Tuncurry Race 2 - Macquarie Signs Mdn Plate
LA BELLA ROSA (10) is yet to fill a placing in five starts but the last three have been decent efforts at the provincials. Steps out beyond 1400m for the first time which looks a good move as she finds the line well. In the right race to finally get some runs on the board. PEAR BELLINI (7) has been in the money seven times from 13 runs and almost added an eighth last time out when a close fourth over 1400m at Taree. Goes well for M Bennett who is back aboard. Draws the fence and should run her usual honest race. EASY TRAPEZEE (2) has been freshened up since a modest effort over 1420m at Grafton a month ago. Lightly raced and not out of the contest. OUR PAPPY (1) has been showing tremendous pace before capitulating in shorter races of late. Interesting move to stretch to today's journey. Will give backers a sight. AELFWYNN (8) has been plain of late but might appreciate the blinkers going on.

At the latest run sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 9 at Port Macquarie Mdn on March 28 over 1008m, slow going 7 len behind Posh Annie carrying 59kg at $3.40. The run before that struggled in the run home; 7th of 9 at Taree Ctry Mdn-Sw on March 3 over 1300m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Casino Collection carrying 55kg at $20. Can turn things around in this more suitable contest.

On debut ran last of 7 at Taree Mdn June 30 over 1400m, soft track; 5 len behind Shackamaxon with 57.5kg at $12. Prefer to see how she returns.

At the latest run 6th of 9 at Port Macquarie Mdn-Sw on March 24 over 1500m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Chistota carrying 57kg at $51. The run before that 6th of 8 at Taree Ctry Mdn-Sw on March 10 over 1400m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Class Revolution carrying 57kg at $101. Hard to see her poor record changing today so preferring others.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 8 at Taree Ctry Mdn-Sw on March 10 over 1400m, on a slow track; 1.4 len behind Class Revolution with 55kg at $3. The run before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Taree Mdn-Sw on March 3 over 1600m, slow going 0.6 len behind King Country with 57kg at $2.20. Racing well in better maidens and must come into consideration over this longer journey.

Most recently 7th of 11 at Taree Cl1-Sw on March 10 over 1600m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Ngunnawal carrying 55kg at $51. The race before that eased back early on 5th of 10 at this track Mdn on February 21 over 1300m, 4 len behind Whiskers carrying 56kg at $5. Might be the big improver with blinkers going on for the first time.
