Newcastle Race 2

Wyong Roos Foundation Mdn Hcp

Prize Money: AUD $42,000

ROYALIFY (4) has no excuses today fourth-up back to the 1350m. Should be able to get control early from the wide gate and prove hard to run down after struggling to see the mile out at Hawkesbury on April 18. BERTIE (6) well-bred seven-start maiden who finally showed something when plowing through the heavy (10) conditions to finish second over this trip at Wyong on May 2. Clearly done well and expected to stalk the speed. Go close. MEERUT (9) much better performance when ridden cold before swooping late to run third over 1200m at Gosford on April 25. Placed this trip and has top-three prospects. FIFTH FORCE (5) made an even return when ran on late to finish fifth over 1250m at Newcastle on April 24. Extra distance suits and King keeps the ride.

Racing well. Last start 4th of 8 at Hawkesbury Mdn on April 18 over 1600m, slow going 4.5 len behind Platinum Asset carrying 58kg at $1.80. The start before that came from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Newcastle Prov Mdn-Sw on April 6 over 1500m, in the wet; 2.5 len behind Trajectile with 58.5kg at $2.90. Capable of a better run back to the 1350m.

Last start 3rd of 11 at Gosford Mid 4yo+ Mdn on April 25 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.0 len behind Tartana with 56kg at $21. The start before that failed to make an impression; ran last of 10 at Newcastle Mdn on April 3 over 1250m, slow going 10 len behind Inquisitive Legend carrying 53.5kg at $61. Good job last start and has top-three aspirations.
