Shortest win price
Miners Mate (4)
3.60
Welcome to Coonabarabran for the Bowman Racing Showcase Hcp (C1) over 1400m on a Good 4 track under overcast skies, where punters are lining up to dissect a intriguing Class 1 battle. Looking at the win market order, Miners Mate sits at the head of affairs, closely followed by Midnight In Minori and Russian Escape, with Justo's Rocket and Velocette right in the mix as well. It shapes as a fascinating tactical affair over the 1400m trip with plenty of speed influences engaged across the field.
Digging into the form behind those shorter prices, Miners Mate jumps from barrier 2 for trainer Lyle Chandler and jockey Clayton Gallagher, bringing a strong runner-up effort at Armidale over 1400m where it was prominent to the 400m before fading at Port Macquarie last time out, though good gate speed keeps it in calculations. Russian Escape comes in from barrier 8 with Luke Rolls steering for Colt Prosser, having battled on with a fifth at Grafton over 1400m following a similar effort at Taree, suggesting the drop back in distance could suit. Meanwhile, Midnight In Minori for Connie Greig and Mikayla Weir ran on hard for fifth over 1600m at Coonamble after going close at Dubbo, and the switch to 1400m looks a neat fit.
Further down the order, Justo's Rocket from W T Martyn's yard is another worth keeping an eye on, having stuck to the task bravely when runner-up in a BM50 at Narromine over 1300m and boasting a prior win at this very Coonabarabran track. With speed map runners like Street Skater and Miners Mate looking to press forward from their respective gates, this race has all the makings of a proper punting puzzle where staying out of trouble will be half the battle.

Freshened after returning. Failed to threaten at Narromine for new trainer when crunched in betting. Drawn more favourably. Warrants attention.
ILB
Started at $8.00 and faded to finish 12th last run at Narromine. Will be positive in the run early. Good chance and definitely has claims.
RP
Last of 12 over 6f at Narromine (handicap) last month on debut for this trainer; this line-up contains some strong opposition so unlikely to do better than a supporting role.
RSIS
Was 7/1 and couldn't maintain the pace when 12th last start at Narromine. Should race on the pace. One of the punters top hopes.

Now 5 weeks between runs. Battled home okay at Armidale over this trip. Since trialled at Tamworth 12 Oct. Hard to warm to here.

At $20.00 inched into 5th last run at Armidale. Interesting to see the winkers go off for the first time. Finished 5th in a trial at Tamworth on Oct 12th. Place claims at best.
RP
Not beaten that far in fifth (3½l) last month at Armidale, behind Miners Mate; been generally quiet since successful in a maiden at Tamworth in January; this looks a fair heat so may have to settle for supporting role at best.
RSIS
At 19/1 chased well when 5th last start at Armidale. Cheekpieces go off for the first time. Ran 5th in a trial at Tamworth on Oct 12th.
