Port Macquarie Race 1 - Dux Hot Water Mdn Hcp
TESORINO (9) failed to figure again when fifth over 1000m at Tamworth. Fitter now in a weaker race with the blinkers and tongue-tie going on. Can atone from the inside draw. THE MICHAEL (6) missed the placings when resuming two runs back, then didn't feature last start when tenth in the heavy going over 1305m at Tuncurry. Improver. TASSIE LEE (3) has not raced since her debut on July 10 over 1000m at Gosford when she finished seventh. Fitted with the two trials and can go on with it this time in. IN BOCCA AL LUPE (2) on the quick back-up after he finished fifth at his most recent outing over 1000m at Taree. No surprise if he figured in the finish.

First starter by Adelaide - Sophony. Hasn't set the track alight with her trials leading into today's race. Hasn't shown a great deal in trials, prefer others.
