Newcastle Race 4

Latin Lyric

Has been racing well since the blinkers came off this prep. Has been racing over 1100m and will enjoy getting out the 1200 here. Soft draw here and gets conditions to suit. Overs at the double figure quote.

1u Latin Lyric $6

Newcastle Race 6

Onedayclosertoyou

Last start 2nd 0.2L over 1300m here. 2 back won over 1400 and was very strong through the line. Only the debut effort on wet where she finished 1.8L off September Run. That first up effort rated better than her first up effort this prep. Should take up the running and set a slow gallop here. Lee Magorian saddling up on her over Born To Play has merit. Fitter and will be hard to beat.

1.5u Onedayclosertoyou $4.5

Born To Play

Looks the real danger here. She was a good thing beat 2 back at Newcastle. She’ll cross from the wide gate to be prominent here with Onedayclosertoyou. Can’t leave her out based on her efforts 2 back. Saver

0.5u Born to play $5.5

Newcastle Race 8

Major Murphy

Resumed for the new stable and won. Really extended out late running brilliant L200 figures. Should enjoy stepping out in distance here. Handles wet ground. Sticky draw but should improve off that first up run. Rough chance.

0.5u EW Major Murphy $21/4

Wagga Race 6

Affinity Beyond

Resumes here after 235 days off the scene. Very speedy mare who has a brilliant fresh record. Has blistering early speed and should take up the running here. Rates a clear top pick here. She will be very hard to beat.

3u Affinity Beyond $3
