Coonabarabran tips and results

Our price $3.50 · SP $2.10 · Juliet Partridge

Euphoric Miss is on the up, finishing a close second on heavy ground at Gulgong last start. She drops to 51kg and maps to be on the pace from an inside gate.

Our price $2.80 · SP $2.50 · Donovan Dillon

Villainess presents as the most reliable winning chance despite being winless. The gear changes (blinkers off, cross-over nose band off) suggest stable confidence in her natural ability. Barrier 5 positions her perfectly for a forward, ground-saving trip on this tight circuit. The Ruddy/Dillon combination is 1-from-1, and while the sample is tiny, it adds confidence. Her consistency and proven wet-track form outweigh the lack of a win.

Our price $4.20 · SP $4.60 · Ben Looker

The inside barrier is a significant structural advantage on this tight, wet circuit, and the tongue tie addition suggests the stable believes there's improvement to come. Dropping from Scone metro level to Coonabarabran country maiden represents a class drop. The Ruddy stable's confidence in running two here is notable. While inexperienced, the combination of inside draw, gear change, and proven Heavy track exposure makes her a genuine threat.

Our price $7.50 · SP $11.00 · Mikayla Weir

By Linda brings the most extensive Heavy track experience in the field (3 runs) and a solid Soft track record (5:0-1-2), making her well-suited to today's Heavy 9 conditions. Her recent 5th on Heavy 8 wasn't brilliant but demonstrates capability. Jockey Mikayla Weir is riding exceptionally well (20% strike rate, 40% place rate recently), which adds significant value. However, 0 wins from 15 starts is a major concern—she's proven she can place but struggles to win. The barrier and jockey form make her a place chance rather than a winning proposition.

Our price $35.00 · SP $21.00 · Izzy Neale

With 1 win and 1 placing from 4 Heavy starts (25% win rate), he has the best wet track form in the field. His recent Heavy 9 run provides fitness, and the lightweight 53.5kg with in-form jockey Neale is a positive. However, barrier 10 on this tight track is a significant obstacle, and his overall form is poor.

Our price $6.00 · SP $61.00 · Jeff Kehoe

On Me is the standout heavy track performer in this field, having won on Heavy8 at Gulgong over 1400m last start. He steps up to 1600m for the first time but his pedigree suggests he'll stay. The fast tempo from several leaders will suit his finishing style.

Our price $5.00 · SP $5.00 · Jake Pracey-Holmes

Lady Lilibet comes off a solid close third at Warren over 1600m on soft ground. She has placed at this distance and her trainer Kody Nestor has a strong record at Coonabarabran. Jake Pracey-Holmes is in good form. Wide barrier is a concern on heavy, but if she can settle midfield, she should be competitive late. Each-way appeal.

Our price $5.00 · SP $9.00 · Serg Lisnyy

Think I'm In has shown promise in his two starts, finishing 5th on Heavy9 over 1600m at Nowra in his most recent run. He steps up third-up and should benefit from the experience. Drawn well in barrier 4, he can position on-pace or midfield and be a factor.

Our price $5.50 · SP $3.20 · Anna Weatherlake

Bill Peyto represents strong each-way value dropping sharply from BM66 to BM50. The 8yo gelding won at this exact class and distance at Dubbo in April, and his overall 1600m record (7-5-4 from 38 starts) is excellent. The significant class drop combined with a favourable barrier (3) and light weight (55kg) positions him well. His Soft track record is solid (2-4-10), though Heavy track form is a concern (0-2-0 from 11 starts). However, the previous Coonabarabran placing (2nd) and proven ability at the distance suggest he can overcome the Heavy 9 surface. The Weatherlake/Clement combination won together last start, adding confidence.

Our price $9.00 · SP $8.50 · Jake Pracey-Holmes

The 4yo mare is lightly raced (6 starts) and won her maiden on Soft 6, suggesting wet track ability. Her last-start 4th at Class 1 (Soft 7, 1280m) showed improvement, and the step up to 1600m may suit her Territories pedigree. The inside barrier is crucial on this tight track and gives her every chance to settle handy. However, significant concerns exist: no form at 1600m, untested on Heavy 9 (poor Heavy 8 run previously), and a sharp class rise from Class 1 to BM50. Pracey-Holmes' strong Coonabarabran record (21% strike rate) adds confidence. This is a speculative play on barrier, improving form, and jockey strength at the track, suitable for small-stake value hunters only.
