Gosford Race 6

The Sammy Coonan Memorial Race Plate (C1)

Prize Money: $42,000

The scratchings have narrowed this down to just three realistic hopes. CHEVAL GRIS (11) stepped up to a staying trip for the first time last start and relished the challenge, working home well for second at the end of 2200m at Newcastle. Still a maiden which is a concern but she looks to have found her niche. MEET ME IN BONDI (6) let down nicely but found one better last time out over 1600m at this track. Big step up in distance today but trust the in-form Bjorn Baker yard will have him ready. LEGEND OF KINGS (4) had a thirty-eight-day break before a solid third over 2200m at Newcastle recently, finishing just under a length behind CHEVAL GRIS. Will tighten right up following that run and can easily turn the tables. Hard to enthuse over the others. For trifecta and first four players, include COASTAL GROOVE (1) and PHAROAH'S CRYSTAL (12) whose most recent efforts were okay.

Last start faded in the straight 5th of 9 at Newcastle Cl1-Sw on April 12 over 2200m, 5 len behind Hampden carrying 59kg at $31. The run before that 4th of 8 at Newcastle Mid Cl1-Sw on March 20 over 1850m, 1.5 len behind Webejamin with 59kg at $31. Might sneak into the frame.
