Verdict

MIKI'S COURAGE (4) was in the money two runs ago then went well again last time over 1 ?m at Addington, finishing 4 metres from the winner in third. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. QUICKER THAN QUICK (7) scored at Geraldine two runs ago before having his colours lowered when second at his latest appearance over 1 ?m at Addington, beaten 1.4 metres. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Finds a nice race and can find winning form. HENRY WINKLER (8) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at Mt Harding over 1 ½m. THE COALMAN (2) has drawn to advantage and should give backers a great sight.
