Kempsey Race 4 - Happy 50th Evan 'Feathers' Jones (Bm58)
FARRAIGE (3) saluted at Port Macquarie two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when fourth over 2000m at Taree, beaten 2 lengths after doing his best work late. Yet to miss the frame in three starts over this course and distance. Has the class to produce another win. STROBING (1) did little and finished tenth over 1500m at Tuncurry last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at Muswellbrook the run before. Has the class to produce a better result here. FLASH PRINCE (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at Gold Coast, beaten 1.5 lengths into seventh. Finds the right race this time and can turn things around. BIANCO NERO (7) pushed forward from a wide draw last time out and was prominent for a long way before fading to finish fifth over 1512m at Port Macquarie. Worth including.
