AU - Barcaldine - Race 2

POTESTAS (9) finished strongly last start when third over 5f at this track, beaten by just over a length, and he continues to build up his fitness. He drops further in class here, and will have the services of Paul Hamblin this time, which is always a plus in this area. On top. STEP TO SUCCESS (4) resumes from a long spell of well over a year, and she makes her debut from the local Bevan Johnson stable. The market will be the best guide for this former talented mare. BOOM BOOM BAY (1) is fresh up for a new local trainer, and he will find the company here more to his liking. He comes to hand quickly and can take this out. IMMINENT BOOM (2) was well supported last time when finishing third over 6f at Longreach, and he is capable of going one better in a similar contest. VALIANT JOAN (6) scored two starts ago and she was not far away last start when finishing sixth here. She slides back slightly in class, and she can bounce straight back into the money.
