Port Macquarie Race 2 - Great Northern Hotel Kempsey Plate (C1)
KAHRABA (9) handy mare who should prove too good for these. Went back from the wide draw and circled the field with a tenacious sixth over 1625m at Wyong. Has the class to take care of this field and proven at the trip. CASTELLE (8) bounced off her good first-up third with a dominant Maiden win over 1500m at this track. Will have little trouble running the trip and confidence is high. SMOKEY SAINT (6) chipped away late from back in the field with a plugging seventh over 1500m at this track. Ready for this and not to be underestimated. LONE STAR DREAM (3) produced a handy set of figures when breaking his Maiden status over 1600m at Tamworth. Starting to hit his straps and not to be underestimated. BOLD SPLENDOR (7) has her hoof on the till fourth-up after finishing in the minor money at her last two starts.
