Country racing heads to the mid north coast of NSW on Friday afternoon, with the $150,000 Coffs Harbour Cup (1600m) headlining a stacked eight-race program. The rail is in the true position the entire way around, and with nothing but sunny skies forecast in the lead-up, punters can expect the surface to dry out into the Good range prior to the opening event at 12:29pm local time.
Coffs Harbour Cup Tip: En Francais
En Francais got a pass mark first-up for the David Vandyke barn, hitting the line well at the Sunshine Coast on July 14. The daughter of Puissance De Lune got too far back in the Listed Glasshouse Handicap (1400m) and was unable to show her usually stunning turn-of-foot on the Heavy 9 conditions. She’s got far superior form on top of the ground to go along with an impeccable second-up record of five starts for two wins and three placings, and provided she can get the gun run from barrier three this time, En Francais should be adding to that tally in the 2024 Coffs Harbour Cup.

Best Bet at Coffs Harbour: Jack Duggan
Jack Duggan appears ready to peak third-up in the campaign. The Jason Deamer-trained gelding should’ve finished much closer in metro company at Canterbury on July 24 last time out, sitting towards the rear of the field and only getting clear in the final 200m. He was doing his best work late on that occasion, and with the step-up to 2000m ideal as he drops back into country grade, Jack Duggan should be testing this lot when asked for the ultimate effort.

Next Best at Coffs Harbour: Cerons
Cerons was outclassed last preparation when contesting the Group Skyline Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on March 2, but looks to be returning in supreme order after undergoing a gelding operation. He careered away to score by five lengths in a recent barrier trial at Scone on June 12, signifying he’d be ready for a first-up assault regardless of the destination. This country maiden looks like an ideal placement by the Brett Cavanough barn, and this guy only needs to find the front early under Cobi Vitler to be a major player in the finish.
