Port Macquarie Race 1 - Panthers Group 3 Junior Rugby League – Mid North Coast Mdn Plate
SURPASSER (7) is improving with racing and should relish the extra trip from the low gate. Stuck on well at his second race start with the 58kg when a handy fifth over 1250m at Taree. Senior rider on and he gets the right run. BOHEMIAN ART (9) deep into the prep and a win looks imminent. Returned from a let-up with a tenacious second over 1500m at this track. Strips fitter and has the talent to take this out. BOBBY (6) expecting a much better performance here as he steps up to the 1500m. Chipped away late when fifth over 1305m at Coffs Harbour. Finds an easier race from the good barrier. Minor place contender. BOULEVARD BOY (1) in need of the run first-up over the unsuitable trip when sixth over 1250m at Taree. Comes to hand quickly and proven at this distance range.

At the latest run 4th of 9 at Tuncurry Mdn on January 17 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 8 len behind The Final Say carrying 59kg at $5. The run before that raced on the pace before fading ran last of 10 at Taree Mdn-Sw on December 23 over 1300m, 21 len behind Dark Justice carrying 59kg at $4.40. Hard to get excited about his chances.

Racing well recently. Last start led but faded 2nd of 7 at this track Mdn-Sw on January 6 over 1500m, 1.3 len behind Dwayne carrying 57kg at $2.60. Before that second last in a small field at Wyong 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on November 26 over 1625m, 2.5 len behind Celebrity with 54kg at $3.50. Shapes as the main danger.

Second-up. First-up after nine months 3rd of 11 at Taree Super Mdn on January 2 over 1250m, 1.5 len behind Lune D'excellence carrying 55.5kg at $41. Previously second-up 4th of 11 at Tuncurry Mdn on March 1 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Sweet Bubbles carrying 56kg at $10. Should run well again and is definitely in the mix.
