Port Augusta Race 1 - Bryan (Popeye) & Lorraine Harbridge Memorial (Bm58)
Small field but a couple that have been able to find some form on the dirt in recent months. PIRATE (1) has been a different horse since racng on this track and he looks the one to beat, even with the big weight. He will go forward, run them along and should keep running. STRASBEAU (3) is another that has really turned his form around since switching from turf racing. He was eight lengths behind PIRATE the only time they met so he will need to have improved to turn it around. CASTLECOMER (6) mixes his form but he does pop up for a win or two every campaign. He looks a top three chance in the small field. TAIPAN TOMMY (2) has been freshened up and can run well, although he may be better for it. SHADOW EXPRESS (4) is honest but might lack the class of a couple of these.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 35-day let-up. Last start led but faded 2nd of 9 at this track Bm58 on July 20 over 1498m, 2.75 len behind Aspenado carrying 61.5kg at $3.10. The race before that favourite; scored a big 5 len win at this track Bm56 July 6 over 1396m defeating Our Goddess with 60.5kg at $1.80. Form on the dirt has been hard to fault and he can win again.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation fourth of 10 at this track Bm56 June 22 over 1498m, 3 len behind I'm Kenny with 59kg at $13. First up last campaign ninth of 12 at Alice Springs 0 - 62 March 16 over 1400m, 5 len behind Hellara with 55kg at $6. Certainly one to consider but perhaps better for the run.

Last start raced on the pace before fading second last of 15 at Balaklava Bm56 on July 30 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 11 len behind France's Boy carrying 54kg at $20. The run before that held ground to the line 3rd of 11 at this track 0-52 on July 20 over 1498m, 2.5 len behind Harbouring with 58.5kg at $16. Mixes form but his best is good enough for this.
