Port Macquarie Race 2 - Summer Barefoot Bowls @ Port City Bowling Club Mdn Plate
BLIGHTY BOY (9) ran well in the market at his only outing at Newcastle so this theoretically should be easier. Has trialled very strongly in readiness for this race. From the barrier has to be the first one to note. DIRTY DANI (4) showed enough at her last runs when leading to say she has to be a factor. Has been close up in both trials as well. RUBINSKY (6) will be better placed sitting up on the speed. She hasn't drawn well but any luck early sees her right there for some time. HALCYON BELLE (13) did a nice job behind a good horse on debut. The betting will tell the tale. MY SWEETHEART (5) should be one of the leaders.
