COASTAL RAIDER (4) finds it hard to win with just one success from 10 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 5f190yards at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Likely contender with strong prospects. TYPHOON NETA (8) wound up strongly but just failed to pick up the winner when fresh from a lay-off last start over 5f at this track. Should tighten right up following that outing. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SHAGGY ROGERS (1) met with solid support when resuming last start over 6½f at Ballina when second, beaten 2.5 lengths. Well-placed to make amends. SUPIDOMAN (2) hit the frame two starts ago at Ballina but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 5½f at this track. Has his share of talent and can do a lot better.
