Newcastle Race 2

Dalton Partners Mdn Plate

Stake: $46,200

DAMIEN (8) was provincial placed on debut and has been tuned up for a return with two solid trials. With a low draw and a light weight comes right into contention. ZANJEER (7) debuts as a three-year-old off two fair trials. With a soft draw in a small field can measure up. BABYFACED ASSASSIN (2) has solid race experience on his side and backs up quickly from his latest run. Slightly back in trip can easily post a better number now. ADEEL IT'S A STEAL (1) is bred for longer trips but two recent trials have been ultra-competitive. Can't be ruled out. PASSALACQUA (4) finds a much kinder draw than his first-up run and the added trip suits. Should be running on late.

Comments

Three-year-old gelding (Dundeel - Stroak) will no doubt benefit from the four trials leading in today's debut. Was third in a Randwick barrier trial over 1050m on March 28. Can measure up on debut.

Had two starts to date. At big odds at debut, 3rd of 8 at Kembla Grange Mdn-Sw on March 14 over 1200m, slow going 4.5 len behind Lyles with 57kg at $26. Last start 5th of 9 at Canberra Mdn-Sw on April 2 over 1400m, on a slow track; 4 len behind November Air carrying 58.5kg at $5.50. Deserves each-way consideration.

Second-up. First-up after five months got back early 5th of 8 at Gosford Cg&E Mdn on March 27 over 1100m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Imperial State carrying 58kg at $7. Previously second-up 2nd of 11 at Muswellbrook Mdn-Sw on September 10 over 1500m, 1.75 len behind Fiftyfivechevy with 56.5kg at $7. Won't be far away with a repeat of that latest performance.
