Moruya Race 2

Monarch Hotel / Motel Moruya Plate (C1)

Prize Money: $16,000

OL' MATE COOP (8) expected to get off the mark here after finishing in the minor money at his last three starts. Went forward in the soft (7) going with a close-up head second over 1400m at Kembla Grange. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. GUNFIGHTER ROAD (4) was ridden positively and led throughout to score over 1400m at Nowra in Maiden grade last time out. Positive ride expected again and is right in this. SPLENDID MAGNUS (6) was in the money two starts back at Cowra but couldn't back it up last time when seventh over 1400m at Albury. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. CRUDO (7) is a four-start maiden who returned last time and finished fifth over 1400m at Kembla Grange. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come.

Most recently held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at Kembla Grange Cg&E Mdn-Sw on March 21 over 1400m, slow going head behind Coulter carrying 58.5kg at $3.50. Before that 3rd of 11 at Kembla Grange Prov Mdn-Sw on March 13 over 1400m, on a slow track; 0.7 len behind Cabbucio with 58.5kg at $5.50. Racing well on the provincial circuit and should prove too strong for these.
