Cootamundra horses tips & previews

Welcome to the Cootamundra track for the Trish & Stuart Anderson Memorial Mdn Hcp over the 1100m journey, which has already jumped at 2:20 pm AEDT. Looking at how the win market shaped up for this contest, the punters found Miss Hard Copy sitting right at the top of the order as the shortest runner in the market. Right behind in the betting sequence we find Brave Summit holding down the next spot, followed closely by North Star Miss and Not Guilty to round out the early markers in the win order. Rounding out the rest of the market runners we saw Lindos, Cool As Ted, and Our Miracle Girl all looking to make their presence felt in the yarn.

Digging into the form behind those shorter prices gives us a bit of a clearer picture of how this race was set up. Miss Hard Copy jumps from barrier 4 with Nick Heywood steering for trainer Darrell Burnet, bringing plenty of interest from the punters who kept her safe at the head of the market. Meanwhile, Brave Summit lines up from barrier 3 with Blaike Mc Dougall in the saddle for trainer Craig Weeding, while North Star Miss draws barrier 2 with Amy Mc Lucas riding for Ms T Bateup. Not Guilty adds another layer to the race from barrier 13 with Josh Richards engaged for trainer Michael Travers.

Looking a touch further down the order, Ms T Bateup is doubly represented with Lindos drawing barrier 11 under Molly Bourke alongside stablemate North Star Miss. Scott Collings sends out Cool As Ted from barrier 9 with Dale Cole steering, while Our Miracle Girl jumps from barrier 12 with Sairyn Fawke aboard for trainer Ms S Downs. How the speed unfolded early from those wider gates like barrier 13 for Not Guilty and barrier 12 for Our Miracle Girl certainly played its part in shaping the race story once they got into stride.
