Taree Race 3 - Functions @ Mvrc Country Boosted Mdn Plate
VARAZZE (10) finally gave a glimpse of what she's capable of with a game on-pace second over 1400m at this track. Well placed again and expected to go close with Smyth's 3kg claim. MOONLIGHT DIVA (8) knocked up late from the lengthy spell to finish seventh over 1420m at Grafton. Had to do a stack of work last start and gets a much better set-up for this. Likely improver. ARTIE'S MAGIC (13) consistent gelding who doesn't have to improve much to win this. Sat on the strong tempo with a fighting third over 1280m at Muswellbrook. Likely to come out positive from the wide gate and sure to be thereabouts. FOXY PRAGUE (4) was a month between runs when he made a little ground late to secure fifth over 1250m at this track. Fitter now and looks the value play in the race.

Second run back. First-up after five months 6th of 11 at this track Mdn-Sw on April 9 over 1250m, slow going 4 len behind Rubick Dancer carrying 59kg at $201. Previously second-up got back early 9th of 13 at Port Macquarie Ctry Mdn on October 11 over 1500m, 8 len behind Faiza Star with 56.5kg at $61. Didn't do enough first up to raise hopes.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, 6th of 8 at this track Mdn on April 9 over 1000m, slow going 5 len behind Jasira with 56.5kg at $101. Strips fitter and should appreciate the extra ground.

Second-up. First start 6th of 8 at Coffs Harbour Ctry Mdn-Sw on September 4 over 1412m, on a slow track; 2.75 len behind Maggie Rose with 55kg at $3.40. Went for a spell before returning 7th of 12 at Grafton Ctry Mdn on March 30 over 1420m, 4.5 len behind Graceful Warrior with 55.5kg at $7.50. Rates highly from the good gate.

Form hard to fault. Most recently held ground to the line 3rd of 8 at Muswellbrook Ctry Mdn on April 6 over 1280m, on a slow track; 0.5 len behind Whittello Sun with 58kg at $10. The run before that second last in a small field at Coffs Harbour Mdn on March 9 over 1412m, on rain affected going; 5 len behind Headstream with 58.5kg at $2.50. Making headway. Due for a change of luck and must overcome the wide draw, each way.
