Race preview

The Remembering Shirley Kelly Cb Jacaranda Maiden Handicap unfolds at Coffs Harbour this afternoon at 2:25 pm AEDT over 1600 metres on a Soft 6 track in fine conditions. The win market has Atadcheeky shortest, with Sarmat next, followed by Prince Of Wants and Bravo Six. This is a maiden field where a well-placed runner keen to break through can shape the race. Atadcheeky carries a rating of 91, has been honest at his recent two starts—just missing by a whisker at Port Macquarie on the quick back-up—and figures to settle offpace before making a late bid. Sarmat, rated 100, brings form lines from Port Macquarie where he finished within striking distance at the same track and distance, though a blowout at his last start tempers the narrative. The form suggests this is genuinely open.

Bravo Six and Prince Of Wants will likely fight for midfield positioning. Bravo Six, rated 87, only recently joined a new stable and ran on late into the placings at this very track—that's a genuine positive. The jockey-trainer combo are outperforming market by 45 per cent, though his speed data hints at slower early splits on average, which could prove costly if the pace slackens. Prince Of Wants rated 84, just got run down by a winner too strong at Port Macquarie and rates a genuine player if distance suits the way his form is trending. The comment suggests a distance increase helps his chances. Both offer paths to victory if the race runs to script.

Up front, Jieba lines up from barrier 4 with Noriyuki Masuda aboard and maps as the leader. His stable is in form, outperforming market by 43 per cent, and the trainer sits at 31 per cent profit on turnover across the last hundred runners. Yet his career record offers scant encouragement and recent form figures read 3-4. The speedGroups suggest Jieba will likely control early tempo with Sarmat anchoring from the back. A view here is that Atadcheeky's offpace positioning and late-run pedigree, combined with his recent tight finishes, presents real value in a maiden field where acceleration matters as the track softens.

AAP

Finished within striking distance Mdn Plate at Port Macquarie. Has placed here. Rates highly.

ILB

Odds of $10.00 and hit the line well when 4th last run at Port Macquarie and drawn nicely. Grady Spokes is in good form for this stable. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; a close fourth over 7½f at Port Macquarie (maiden) when not far behind Prince Of Wants ten days ago; hard enough to fancy as running in what looks to be a hot race.

RSIS

Started at 9/1 and chased well when 4th last time at Port Macquarie and has a positive stall. Jockey Grady Spokes and trainer Brett Dodson are consistently competitive together. Winning chance.

Form to date sound. Ran on late into the placings this course for new stable. Looks suitably placed in this line-up.

ILB

Ran home into 2nd beaten by 1L last run at Grafton and gets the perfect barrier. Form has been improving over recent runs. One for the value hunters.

Ran encouragingly when just over 1l runner-up over 1m½f at Grafton (maiden) last month; producing consistent form and has kicked on in his last couple of races; recent display was promising so likely to be a contender.

RSIS

Ran home into 2nd beaten by 1L last run at Grafton and drawn by the rails. Showing improvement in recent outings. Respect the betting.

Rarely far away. Settled midfield, ran on fairly without threatening at Beaumont. More ground a plus. This looks very achievable.

ILB

Started at $8.50 and moved through the field into 4th last run at Newcastle.

RSIS

Started at 15/2 and improved when 4th last run at Newcastle.

AAP

Trailed speed, kept coming but winner too strong at Port Macquarie. Distance increase suits. Can have a major say if things pan out.

ILB

Finished amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last time at Port Macquarie. Not hopeless.

Went close when runner-up at Port Macquarie last month in a maiden; consistent lately and signs of improvement on last two runs; competitive shout as latest run was an encouraging one.

RSIS

Finished strongly when 2nd last start at Port Macquarie.

AAP

Honest performer. Just missed at Port Macquarie 10 Oct. Gave solid chase in a good effort at Taree. Major player here.

ILB

Started at $7.00 and chased well when 4th last run at Taree. Definite claims for punters.

Still winless and defeats stacking up (12 on the bounce).

RSIS

Odds of 6/1 and made up ground when 4th last start at Taree. Solid prospects.

AAP

Third run now in new stable/region. Rearward and made minor headway in the strung out finish this course second-up. Leaning towards others here.

ILB

Started $81.00 and showed some merit late when 5th last time at Grafton. Couldn't have in this.

Winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at 13; close up behind Anderlyn when fifth at Grafton in a maiden; others have more pressing claims.

RSIS

Started at 80/1 and advanced late into 5th last run at Grafton.

Odds correct as at Wed 4 Nov, 2:30 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
