Coelhocan blitz rivals

PAULO COELHO, who took four spots off the track record when winning his semi-final on Wednesday, can land the Hospitality Catering Super Sprint final at Curraheen tonight.

A winner of seven of his 10 starts, Paulo Coelho was very fast away and made all for a clear-cut win in 17.40 on Wednesday. Bang-in-form and ideally sited on the rails, Paulo Coelho has to get the vote.

The unbeaten Kilboy Oak reads the obvious danger. Francie Murray’s runner, who posted a record breaking 17.44 run on his penultimate start, made it three from three in the stake when carding 17.66 in midweek.

He too is a classy sort but would be better suited by an inside berth.
