Port Augusta Race 3 - Pastoral Hotel Motel (Bm62)
HOLDER MAID (6) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten a head, over 1400m at Balaklava. This is an easier assignment and can take this out. TOORAK BLAZE (4) wasn't far away last time and is edging towards a win, the latest effort a solid third over a similar trip at Port Lincoln. Backmarker who gets home hard. Will be tough to stop if the tempo is genuine. LAVA LAD (1) couldn't live up to market expectations last time but wasn't that far off his best when tackling a tougher grade. Reunites with Potter who has a strong record when aboard, including four wins. Expected to measure up. SEA ROADS (7) warmed nicely late when resuming big odds at Balaklava, just missing the frame in a blanket finish. Is sure to have come on from that and carries no weight on his back with the 3kg claimer engaged. Don't take lightly. BANGERANG REDBACK (3) is a tough one to catch but can sneak a minor spot if on song.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up 5th of 9 at Port Lincoln Bm72 on March 15 over 1000m, 2.25 len behind Messerschmitt with 54.5kg at $8.50. Second-up ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 10 at Port Lincoln Bm60 on March 29 over 1210m, 4 len behind Setteveli with 59kg at $18. Hard to fault if at his best.

Racing well recently. Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at Balaklava Cl2 on April 1 over 1400m, head behind Stokomo carrying 54.5kg at $31. The race before that won by 1.2 len at Streaky Bay Bm62 March 21 over 1350m defeating My Crackling with 54.5kg at $3.50. Right at home on dirt - happy to stick.

Second-up. First-up after nine months eased back early on 6th of 8 at Balaklava Cge 0-56 on April 1 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Testa Dexta with 58kg at $31. Previously second-up 7th of 13 at Strathalbyn 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on January 15 2025 over 1350m, 4.5 len behind Our Glamour Girl carrying 56.5kg at $2.90. Can do much better this time with the run under his belt.

Second run back. Comes off a 58-day let-up. First-up after six months 9th of 11 at Clare F&M 0-56 on February 13 over 1100m, 6 len behind Sha Na Na with 58kg at $61. Previously second-up ran last of 11 at Balaklava Bm60 on April 16 over 1600m, 7 len behind The Golden Fist carrying 55kg at $151. No easier this time and is likely to struggle.
