Port Macquarie Race 7 - Panthers Port Macquarie (Bm58)
VIA VEGAS (2) led for the judge last start when resuming in the Country Championship qualifier over this course and distance but capitulated. Finds a far easier assignment today and his second-up record is sound. Everything points towards a much better run. SAVVYROCKER (3) was always behind the eight-ball after missing the kick last time out over 1250m at Taree. Down in class, draws a lovely gate, and is well in after Hull's claim so she gets the right conditions for a return to form. THE LUPERCAL (1) stormed home to get up for third when resuming over 1010m at Coffs Harbour recently. Won here in a similar race to this by over three lengths carrying 0.5kgs more last prep. Poses a serious threat. DUBALENE (13) returned from a spell with an emphatic win over 1000m at this track last start, the first run under new trainer Colt Prosser. Will enjoy the extra trip so another big run is on the cards. COCO DREAMING (4) is ready to peak fourth-up with winkers on for the first time.

Second run back. First-up after eight months sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 10 at Coffs Harbour Bm58 on March 1 over 1212m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Little Prophet carrying 59.5kg at $21. Previously second-up second last of 10 at Toowoomba Cl2 on March 1 2025 over 1200m, 8 len behind Monazel with 60kg at $18. Hasn't won for well over three years and didn't do enough first up to raise hopes.

Comes here off a 36-day let-up. Last start came from midfield and won by 0.5 len at this track Ctry Bm58 February 8 over 1206m defeating Aye Aye Skipper with 57.5kg at $26. The start before that failed to make an impression; ran last of 7 at Tuncurry Cl3 on January 17 over 1400m, in the wet; 13 len behind Highly Tempted carrying 56.5kg at $4.80. Heading the right way and can win again.

Resuming after a break of three-and-a-half months. Finished off last campaign third of 12 at Taree Bm58 December 1 over 1408m, 1.3 len behind Purple Kitty carrying 54.5kg at $17. Previously first up; fifth of 10 at this track F&M Bm58 October 11 over 1200m, 5 len behind All Too Rosey with 58.5kg at $11. Might need this hit-out.
