Coffs Harbour Tips

KING'S WARRIOR faded to finish fourth at only start at Ipswich and gets the blinkers back on, big chance. BRIGHT THE SUN placed when fresh and well beaten but finished strongly last start at Ballina, place claims. MOON TREATY in the money last start running third at Armidale and up in journey, quinella.

Hard to split the top two selections. GIDDY GAN'S JOY has won at Kilcoy and placed twice this prep, one of the main hopes. WAITAPU and came on strong to win last start at Tamworth and Shannen Llewellyn has had success aboard previously, has solid claims.
