Race 4: Maiden Handicap 1400m
HAUT BRION HER (3) Nice run by her on debut settling just off the leaders and working to the line well to narrowly go down. Should only be fitter for that effort and was a good trial winner prior to debut effort. Extra distance is a plus and JMac stays on for the ride. Looks very hard to beat today.
Dangers:
CHECKSUM (6) Two trials leading into Newcastle debut were sound where she held her ground to the line then was again good to the line second up at Hawkesbury as a short priced favourite. Should take up the lead and be right in the finish. COLDITZ (1) On debut for the Waller yard where a recent trial was good. Tommy Berry takes the ride and was met with early support when markets went up. Keep an eye on betting
Race 5: BM 70 Handicap 2200m
MISS SHANTI (2) She has been ultra consistent this preparation. On a quick back up from last week here where Im not a 100% she handle the heavy track, however still battled on well to hold third. The starts prior was a good run behind the flying Sky Boy. Gets in well after the claim and sure to be in the finish today.
Dangers:
GAMBLESTOWN (1) The last four runs have been sound without winning in grade that is equal for higher than is meeting today. Two starts back made very good ground from the tail to run a placing behind the inform Sky Boy. From a strong stable and can make presence felt with the right run. TINKER DAN (6) Well backed last start and failed to get through the heavy track. Previous runs were good. Drawn to get a nice run and can be in the finish today in what is a tricky event. DEVIL’S LAIR (9) Another who failed in the heavy conditions last start and previous form was good on a firmer surface. From a strong stable and can bounce back today.
Race 6: BM 70 Handicap 1400m
CHARLAYNE (1) Given a quiet trial prior to today’s first up assignment. Fresh record is good and competed well in a lot higher grade than is meeting today. Three starts back was just over 3 lengths off Houzten which is very strong form for a race of this class. If ready to go should be winning this.
Dangers:
KATGULLY RED (8) First up and a recent trial at Scone was good. Lightly raced and form was good in similar grade. JMac with the ride and looks over the odds. MISS INVINCIBLE (10) Four runs back from a spell and should be at peak fitness. Last two starts have been good run placings on pace. McEvoy takes the ride and I like her back at this level. Can feature. PRO CONSUL (11) Old timer who’s last two starts have been good getting back and running on well. Races well and at this trip. Can sneak into the placings again.
Race 7: BM 70 Handicap 1100m
POETIC CHARMER (4) Fitter for two runs back from a spell and last start was a strong on pace winner at Canterbury leading and kicking strongly in the straight as a well supported favourite. Drawn to be able to take a forward position again and Tommy Berry takes the ride. From strong yard and has come back well. Goes close.
Dangers:
THY KINGDOM COME (3) Fitter for two runs back from a spell and last start was good on pace running second in a very quick time 1400m event. Drawn well and form is strong. SCHOOLMATES (12) First up and recent trial was good and JMac gets the ride. Two starts back was a good winner at WYong over a long trip. Expecting to be running on hard late. ZEPPELIN (13) Bong Bong cup winner last start and fitter for three runs back from a spell which have all been very good. From the strong Waterhouse hard. Will be thereabouts again.
