Miss looks good for Northam victory

The seventh race at Northam is a 1300m Class 1 handicap expected to take place on a soft 6 surface.

The Grant & Alana Williams team are represented by L’il Capri here, with the four-year-old expected to have her supporters on just her fourth career start.

The filly debuted with a two length fourth when racing over this course and distance at the end of August.

The daughter of Playing God broke her maiden stepped up to 1400m at Bunbury next time prior to finishing seventh of nine in a metro Class 1 handicap over 1650m at Belmont.

While she warrants respect with apprentice Chanel Cooper taking three kilograms off her back, the experienced MISS WALL STREET is the selection.

The four-year-old broke through for her first victory when racing close to the speed prior to saluting over 1400m on a soft 5 surface here early last month.

The 2.60 filly was making her second start this prep having resumed with a good third when racing on a heavy 8 track in a 1200m maiden at Pinjarra first up.

Chris Parnham, on board for both of those efforts and who is set to ride here, was again up when the pick finished a length second in a Belmont Class 1 on her most recent start.

The Manhattan Rain filly represents the in-form Daniel Morton stable here and she is taken to register the second win of her career.

Legacy to claim Cup glory

It’s Cup Day at Cootamundra with the big race set to take place as the seventh race on an eight-race program.

Tim Donnelly’s County Kilkenny demonstrated good form earlier this prep and is expected to jump as favourite for the 1600m handicap.

The gelding recorded wins at Albury and Wagga prior to placing second in a couple of metro events at Rosehill and Randwick.

The five-year-old recorded his third win of the year when successful by a narrow margin when racing on the Kensington track at Randwick in August.

The son of Fast Company contested an 1800m benchmark 64 handicap held on a heavy 8 track that day and he rates highly despite disappointing when sixth over 1900m at Canterbury last month.

However, the pick here is LOUIE'S LEGACY, who has shown improvement with racing this prep having resumed with a seventh in the Dubbo Gold Cup Prelude over 1400m at Dubbo in August.

Two good, placed efforts followed, including when half-a-length second in a 1600m Benchmark 70 handicap on a good 4 track at Canberra early last month.

The 4.40 selection again encountered a good 4 surface when making all to win by two-and-a-half-lengths in a Benchmark 75 handicap over the same track and trip two weeks later.

Trained by Barbara, Joseph, Paul & Matt Jones, the six-year-old appeared to appreciate racing from the front when wearing a visor for the first time last time out.

While barrier 11 is far from ideal, Quayde Krogh - on board last time out - retains the ride and his mount looks capable of completing a double.

Nickelback to rock Ballina finale

The finale at Ballina is a competitive 1300m Benchmark 66 handicap, with NICKELBACK arriving here in good form.

The gelding came home two lengths clear of his rivals when taking out a 1400m Class 3 handicap at Casino on his penultimate start.

The six-year-old tracked the pace when racing on a good 4 surface that day and he was freshened prior to placing third at Grafton subsequently.

The 4.40 son of Nicconi was beaten just under three-and-a-half-lengths when contesting a 1420m Benchmark 66 handicap on that occasion.

Stephen Lee’s gelding faded late on at Grafton, but dropping back in distance he is selected to return to winning ways.
