The series come to a conclusion at Menangle this weekend, a track Coffee has plenty to do with after making the move from Dubbo to Sydney in recent times.

Coffee, 19, has been working with the Craig Cross and has driven in trials and races at the state’s home of racing.

On Sunday, he will drive Arachon for Chris Frisby in the final after showing promise and earning enough points during the heats.

It’s a return for Coffee after finishing fourth in the decider last year, one where he also showed plenty of talent in the lead-up events.

Frisby’s Arachon is certain to give the teenager a chance from gate two on Sunday, the gelding having scored a win and two placings from his last four starts.

The victory came at Eugowra at the start of this month while there’s also been two third-placed finishes at Bathurst since then.

Those starts came after a successful period of racing in Queensland, a trip north which included nine top four finishes in four starts.

There’s plenty of class in the event, with the Mark Callaghan-trained Power Surge having not missed a top three placing in the last 10 starts. Hayden Green has the drive on Sunday.

Josh Aiken will drive Heza Bromac for Bathurst trainer Amanda Turnbull while Bruce O’Brien will drive Italian Delight, a Kiwi gelding who showed promise when running fourth on debut for Tim Butt last time out.

The final sets off at 3.39pm.
