Taree Race 2 - De Bortoli Country Boosted Mdn Plate
EXPENSIVE ICON (2) wasn't that far away on debut when anchored with the 59kg for a game third in the heavy conditions over 1000m at this track. Trained locally and can put these away over the 1250m. FASHION SPREE (10) slow into stride and chipped away late with a battling sixth over 1400m at this track. Senior rider hops on and the blinkers come off. Can race a touch closer and play a leading role. NULKABA STAR (6) sharp improver in stronger company with a fighting second over 1200m at Gosford in a Super Maiden. Finds an easier assignment and can overcome the awkward draw. ANTONUCCI (8) returned from a lengthy break with an even fourth over 1210m at Port Macquarie. Has further upside and not to be underestimated.

Most recently ran second last of 10 at this track Mdn on June 5 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 7 len behind Wootton Please with 55kg at $10. The start before that ran second last of 9 at Port Macquarie Super Mdn on April 26 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Rockbarton Marshal with 55kg at $26. Can't recommend until improvement is shown.

Most recently eased back early on 6th of 10 at this track Mdn on June 5 over 1400m, on heavy track; 3.5 len behind Wootton Please carrying 53kg at $3.80. The race before that 4th of 7 at Port Macquarie Mdn-Sw on May 27 over 1500m, on heavy track; 6 len behind Microgravity carrying 57kg at $5. Back in trip and the blinkers come off, worth another chance.

Having third race start. At very long odds at debut, sat behind the speed prior to fading ran second last of 9 at Scone Ctry 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on May 31 over 900m, in the wet; 10 len behind Flirtation carrying 54kg at $101. Last start failed to make an impression; 6th of 8 at Muswellbrook F&M Mdn-Sw on June 12 over 1280m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Royal Chic with 58kg at $101. Slim place contender.
