Port Macquarie Race 2 - Caroma Industries Mdn Plate
BOUND FOR KOS (8) will find this a little easier than his debut second two weeks ago, beaten a nose at the end of 1010m at Moruya. Sure to take a lot from that run and will prove tough to beat. LYKOS (7) missed the placings two runs back then settled well back last start when 7 lengths away in tenth over 1110m at this track. Finds the right race this time and can take this out. HABIB ALBI (2) ran very well first up then sat on the pace before fading to finish fifth last time out over 1250m at Taree. Can bounce back to his best form. AIRBURST (5) is a nine-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at Taree over 1250m, beaten 3.5 lengths. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old gelding by Adelaide out of Brazenbrook. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 1000m at Wyong June 17. Prefer to see under race conditions.

At the latest run ran last of 10 at this track Ctry Mdn-Sw on June 14 over 1110m, on a slow track; 7 len behind August Rush carrying 57kg at $71. Before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 8 at this track Ctry Mdn on May 27 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 5.5 len behind Polymer with 56kg at $18. Capable on her day and is not out of it.

Was well-supported at debut, 2nd of 9 at Moruya Mdn-Sw on June 19 over 1010m, slow going nose behind Won For Vicki with 56.5kg at $4. Big chance with that race experience to prove invaluable.
