Port Pirie Race 1

Rose Shephard Memorial (Sky 2)

Stake: $4,950

COCO MIA (4) is having her first start back from a spell of five-and-a-half months but flies fresh, winning all five first-up attempts. Also owns strong records at both the venue and the distance. Can maintain the perfect fresh record. TEMBIE (5) won here two back then was runner-up from this barrier at his latest appearance at Kapunda. Goes very well at this venue and distance with five wins and two placings from eight attempts. Threat. BULLY BOURNE (3) did some work last start but won two of his previous three attempts so is worth another chance. FULL BROTHER (8) last appeared when third at Newcastle six months ago. Must be respected for the new yard.

Didn't do much at the last run, 5th (Fr4) over 2230m at Globe Derby Park beaten 11 m by Budding Caesar (2:48.50) in NR 55 to 69 on March 29 at $12. Before that 6th (Sr2) over 2050m at this track, beaten 20 m by Tembie (2:28.50) in NR 55 to 69 on March 25 at $151. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

Didn't do much last start, 9th (Fr3) over 2610m at Kapunda, beaten 45 m by Honeybun (3:12.50) in No NR on March 31 at $151. Before that 4th (Fr3) over 2050m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track was 3rd-4m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 17 m by Tembie (2:28.50) in NR 55 to 69 on March 25 at $151. Will not find this easy. Facing a tough assignment.

Last start was well beaten into fifth after showing early speed, behind Tembie at this track over 2050m in a NR 55 to 69 on March 25 at $8. Performed better the start before where he posted a big 12 m win after showing early speed, (Fr3) overraced, at Globe Derby Park (2:11.30) beating Stereophonic in NR 50 to 57 on March 18 at $4.60 at the bell was leading 3.3m on the pegs. Capable of playing a major role.

Returns after five-and-a-half months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into ninth after showing early speed, behind Aintsobad at Gawler over 2070m in a 4yo+ NR up to 69 on October 20 at $1.55. Previous preparation first-up posted a big 3.5 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at Globe Derby Park (2:16.70) beating Buzz Bomb in No NR on June 24 at $1.22. Can maintain a perfect first-up record.

Last start game effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr5) over 1800m at Kapunda, at the bell was 5th-9m 2WWC beaten a head by Classic Line (2:10.20) in NR 58 to 69 on March 31 at $3.10. Two runs back won by 1.5 m (Sr1) held up early, at this track (2:28.50) beating Scoob Operator in NR 55 to 69 on March 25 at $6 at the bell was 5th-8.3m 2WWC. Rates highly. Course and distance record is strong so the good form should carry on.
