Port Macquarie Race 1 - Beechwood Hotel (Bm66)
RUSSIAN ESCAPE (7) has not saluted since his maiden win in October 2025 but recent form has been solid. Came from worse than midfield on the corner to get up for second last start over 1400m at Coonabarabran. Drops 3 kg and the extra 100m is to his advantage. Great chance to break the drought. JASON DARREN (3) led for home but was probably a run short last time out when a tiring fourth in a similar race to this at Muswellbrook. Third-up today and has filled a placing at this stage of the prep at every attempt. Should give them something to catch. UNCLE HARRY (1) has been in work for a while and is finding wins hard to come by. Closed well to get up for second in the same race as JASON DARREN at Muswellbrook recently. Doubt he has room to improve on that run but another top three finish is on the cards. GOLDEN HONOUR (4) backs up six days after a decent fourth in the Kempsey Cup. Should be competitive at this level. ROSE WATER (2) can run a big race first-up from a 110-day spell.

Most recently sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 9 in a Bm66 at Muswellbrook on November 1 over 1500m, slow going 1.5 len behind Vltava with 60.5kg at $14. Before that 5th of 7 in a Mid Bm68 at Hawkesbury on October 15 over 1500m, slow going 2.5 len behind Showmara with 55kg at $10. Not far away last time. Won here at this trip at his only attempt so must be respected.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation second last of 10 at Randwick F&M Bm78 July 25 over 1800m, soft track; 8 len behind Satono Jasmine with 52kg at $21. When resuming last campaign third of 12 at Muswellbrook Bm58 March 27 over 1280m, soft track; 3 len behind Siragusa carrying 58.5kg at $4.60. Smart mare who can play a key role despite the gap between runs.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 4th of 11 in the Kempseycup Bm82 on November 6 over 1450m, on rain affected going; 3 len behind Golden Copper carrying 55kg at $6.50. Before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 11 in a Bm66 at Beaumont (Newcastle) on October 26 over 1350m, slow going 1.0 len behind Chestime carrying 58kg at $26. Going well this prep and is a threat on a six-day back-up.

Second run back. First-up after three months won by a long-neck in a Bm58 at Kempsey on November 6 over 1250m in heavy going defeating Fancy Shoulder carrying 56kg at $19. Previously second-up 7th of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Eagle Farm on July 23 2025 over 1400m, 3 len behind Ready For The Trip carrying 56.5kg at $41. Fitter and although up in grade she cannot be left out.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming ran last of 10 in a Bm58 at this track on September 27 over 1204m, 7 len behind Newy with 60kg at $26. Second run from a spell eased back early on 6th of 10 in a Ctry Cl1 at this track on October 9 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Wild Monarch carrying 57.5kg at $151. Fitter for two runs back from a spell and isn't hopeless.
