Comments: Coffs Harbour 7-4 Crystal Point returned from a spell in obviously fine fettle with a comprehensive win at Grafton. That was an RB67 but was probably a harder race given it was over the carnival so I think he'll be winning this. The only concern is that he's a 6YO and only having his 6th start so he's clealy had problems. Coffs Harbour 8-5 Pennants has had a freshen up since racing over a mile nearly 8 weeks ago. He's 3/4 first up but has never raced at less than 1200m so I'd want a fair price to back him - around $3.50. Townsville 4-3 Bronze Queen won three on the trot at out of town tracks before drawing 16 of 16 on a slow track here and never getting into the race last time out. She's probably an e/w chance in this.
