Newcastle Race 3 - Hunter Signs Mdn Plate
WIRE TO WIRE (10) should have come on since a one run spring debut campaign. Resumes in a race thin on form with two trials under his belt. Looks ideally placed. MATETE (4) is rock-hard fit and held his margin late in the race last time. Drawn to get every chance up in trip. Watch for any market moves on PROCEAN (7) first up with a few gear tinkers. TAWFIQ TOM (9) was only fair last start but has been kept safe by the market and is worth another chance.
