Overview
Grassburn has won the last two starts and three of six runs in the last 90 days, and comes to the Jacaranda Cup with the best recent form in the field. The race is the feature of an eight-race card on a Soft track.
The first race goes at 1:50PM and the last at 6:00PM, and the meeting includes the Jacaranda Crown for fillies and mares. These Coffs Harbour racing tips cover every race, with G Spokes the main rider to follow and two short-priced favourites early on the card. Only the first two races were priced when this was written, so the odds below come from those races.
What Coffs Harbour gives us today
Limited course form across today’s fields, with most runners having one or two starts here, or none at all. Prince Of Prophets, with a win and a placing from two Coffs Harbour starts, is the main horse with useful track form. The jockeys and trainers give more to go on.

G Spokes finishes in the first three on more than half of all Coffs Harbour rides and has five rides today. D Peisley wins nearly one ride in four here. Among the trainers, B J Dodson wins a third of the time from 15 runners, which is the best strike rate from a decent sample.

Coffs Harbour race by race
Race 1: Crjc Agm 25 November Plate (C1), 1:50PM, 2000m
Zweigelt starts favourite at $2.30 with Bet Right, and the form supports that price. A second last start, a win three starts back, and in the last 90 days a win and three placings from five starts for $34,150. A Mallyon rides for M J Dunn.
Swift Sovereign won last start, after an eighth and a fifth, and has D Peisley, who wins nearly a quarter of rides here. At $3 with Neds that is the danger in a small field. Zweigelt is the banker for multis. Win bet.
Race 2: Remembering Shirley Kelly CB Jacaranda Mdn Hcp, 2:25PM, 1600m
Atadcheeky is favourite at $3.20 with Bet Right, having placed at four of six starts. Sarmat is next at $3.30 with G Spokes aboard for B J Dodson. Neither is much of a value price for a maiden that has kept finding one better.
Bravo Six ran second last start, and at 56kg has less weight than either of them. In the last 90 days the form reads three runs and one placing, which is not much, but the second last time was the best of the last five runs. At $4.40 with Bet Right that is the value bet. Atadcheeky is the danger. Bravo Six each-way.
Race 3: Remembering Victoria Moorhead (Bm58), 3:00PM, 1200m
Monaco Flyer grinds; Mosgiel Crystal comes off a win. Monaco Flyer ran second last start, has a win and two placings from four runs in the last 90 days, and has L P Rolls, who has won seven times here, riding for J D Shelton. The weight is 57.5kg.
Mosgiel Crystal won last start with B Looker and carries 59.5kg, two kilos more. On a soft track over 1200m, the weight could matter. Back Monaco Flyer each-way, with Mosgiel Crystal the danger.
Race 4: Remembering Gae Palmer Mdn Hcp, 3:35PM, 1000m
This is a hard race to have a strong view on. Sideact ran second at the only start and has the best form in the race on paper, with Daniel Smith riding for R J Agnew at 58.5kg.
Havachatharry is a first starter for P J Cunningham, who has placed with five of twelve runners here. Omaha Bart also debuts, with Grace Palmer up. If forced, Sideact, but this is a race to watch rather than bet.
Race 5: Jacaranda Crown – F&M (Bm58), 4:10PM, 1600m
Latin Lights has finished second three times in her last six starts, with a win in there as well. She ran second last start and has a win and three placings from four starts in the last 90 days. A Mallyon rides for M J Dunn. She carries 60kg, the most in the race, but she is the most consistent horse in it.
Hotzino has run second twice and fourth three times in her last six starts and placed at her only Coffs Harbour run. G Spokes rides at 57kg, which makes her the danger. Elite Delight won her only start here but ran ninth last time. Latin Lights to win, with Hotzino in the exacta.
Race 6: Crjc Life Members Super Mdn Plate, 4:45PM, 1200m
No No No No No has run fourth, second, third and third at four starts, and A Mallyon rides for M J Dunn again. That is the most consistent form in the race, even without a win.
Last Metaphor ran second last start and is the danger. Stormy Martini also ran second at the only start, with Daniel Smith aboard. Mama Tried, fourth on debut, has G Spokes and Sally Taylor. Back No No No No No to win, with Last Metaphor in the quinella.
Race 7: Jacaranda Cup (Bm82), 5:20PM, 1200m
Grassburn comes into the Cup with the best recent form. The last two starts were both wins, and in the last 90 days the record is three wins and five placings from six runs, for $53,750. L P Rolls rides for M J Robinson at 56.5kg.
The danger is Rich Star, which carries only 52.5kg. The form reads first, first, second, second, second and third, so this is a horse that is always in the finish. In the last 90 days Rich Star has placed at all three runs without winning, and placed at the only Coffs Harbour start. Grace Palmer rides for C R Manson.
Via Vegas won three in a row before a ninth last time, and Grey Effects has run second at three straight starts. Both have the form to run well. But Grassburn‘s form is better than any of them, and we expect a strong run. Back Grassburn to win, and put Rich Star in the place market.
Race 8: Remembering Rowan Wicks CB (Bm58), 6:00PM, 1400m
Star Of Winston won last start, ran second before that and won three starts back. The last 90 days show two wins and four placings from four runs. Grace Palmer rides for Jason Reilly at 59.5kg.
Prince Of Prophets has a win and a placing from two runs at Coffs Harbour and has G Spokes. The problem is the weight, 61kg, the most in the race. Who Loves A Harley is trained by D L Matts, but ran ninth last start. Back Star Of Winston to win.

Banker: Zweigelt (Race 1, 1:50PM), $2.30 with Bet Right. A win and three placings from five runs in the last 90 days, in a small field.
Each-way: Rich Star (Race 7, 5:20PM). Placed at every start in the last 90 days, and at 52.5kg the lightest weight in the Cup.
Course angle: G Spokes is the rider to follow here, with 27 placings from 51 Coffs Harbour rides. Today’s rides include Sarmat, Hotzino and Prince Of Prophets.
Quaddie (Races 5 to 8): Latin Lights with Hotzino, No No No No No with Last Metaphor, Grassburn with Rich Star, Star Of Winston with Prince Of Prophets.
If Grassburn wins a third straight race, the next step will be a better class of race, and the price will be shorter.
