Tuncurry Race 5 - Mid Coast Automotive Plate (C1)
Tricky race. HELIOPHILE (11) is a five-start maiden who could only manage to finish ninth at his latest appearance over 1106m at Port Macquarie after he gave away a big start. Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice with the winkers going on. DON'T SHARE SHAMUS (7) is yet to break through in five runs. Finished sixth at his last appearance over 1600m at Wyong on February 10. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. TORPEDO TED (10) is a eight-start maiden who could only manage to finish 11th at his latest appearance over 2000m at Canberra after he got a long way back in the run. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him. KAVAL (8) is a five-year-old gelding who has just one minor placings to his name in 18 starts. Never a threat when resuming last start over 1100m at Gosford, finishing 10 lengths from the winner in eighth. Capable of featuring. The chances don't end there.
