win is going to come from. Performances to date are clearly superior to anything else in the race, it's just a matter of whether you can take a short quote about a horse who has proven a costly conveyance. Highlighting his hold on the race is that BACK OF THE BOAT (3) looks the main danger and he's yet to break through in 20 runs. Finds the right race to log another minor placing though. FLYING NIC (11) is a five-start maiden who finished 10th at her most recent appearance over 1200m at Ballarat Synthetic after she got a long way back in the run. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her. ATOMIC TOMMY (2) will be better for the first up run and can improve here. Similar story with KEEPY UPPY (7), who has the added advantage of a gun draw.

Dual acceptor. Most recently 2nd of 10 at Ballarat Synthetic Mdn-Sw on July 2 over 1200m, 0.5 len behind Blazing Brook carrying 59.5kg at $4. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 9 at Geelong Mdn-Sw on June 19 over 1425m, on a wet track; 5 len behind Zetheros carrying 59.5kg at $4. Can improve again. We've said it before, but this looks his race.
