Kembla Grange Race 6 - Southern Cross Turf Class 1 Hcp
PORTICO (4) was ridden closer to the speed last start over 1100m at Hawkesbury and he battled on well for third without ever looking a threat in the run home. Has raced twice over 1000m and filled a placing on each occasion. Very fit and should be hard to hold out. DIRTY SUMMER (3) has been tried over 1400m+ at his last couple of outings and failed to deliver. Given a little reset and is capable of a bright performance back to this distance. YAMASHITA (7) appreciated dropping back to a country maiden and got the job done recently over a similar trip to this at Moruya. Faces a far deeper assignment today but he races well at Kembla and is on the ascendancy. ARTEMEX (6) started at $2.50 and won his maiden by the barest margin last start over today's journey at Hawkesbury. Capable of taking this next step. PERFORMANCE (1) has not appeared since Boxing Day. Impressive in two runs in town in the maiden campaign. Trialling well and should be right there at the business end.

Last start couldn't go on with it; 7th of 11 in a Cl1 at Illawarra Grange on September 17 over 1450m, 6 len behind Beautiful You carrying 56kg at $9. Before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 in a Cl1 at this track on August 29 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Harry Lime carrying 56kg at $5.50. Can turn things around with this sharp cut back in distance.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming 4th of 11 in a Cl1 at Wyong on September 4 over 1100m, 1.75 len behind Cosmic Order carrying 57.5kg at $2.60. Second-up raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 9 in a Bm64 at Hawkesbury on September 24 over 1100m, 1.75 len behind Flight Of Power with 57.5kg at $8.50. Fitter for two runs back and the longer run home here is a plus.
