Newcastle Race 3

Ben 'Gucci Potts' Cup Super Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $60,000

SNITZEL MISS (8) has been ridden quietly then worked home well in her two runs this prep, the latest over 1250m at Canterbury. Will enjoying getting to a roomier track today and should be peaking at this stage of the campaign. PEACE BIRD (7) was five weeks between runs when she made late ground to finish second over this distance at the Illawarra Grange circuit last time out. Will benefit greatly from that hit-out - sure to be there at the business end. FUNSHOW (2) returned from a three-month spell and made it four minor placings from as many starts when he battled on for a distant third over this trip at Wyong 44 days ago. Kept ticking over since with an easy trial win at the Beaumont track. Draws the fence so everything points to a big run. IMINASTATE (9) has been easily accounted for at both runs to date. Will find this a lot easier than last time so don't rule him out. STABILITY (3) is also in the mix from a good gate off a six-week let-up.

Second-up. Comes off a 44-day let-up. First-up after three months 3rd in a small field at Wyong Super Mdn-Sw on April 30 over 1300m, slow going 5 len behind I Am Adonis carrying 58.5kg at $3.90. Previously second-up 2nd of 11 at Gosford Prov Mdn on January 9 over 1200m, 1.0 len behind Firework carrying 59kg at $2.30. Genuine gelding who is shaping up nicely and is among the chances.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd of 8 at Illawarra Grange F&M Mdn-Sw on May 30 over 1300m, slow going 2.25 len behind Rose Of Fenway carrying 58kg at $2.40. Before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at Gosford 3yo Mdn-Sw on April 25 over 1200m, long-neck behind Go Glenn with 54kg at $3.20. Should be nice and fit fourth up and can break through.

Dual acceptor. Third race start today. At big odds at debut, 5th of 14 at Scone 2&3yo Mdn on May 15 over 1100m, 4 len behind Cormier carrying 56.5kg at $26. Second-up got back early 5th of 9 at Rosehill 2yo Hcp on May 30 over 1300m, on heavy track; 7 len behind Tron Bolt with 54kg at $31. Improvement to come and looks a good top-three prospect.
