Barcaldine Race 3 - Michael Horman (Bm55)
LOVE CHILD (1) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish fifth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1100m at Armidale. Will be tough to hold out. POTESTAS (8) was in the money first up then met with strong support last time but could only manage sixth over 1050m at Blackall. Rates highly and is right in the mix. BLANC DE NOIR (2) returned from a spell four weeks ago when she was beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 1010m at Moruya. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. SPEC OF SILVER (3) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1050m at Blackall, beaten 2 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing.
