Verdict

BEEARETEE (7) capable on his day and unlucky not to have a few more wins on the CV. Tough effort with the 130lbs in the heavy (8) going to run fourth over 1m at Coffs Harbour. On the quick back-up and expected to go close. ARCHIE MAXIMUS (2) rewarded for his consistency third-up with a commanding Maiden win over 5 ?f at this track. Stretches out to this trip for the first time from the inside gate. Expected to go close. OUR SPARKY (10) win record hardly excites but looks to have come back in good order. Eye catching return when she savaged the line to finish third over 6 ¼f at Ballina. Has an okay record at this track and trip and looking for this distance now. AUSTRALASIA (3) turned in a decent effort from back in the field with a game second over 7f at Coffs Harbour in the heavy (8) going. Looks a good race for her from the low draw.
