Taree is the destination for country racing in New South Wales on Sunday afternoon, with a competitive eight-race program set for decision. The rail is out +3m for the entire circuit, and although the track is rated a Heavy 10 at the time of acceptances, a mostly sunny forecast in the lead-up should mean an upgrade into the Soft range. The action is scheduled to get underway at 12:05pm AEST.
Best Bet at Taree: Éclair Encore
Éclair Encore looks prepared for a first-up assault on the back of two impressive barrier trials. The daughter of Maurice hit the line well under strong riding at Gosford on May 27, suggesting she’s wound up and ready to go for the Kris Lees barn. Andrew Gibbons will look to be positive from barrier six in this small field, and provided Éclair Encore can cross without doing too much work, the two-year-old should give a strong account of herself on debut.

#7 Éclair Encore (6)

Next Best at Taree: Markwell Dreamer
Markwell Dreamer takes a dramatic step back in grade after contesting BM78 level at Newcastle on May 11. He was far from disgraced on that occasion, as he travelled on the worst part of the track throughout the 900m journey and couldn’t make inroads on the Heavy 10 surface. The improving conditions by the final race should be ideal, and although he’ll need to lug 62.5kg after the claim of Shae Wilkes, Markwell Dreamer has the class to get the job done.

Best Value at Taree: Kordia
After being transferred from the Lindsay Smith barn, Kordia makes his debut for the Kris Lees stable in this wide-open BM82. He’s only produced one piece of work since heading north from Victoria, with the lightly raced son of Epaulette winning a jump-out at Muswellbrook on May 15. He did it comfortably while racing under his own steam, and provided he can replicate that trial form, Kordia should give a bold sight at each-way odds with online bookmakers.
Best Value
Race 4 – 
#1 Kordia (8)
7yo Gelding | T: Kris Lees | J: Benjamin Osmond (a1.5kg) (63kg)
