Moruya Race 7 - Adelaide Hotel Showcase Super Mdn Plate
COCO DIOR (5) is the clear starting point after having excuses first-up at Illawarra Grange, where she was beaten just over two lengths after striking trouble in the straight. She's fitter for that effort and has plenty of upside and scope for improvement. JVO sticks and she can notch up her maiden victory. EXTREME COURAGE (2) was plain on paper at Kembla Grange but raced wide throughout, and his Wyong effort prior was solid enough to make him a genuine danger in this grade. Loy rides now and a forward showing is on the cards. CHEEKY SORT (4) was held up two back at Wyong, before a solid effort here last time out. Strips fitter third-up and the rise in trip looks to suit. Can feature. PONZI SCHEME (12) finds a suitable race now after a plain effort first-up at Kembla. Expecting him to be better for that run and can build on that performance. LINDOS (7) can resume on a positive note.

Improved marginally at Nowra last start, finishing seventh after settling rearward and making some late ground, but he was still beaten five and a half lengths at long odds. His Moruya debut was weaker, finishing last and beaten over 12 lengths on soft ground. Looking to others.

Lifted sharply at Illawarra Grange last start, running third and beaten half a length after sitting just behind the leaders at big odds. That came after a fourth at Hawkesbury where he led and was steadied late, so the recent pattern is trending the right way. Still a maiden, but recent improvement keeps him in the place mix.

Ran a sound third at Moruya last start over 1020m, travelling well behind the leaders before being beaten four lengths by Yamashita. She had genuine room issues at Wyong two back when held up near the 150m, and Shaun Guymer stays with a mare he has already placed on. Building nicely this time in work and can put it all together today.

Made a solid return at Illawarra Grange, finishing sixth but beaten just over two lengths after having difficulty getting clear approaching the 300m and being tightened late. She was second to Winning Rulet at Kembla Grange before the break and brings five placings from seven starts overall. Stuck on well fresh in a provincial maiden and looks well placed here with the run under her belt.

Went within a nose at Moruya last start after giving a strong sight and racing wide near the 600m. She had also placed here over 1020m two back on soft ground, so the local form is consistent, and the 2kg claim is useful. Honest local form gives her a strong place profile.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing last in a Class 1 at Queanbeyan, beaten over 16 lengths at big odds. Her previous Queanbeyan run was also plain, finishing tenth and beaten just over eight lengths when unwanted in the market. Trial adds fitness, but race form is hard to endorse.

Debuts with three trials behind him, including a narrow Moruya trial win over 920m a few weeks ago. He also trialled second at Sapphire Coast in May, so there is at least some public evidence before race day. Race experience is missing, but he has place appeal.

Eased from provincial grade after finishing eighth at Kembla Grange, where he was slow to begin and beaten nine lengths behind Fovea. That was below the level required, but his debut fifth in a 2yo Open at Wellington was more encouraging after he worked into the race before peaking late. Will find this a more suitable assignment and a much better performance is on the cards.

Had excuses on debut at Goulburn, racing wide throughout before finishing ninth and beaten just over five lengths at generous odds. She has since been supported by a solid second in a Nowra trial, and the gear change is noted as a positive. Improvement is possible, but the outside draw makes it tricky.

Debuts off a single Moruya trial from May, when second over 920m but beaten 6.30 lengths, so there is only limited recent evidence to assess. The pedigree has some winning depth through half-siblings Wild Irish and Pole Position, with Pole Position also a debut winner. Market watch, but others have firmer race evidence.
