Newcastle
- Race 1: #8 Taksu
TAKSU put the writing on the wall two back and was a dominant winner last time. He has a good racing pattern and will be hard to run down again here.
- Race 2: #13 Money From The Sky
The races don’t get much easier. MONEY FROM THE SKY is a horse that has plenty of ability. He’s been a bit disappointing since running so well on debut at Kensington and starting favourite against Profondo at start 2 but getting up to this trip now on the back of a confidence building win could be the making of him. He got through the Heavy well and looks a live hope
- Race 3: #10 Promise Of Success
Promise Of Success will be one to charge home late here. She needs things to go her way but is very talented and can win.
- Race 4: #9 The Frontman
Happy to have something on THE FRONTMAN at a very big price here. He’s 2 from 3 on the heavy and has plenty of upside. He maps to get in a perfect position and loved the way he trialled leading in here for the new stable.
- Race 5: #11 Duais
Hard to not like the way DUAIS is going about it currently and if she sees out a strong 2400m, she’s the horse to beat again. She was fantastic in the Chipping Norton, despite running 6th, having absolutely no luck and unlucky not to win.
- Race 6: #2 Hinged
HINGED doesn’t have to be as far off them as she was in a Group 1 Coolmore last time from her perfect barrier. Brenton Avdulla jumps back on board after riding her to victory in the Group 1 Surround Stakes two back. This filly ran 12.28 home in the Coolmore against the older horses, a race fastest in what was a super run. Maps perfectly, in form, in form jockey and hard to beat
- Race 7: #18 Maotai
MAOTAI looks the leader and he’ll be hard to beat. The 3YO form hasn’t really stacked up but this horse has gone to another level this campaign and has a great racing pattern.
