Sydney racing heads up the M1 to Newcastle for their yearly Hunter meeting. Our analyst has found a freshened mare dropping back from G3 company and a Godolphin mare coming out of a strong midweek race as the value selection.
Best Selection: R5- Watch My Girl
Watch My Girl looks very well placed dropping back in grade. She drops back in trip on a 4-week freshen up after she was far from disgraced in the G3 Angst Stakes at Randwick. She settled further back than usual and worked home fairly along the inferior inside ground to finish 3.3L 8th in a bunched finish.
She was 2 from 2 at the midweeks leading up to that run. Her versatility will be an asset in a race that doesn’t appear to have much pace. The 4 weeks between runs should help dropping back from 1600m.

Value Selection: R10- Inhibitions
Inhibitions comes out of a Kensington race dominated by Briasa. She was slow away and forced to settle at the rear before working home nicely for 2nd. She was 2nd in the Listed Queensland Day at Eagle Farm back in the winter and looks a good value play to end the day.
