Newcastle Race 5

Damar Minyak Df Super Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $60,000

BLUE WILLOW (3) gets her chance now after two minor placings of late. Kept at the task on a wet track in latest and the added trip third up looks just right. Pay to follow now. INVISIBLE MAGIC (4) defied the market to run out of her skin first up after some plain trials. At a similar trip must be considered. LUNE D'EXCELLENCE (6) can only benefit from more ground after steaming home first up. Upside type who could easily knock this off at just start three. OAKFIELD ZENA (7) finished in the money last start running second at Gosford and should strip fitter second up, expected to run well.
