Kempsey Race 3 - Seabreeze Hotel South West Rocks Showcase Mdn Hcp
PRESTIGE FANTASTIC (1) comes up from Victoria and is now in the Tony Ball yard. Has genuine claims despite a plain Echuca run, with his Kyneton fifth giving him a better platform than the last-start margin suggests after he was held up passing the 300m. He is rated strongly at 1250m and strikes a maiden where that should carry weight. TORPEDO TUBE (11) brings the most recent placing of the main hopes, having been second to Rubinsky at Port Macquarie two starts ago before a fair seventh at Scone. He has the right profile to rebound if he can sharpen late. TAVERNA (10) has been well beaten at her past two, but barrier 1, a previous placing at this track and solid recent-form ratings keep her in the winning mix. IN AND AWAY (5) resumes off a Grafton run where he was beaten just under three lengths at long odds, and while his 15-start maiden record tempers confidence, he has enough exposed substance to be a genuine danger fresh.

Comes through two Victorian runs that were mixed, with the Echuca eighth last start the obvious blemish after he settled rearward and made no impression when beaten over 12 lengths by Caledonian Summer. His Kyneton fifth was more useful, with a hold-up passing the 300m against Tanabata. In a thin maiden, he gets his chance to win.

Resumes after six months off having finished second last on debut in an Open at Scone, beaten over 11 lengths after jumping awkwardly and racing keenly on heavy ground. He has had three trials since, which gives him a fitness base, and the drop from Open company is relevant. New trip is the query, but place claims are there.

Gets to his third run this campaign, but both recent efforts leave him with ground to make up. He led at Scone last start yet offered little late, finishing eighth and beaten just over eight lengths at big odds, and he was also well held at Port Macquarie the run prior after beginning slowly. Others appeal more.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a better run than the finishing position suggests at Grafton, beaten just under three lengths by Aurora Effect at long odds after closing off well. His overall maiden record is the concern, with no wins from 15 starts, though he has placed once from six tries at this trip. Long-time maiden, but a live place hope.

Was beaten over 14 lengths when last of 12 at Port Macquarie, and while he did race wide through the middle stages, the margin was still hard to overlook after being unwanted in betting. His Taree run prior was also weak, finishing second last and beaten over 10 lengths. Sharp improvement required.

Has been well beaten at both recent starts, finishing eighth at Muswellbrook after settling back and making no impression, following a last at Tuncurry when unwanted in betting. The 3kg claim and two placings from five tries at this distance are positives, but his ten-start maiden record and current form are stronger negatives. Improvement required.

Had a genuine excuse when checked at the first turn at Port Macquarie last start, then was only fair late when seventh and beaten just over seven lengths. Her previous third at Taree was sound after working into the race, and she has placed at both attempts around this distance. Two placings from two at the trip give her a rough minor hope.

Draws barrier 1 and has a previous placing from her only start at this track, which gives her a better set-up than recent figures suggest. She was slow away and beaten nine and a half lengths at Port Macquarie last start, after another 11th there when suffering interference on the home turn. Better set-up makes her a real chance.

Had no clear excuse when seventh at Scone last start, beaten just over five lengths by The Autumn Wind after settling back and failing to finish off. The better reference is his Port Mac second two back, beaten just under a length by Rubinsky at big odds after being bumped at the start. Last start was plain, but he can bounce back.
