Kempsey Race 6 - Steve Keir Memorial Showcase (Bm66)
HOME SIREN (8) is the horse to beat after resuming with a clear Class 1 win at Port Macquarie, scoring by just over three lengths as the odds-on favourite and taking her 1000m record to two wins from two starts. Her earlier run in the Listed Woodlands Stakes gives her form line more depth than most of these, and she profiles as the runner with the most upside. DAMAS (1) is the main danger if the return to 1000m brings a sharper finish; he was wide and keen when seventh at Eagle Farm, but his fifth in a Quality at Port Macquarie reads well for a BM66. A TOUCH FROM FAYT (9) has been racing consistently and was beaten just over a length at Port Macquarie, with barrier 1 giving her every chance to hold that form. SAVVYROCKER (7) has not won this season, but her two wins from two starts at this distance keep her in the minor-winning mix if she rebounds from recent sixths.

Worked wide and raced keenly when seventh at Eagle Farm last start, beaten four and a half lengths in a mid-week race that looks stronger than this. The start prior was sound in a Quality at Port Macquarie when only a length and a half from Pride To Follow. Back to 1000m with strong recent figures and rates a major threat.

Resumes after eight months off with a solid profile for this grade. He ended last preparation charging home for fourth in a BM82 at Grafton, beaten a long neck by Eagle Hawk Star after covering ground, and had earlier won a Class 3 at Taree as odds-on favourite. The claim helps and he has a genuine place profile.

Has been below his best at the past two, finishing last in an Open at Taree when beaten just over six lengths after a moderate finish. The start prior in a BM74 at Port Macquarie was only fair, and he was unwanted in betting there. The claim and easier grade help, but he has plenty to turn around.

Returns from a four-month break with past 1000m credentials, including a win at this track and distance. He ended last preparation sixth at Grafton, beaten four and a half lengths at long odds after being bumped and steadied late, and his prior heavy-track fifth at Taree was more competitive. Recent form before the break was mixed, has to find a few lengths.

Returns from a three-month break after a plain seventh at Coffs Harbour, where she was beaten just over seven lengths after settling back and covering ground without making inroads. Her previous Grafton win came at long odds, finishing over the top of Constellation, so there is ability there. The Grafton win prior gives hope, but she must rebound.

Resumes after six months off and has trialled at Beaumont (newcastle) last month, which gives her some readiness context. She ended last preparation with a disappointing Class 2 seventh at Port Macquarie as one near the top of betting, but her Class 1 win at Coffs Harbour two back on heavy ground was decisive. Her Coffs Harbour Class 1 win was strong, but the last-run flop tempers confidence.

Had some excuse when sixth at Port Mac last start, racing wide in the middle stages and being hampered late, though she was still safely held and started at generous odds. Two back she was sixth in an Open at Taree, beaten four and a half lengths at long odds. Recent form still keeps her to place claims.

Resumed in excellent order at Port Macquarie, winning a Class 1 by just over three lengths as the odds-on favourite and doing it with authority after leading into the straight. That followed a respectable eighth in the Listed Woodlands Stakes, where she was beaten only three and a half lengths at big odds. Listed form adds depth, and she looks the one to beat.

Went close at Port Mac last start, finishing second to Ex Wife and beaten just over a length after working into the race neatly. Her previous BM58 fifth at Lismore was also sound, only a length and a half away after sitting behind the leaders. Her 1000m record is solid and she brings a reliable recent profile.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a fair Open fourth at Bowraville, beaten just under two lengths with some market support after beginning slowly. His previous BM58 ninth at Taree was less encouraging, and at ten he is now relying on experience rather than progression. Strong 1000m history, but recent form leaves him with work to do.
