Coffs Harbour Tips August 1

Rob Young Maiden Showcase Plate Tips (Race 2)

Coffs Harbour Roughie - Race 2 No. 10 Insain Chaos

He wasn't alone in finding a handy Vivika too sharp via a 1000m maiden on Ramornie Handicap Day, but Insain Chaos worked home well from the rear (second-fastest last 400m and 200m of the race).

The gelding recorded the third-fastest last 400m of that Grafton feature program, where he was on debut following two solid trials and he returns to his home track for start two.

Insain Chaos didn't have the speed to stay in touch over five furlongs early via his first race day appearance, so the rise in distance should suit and there's natural improvement to come.

Pier Hotel Super Maiden Showcase Tips (Race 4)

Coffs Harbour Favourite - Race 4 No. 13 Mrs Goldberg

It's been a good winter for trainer Matthew Dunn, with 24 winners and 25 placegetters prepared since the start of the June, and he enjoyed recent success over the Grafton Carnival.

His maiden runners featured heavily over the July carnival and 2kg claimer Jett Newman continued his strong rapport with Dunn stable, with three winners at Grafton and a double at Kempsey on Monday.

Dunn and Newman combine with Mrs Goldberg, a debutante who is from the family as Mr Stunning (dual Hong Kong Sprint winner) and the filly arrives here off a classy trial win at Deagon.

Moonee Beach Hotel Coffs Harbour Cup Tips (Race 7)

Coffs Harbour Feature Bet - Race 7 No. 7 It's A Knockout

She put in a career best run first-up at Randwick, where the Ciaron Maher-trained mare bolted in with a BM78 that went around two lengths faster than the Listed Civic Stakes on that meeting.

That June 21 form has been franked with both second and third winning subsequently in Sydney, which includes Oh Diamond Lil, who won her two outings at Randwick.

Anything resembling that fresh performance would have It's A Knockout winning the 2025 Coffs Harbour Cup, but the daughter of Dundeel does need to spike again off a somewhat flat second-up effort.

Grant Bastian Class 3 Showcase Handicap Tips (Race 8)

Coffs Harbour Value Bet - Race 8 No. 12 Shore To Happen

1200m is the sweet spot for Shore To Happen, with all three career wins coming over this trip and there's room to progress off an encouraging 1100m return at Beaudesert.

She was a notable late drifter in the market for that July 8 attempt, where the mare was ridden colder than usual and she finished off well (fastest last 800m/600m and 400m of the card).

Shore To Happen was a comfortable second-up winner last prep when working early to lead in a fast-run race and she was equally as effective two starts later when taking a trail at Ipswich.
