Cool Amigo may have an ideal race scenario when he starts for the first time since October in a five-furlong handicap at Coffs Harbour Racecourse in Australia on Wednesday evening. Cool Amigo runs from a tracking position, and is part of a field of eight that includes three primary runners capable of setting a quick pace – King’s Gold, Scotland, and Toy Boy Roy. Cool Amigo, an attractive 7-1 in early betting on Tuesday, will start from post 2, which should allow for a ground-saving trip. Trained by Brett Dodson, who is based at Coffs Harbour, Cool Amigo is winless in five starts since a maiden race at five furlongs at Queanbeyan Racecourse last March. In four 2022 starts after the maiden win, Cool Amigo’s best result was a second in a five-furlong handicap at Murwillumbah in August. He later finished 10th and ninth in September and October before he was rested. :: Get free past performances, analysis, and picks for Australian racing Dodson’s stable does not have a lot of runners, but is worth following.
