Port Macquarie Race 1 - Melbourne Cup @ Port City Bowling Club Country Boosted Hcp (C1)
CONFEDERATE LADY (6) is back from a four-month spell. Opened last prep with a close third in a similar race to this at Ballina then again finished less than a length from the winner over this course and distance at the next run. Can win with a little luck from the awkward gate. ARGYROS (2) was impressive on debut last start over this distance at Taree where he pinged straight to the front then ran them off their legs in the soft going. Only needs to do something similar on top of the ground to test this field. INVINCIBLE WHIP (1) returned from a spell last time out in a comparable race to this and really caught the eye late in the piece, getting up for second. Plenty of pace here which will suit - watch for another big finish. MR DAMAGE (4) was third in the same race as INVINCIBLE WHIP here recently. Has been up for a while so improvement limited. One for the exotics. CRAZY MIKKI (5) resumes. Placed two from two when fresh and is a winner here so her credentials are good.

Recent form sound. Last start made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 11 at this track Ctry Cl1 on September 28 over 1006m, 2.5 len behind El Beatle with 57.5kg at $3.90. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 at Bowraville Cl1 on September 20 over 1000m, on a wet track; 1.5 len behind Miss Molokai carrying 57kg at $2. Starting to put things together and should be thereabouts.

Mare back from a spell of four months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last preparation fifth of 12 at Ballina Bm58 June 12 over 1000m, on heavy track; 12 len behind Make It So carrying 57kg at $3.10. Previously first up; third of 8 at Ballina Ctry Cl1 April 8 over 1000m, on heavy track; 0.7 len behind Pareto with 56.5kg at $4.20. This is an ideal race to kick off. Handy mare set for a bright return.
