Bowraville Race 6

Bowra Hotel Bowraville Cup

Prize Money: $30,000

NAILS AND PRIDE (1) sets the standard after a sound third in Benchmark 66 grade at Grafton, beaten a length and a half under 62.5kg and now meeting this with a lighter impost and a strong jockey-horse record in his corner. XTRA APPROVAL (5) was plain at Tuncurry over 1500m, but his previous Taree fourth, beaten half a length at long odds, is a very competitive reference and the back in trip angle gives him a clear rebound case. HE'S GODSPEED (6) brings consistent heavy-track Taree form around 1614m, including a last-start fifth beaten two lengths, and the drop to 55kg is a genuine asset if he returns sharp enough. GET SOME FUN (4) will be fitter for recent racing and is better placed.

Comments

Lifted at Grafton last start when third in a Benchmark 66, beaten a length and a half after tracking the speed and finishing strongly under 62.5kg. The Gold Coast run prior was only even, but he now drops to 59kg, gets Archie McColm back with a strong record aboard, and has four wins at the distance. Wide barrier is the query, but the form stacks up.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comments

Was again safely held at Tuncurry last week, finishing seventh in a Benchmark 74 over 1200m after settling rearward and conceding too much start. He was last in the same grade over 1000m two back and unwanted in the market both times. Needs the longer trip and gear change to spark major improvement.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing eighth at Taree, beaten just over three lengths, where he raced keenly and failed to finish off. The Coffs Harbour Quality run prior was poor, beaten over 13 lengths, though he has since trialled at Coffs Harbour and owns a solid distance record. Distance record is sound, but recent form keeps him to the place mix.

Comments

Had excuses at Tuncurry last week when sixth in a Benchmark 74, beaten just under five lengths after jumping awkwardly and losing her position. Her Tamworth Benchmark 82 run two back was also only fair after being bumped early, so the winning edge has not been there this campaign. Good-track record gives her place claims.

Can rebound from a plain Tuncurry run where he finished second last over 1500m, beaten just under five lengths, with no clear excuse. His previous Taree fourth was far better, beaten half a length at long odds despite covering ground. Back in trip and claim make him a live chance.

Comments

Returns from a two-month break after finishing fifth in a Benchmark 58 at Taree over 1614m on heavy ground, beaten two lengths after making the running and tiring late. The run prior at the same track and trip was a close third, again on heavy going. Weight relief and the shorter trip keep him right in play.

Comments

Had genuine excuses at Coffs Harbour six days ago when seventh in a Benchmark 58, beaten just under three lengths, after being checked, held up near the 350m and still charging home. That was a sharp improvement on his Grafton failure over 1630m, where he weakened badly. Proven at the trip, but still needs to lift again from Benchmark 58 grade.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace
