Who Ever Thought has amassed almost $220,000 in prizemoney, courtesy of six wins and five placings from 19 starts. Who Ever Thought will face stern opposition in the Coonabarabran Cup, with Coonamble Gold Cup runner-up Lockdown Gamble also in action for trainer David Smith and jockey Jake Pracey-Holmes. Meanwhile, Grima has five other rides at Coonabarabran, starting with the Kevin Dixon-prepared Rhodesian Diamond in the Reggie’s Tattersalls Hotel Baradine & Pursehouse Rural Class 1 Showcase Handicap (1400m). She will then be legged aboard the Paul Clisby-trained Supreme Style, which is yet to miss a place from three starts, in the Barron’s Tyre & Mechanical And Big Sky Experiences Country Boosted Maiden Showcase Plate (900m). First-starter Somerton Smart will contest the Brett Bowman Racing & Breeding Happy 25th Anniversary Brett & Katrina Super Maiden Handicap (1200m) for Grima and trainer Sue Grills. Somerton Smart ran third in its only barrier trial at Tamworth in preparation for his debut.
