Newcastle Race 1

Betmgm Burradon Stakes (Listed)

Stake: $202,951

ROYAL PLAYWRIGHT (5) will find this easier than when beaten 9L over 1600m attempting the G1 Futurity Trophy at Doncaster in October. Showed good form prior and can return to winning ways representing a stable that can do no wrong at present. GLITTERING LEGEND (2) looked useful managing to win a Kempton 1600m conditions event on reappearance. Respect. Facile debut Kempton winner BOWMARK (1) commands respect up in standard racing for a top yard maintaining excellent form. TITANIUM EMPEROR (6) also needs to be considered.

Second-up. First-up after five months won by 0.8 len at Kempton Park All Weather March 29 over 1600m defeating Hawksbill with 61kg at $3.50. Previously second-up in a small field at Epsom Downs on September 29 over 1700m, in the wet; 4.5 len behind Too Soon with 59.5kg at $4. Another win looks on the cards. Terrific chance to continue the strong form.

Resuming. Not seen since he finished last of 8 at Doncaster in the G1 Futurity Trophy October 26 over 1600m, soft track; 9 len behind Hotazhell carrying 58.5kg at $9. At his first start won by 3 len Salisbury July 13 over 1400m defeating Original Outlaw with 60.5kg at $4. Much better result anticipated this line-up.
