Taree Race 6 - 12 May Gloucester Cup (Bm66)
VILLA CASTINA (7) nice filly with her hoof on the till third-up. Warmed up late with a tidy third over 1600m at Gosford. Has the class to build on that encouraging effort and looks set for a good campaign. OFF THE SCALE (4) placed in Highway class last time in and should be at her top for this fourth-up. Jumped in trip with a battling eighth over 1890m at Newcastle. Improver here with the 3kg claim. Go close. TALANA (2) big improver on the firmer surface when back in grade for a fighting head win over 1500m at Port Macquarie in BM58 class. Ticks a few boxes again and sure to be thereabouts. PRINCE IS GAME (12) closed strongly at latest for a most improved second over 1600m here. Doesn't get the same map favours today but capable of taking a hand in the finish.

Last start won by a head at Port Macquarie Ctry Bm58 March 24 over 1500m on a soft track defeating Super Jaie carrying 59kg at $10. The start before that failed to make an impression; ran last of 9 at Coffs Harbour Bm82 on March 9 over 1612m, in the wet; 12 len behind Supreme Command with 55kg at $7. Confidence back and worth thought again.

Most recently 7th of 11 at Muswellbrook Bm58 on April 6 over 1450m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Oakfield Alaska with 60.5kg at $41. The race before that 6th of 12 at Armidale Bm58 on March 13 over 1300m, on a slow track; 1.4 len behind Denetta carrying 61.5kg at $8. Likely to find this out of reach.

The run before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at Scone Bm66 on March 20 over 1600m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Antilocapra with 56kg at $7. Drops in trip and well placed with the 3kg claim.
