Port Macquarie Race 2 - Port City Bowling Club Mdn Plate
THUNDER LIGHTS (7) registered his third minor placing from seven career runs when an even third over the mile at Wyong recently. Less depth to this maiden, particularly with a few key scratchings. Great chance to open the account. PRINCE OF WANTS (5) enjoyed getting through the heavy ground at Taree last start, working home into third over 1262m. Plenty of improvement to come at just his third race start. Looks a key runner in a thin race. AMAZIGH TORQUE (8) opened her career with a couple of minor placings then lacked the dash required to be competitive over 1200m at the Sunshine Coast most recently. Looking for this sort of journey now so a better run is likely. FRICTIONAL FORCE (13) is fitter for three runs back from a spell and might fire up with the blinkers back on. CHERRY DREAM (16) is finding the line well so a longer trip today looks a good move.

At the latest run got back early 7th of 10 at Taree Mdn on May 12 over 1412m, on a wet track; 5.5 len behind Dam Impact with 56kg at $101. The race before that 6th of 12 at Taree Mdn-Sw on April 21 over 1614m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Optimal Moments carrying 59kg at $151. Doesn't make any appeal.

Second run back. First-up after nearly two years second last of 11 at Taree Cge Mdn-Sw on May 5 over 1262m, in the wet; 8 len behind Yesspecially carrying 59kg at $81. Previously second-up 4th of 10 at Coffs Harbour Mdn-Sw on May 31 2024 over 1205m, on heavy track; 4 len behind Tsunoda with 59kg at $61. Hard to get excited about his chances.

Form hard to fault. Last start sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 10 at Wyong Mid Mdn-Sw on April 30 over 1625m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Don't Tell Polly carrying 56.5kg at $4.80. The start before that 3rd of 12 at Taree Mdn-Sw on April 21 over 1614m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Optimal Moments with 58.5kg at $7.50. Racing well deep into the maiden prep and can feature again.

Last start eased back early on 7th of 10 at Sunshine Coast Mdn on April 25 over 1200m, slow going 6 len behind Toro Chase with 55.5kg at $13. The run before that came from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Grafton Ctry Mdn on April 7 over 1180m, 3 len behind Archie Maximus with 56.5kg at $6. Not without each-way claims.

Comes here off a 41-day let-up. At the latest run 6th of 8 at Grafton Mdn-Sw on April 7 over 1708m, 4.5 len behind Divine Effort with 58.5kg at $8. The run before that eased back early on 5th of 10 at Grafton Mdn-Sw on March 30 over 1720m, 1.3 len behind Kiss'n Dance carrying 58.5kg at $81. Worth another chance with the blinkers back on.

At the latest run ran last of 11 at Taree Cge Mdn-Sw on May 5 over 1262m, on a wet track; 17 len behind Yesspecially with 59kg at $61. Before that 9th of 11 at this track Mdn on April 26 over 1500m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Carmine carrying 56.5kg at $19. Doubt he will offer up too much of a challenge to the top few.

At the latest run 4th of 8 at Taree F&M Mdn-Sw on May 5 over 1262m, on a wet track; 2.25 len behind Koritsi with 58kg at $10. The race before that got back early 7th of 10 at Wellington F&M Mdn-Sw on April 10 over 1100m, 8 len behind She Thinks Ahead with 58kg at $31. Making headway. Promising signs last time so keep her in mind.
