Taree Race 5 - Gloucester Cup July 9 (Bm58)
THUNDERING FALCON (10) starting to hit his straps as he gets deeper into the campaign and out in trip. Rounded them up with ease to score over 2245m at Grafton with plenty up the sleeve. Conditions suit and gets map favours again. YORIKIRI (4) back in trip and warmed up late with a plugging fifth over 1512m at Port Macquarie. Placed twice at this trip and not without solid each way claims on his preferred surface. PRINCE IS GAME (8) has a good record here and this looks a more suitable race after failing to make an impression when eighth over 2025m at Wyong. Can race much closer today and play a leading role. NATURE BOY (7) returned to form with a convincing on-pace victory over 1900m at Ballina in the heavy going. Well drawn and can give a ton of cheek again.
