Carlton Mid Coffs Harbour Cup

WT: 54kg Type: Qlty

Country Cups specialist, Southern Slimmer, having his second start from a lengthy spell, was ridden patiently by Robert Thompson and settled about tenth on the rails. He improved along the rails to be seventh at the 1000m but was racing a bit keenly due to the moderate early tempo. He switched between runners rounding the home turn, took a while to wind up in the sprint home and then came with a strong run to score by a neck. The favourite Disciple settled last from his wide barrier (10), made a wide run to improve from the 800m and was about eighth (wide out) at the turn. He challenged strongly at the 100m and then fought on for a good second, conceding 3kg to the winner. Single Spirit, stablemate of the winner, raced in sixth place one off the rails. He put in a run shortly after turning for home, challenged at the 200m and kept battling on for a close-up third. *ANZ
