Newcastle Race 1

Cleanaway Mdn Hcp

Prize Money: $42,000

MYSTERIOUS MASTER (5) is a leader who trialled well before his 1.5L defeat at Hawkesbury first-up. He's placed as favourite on a heavy track at Kembla Grange prior and will present fitter. Has a 1.5kg claim, and on what we've seen, he's the one to beat. CURADO (2) won all three metro trials before a 3L defeat at Gosford on debut when he was heavily bet to win. He's going to be sharper with that under the belt and retains the 1.5kg claim. Supporters will be sticking. Wary of Waller-trained MONOPOLISTIC (4) on debut. He's been well educated and has impressed with a win and a near miss at his two recent metro trials. Draws inside, and a bold run is likely. NOBLE (6) was well in the market but settled too far back at Scone on debut. He went well enough to suggest he can fill out the first four.

Was well-supported at debut, 3rd in a small field at Gosford Mdn-Sw on November 22 over 1100m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Diacon with 56kg at $1.95. Sure to play a major role.

Three-year-old gelding (Savabeel - Bayrock) will no doubt benefit from the six trials leading in today's debut. Was second in a Canterbury barrier trial over 1100m December 2. A bold run is on the cards.

Second-up. First-up after six months 4th of 9 at Hawkesbury Super 3yo Mdn-Sw on November 27 over 1300m, 1.5 len behind Good Hotspur carrying 57kg at $3.80. Previously second-up 2nd in a small field at Kembla Grange 2yo Mdn-Sw on May 31 over 1000m, on heavy track; 1.75 len behind Point Score with 57kg at $2.90. Well-placed to take this out.

Was well in the market at debut, eased back early on 7th of 12 at Scone Mdn-Sw on November 18 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Azure Angel with 57.5kg at $4.40. Fitter and won't be too far away.

Having third race start. At debut, didn't do much in the run home; 9th of 11 at this track Mdn-Sw on October 27 over 1150m, 6 len behind Snowslide carrying 56.5kg at $21. Second-up held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at Muswellbrook Mdn on November 28 over 1000m, 1.3 len behind Vittozzi carrying 58kg at $8.50. Not the worst.
