Newcastle Race 5

Lees Racing (Bm64)

Prize Money: $42,000

GOLDEN SMILE (6) led all the way and recorded a devastating seven-length win over 2200m at the Beaumont track two back. Backed that up with a close second to MONTY BE QUICK over 2000m last time. Needs this longer journey and will be hard to beat. SO YOU READY (10) has been in work for a while and finding it hard to win. Even effort last time to finish a distant third over 2100m at the Beaumont. Drops 4.5kgs today and gives every indication he will run this longer journey right out. MONTY BE QUICK (3) led all the way and held off a determined GOLDEN SMILE when they clashed over 2000m at Hawkesbury recently. New to this trip which tips things away from him today, but he should be competitive. SOUTHERLY BUSTER (7) has been easily accounted for in recent runs but may show a bit more today with blinkers on for the first time. MEDIARO (5) races well here and can improve dropping back to provincial company.

Recent form sound. Most recently won by a neck at Hawkesbury Prov Bm64 February 19 over 2000m defeating Golden Smile carrying 56kg at $11. The run before that made ground from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Wyong Mid Bm64 on February 10 over 1350m, 4.5 len behind Piperita with 55.5kg at $17. Will give a great sight again.

Most recently 4th of 7 at Canterbury Bm64 on February 20 over 1900m, 1.75 len behind Goofinator carrying 58kg at $4.20. The run before that 4th of 10 at Gosford Bm64 on February 5 over 2100m, 1.5 len behind De Louviere carrying 59.5kg at $4.40. Going okay and on his best form will be highly competitive.

Racing well recently. Most recently sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 8 at Hawkesbury Prov Bm64 on February 19 over 2000m, neck behind Monty Be Quick with 58kg at $5.50. The race before that scored a big 7 len win at Beaumont (Newcastle) Cl1-Sw February 2 over 2200m in soft going defeating La Morra carrying 57kg at $3. Going very well and is the testing material.

Dual acceptor. At the latest run 7th of 10 at Warwick Farm Bm72 on February 18 over 2140m, 6 len behind Stylebender with 52kg at $9. Before that 2nd in a small field at Scone Bm66 on January 29 over 2200m, 8 len behind Spenzalot carrying 60.5kg at $2.10. Worth forgiving back at the provincials.
