Newcastle Race 4 - Manning Valley Free Range Eggs Midway Mdn Hcp
PEACE AT LAST (2) defied the market at Canterbury on debut when beaten just 1.4L pushing forward. Maps well and keeps a small claim. Can open winning account this time. BETTER BLOOM (4) settled back over 1200m at Goulburn on debut and turned in an eye-catching effort when beaten 1.4L. Draws inside here and the winkers go on. Should improve again and has claims. ZOUGOTME (10) peaks off two solid efforts at Kembla Grange. That form stacks up and he also has winning claims. ARCTIC BRIGHT (6) resumes and impressed when narrowly beaten at Canberra when last seen. Has a 2kg claim and the blinkers on for the first time. Has been well prepared for her return. UNJUST (9) was sharply better on the Beaumont a month ago and gets in light with the 3kg claim. Worth a look.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old colt by So You Think out of My Country purchased for AUD $ 30,000 (Inglis 2024 HTBA Yearling Sale). At the most recent trial finished sixth at Hawkesbury over 800m. Prefer to see before recommending.

First starter by Star Witness out of Jahanara. Has a total of two trials leading in today's debut. Unlikely to find enough improvement to trouble these.

Was at big odds at debut, ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 9 at Goulburn Mdn-Sw on January 27 over 1200m, 1.4 len behind Curado carrying 55.5kg at $31. Improver who looks ideally placed here. Likely to improve sharply and looks hard to beat.

Resuming after a five months break. Finished off last preparation fourth of 11 at Canberra Mdn-Sw September 19 over 1300m, 1.4 len behind Felis Chaus with 55kg at $21. On debut fifth of 7 at Warwick Farm 3yo Mdn August 20 over 1100m, on rain affected going; 11 len behind Burma Star carrying 53kg at $21. Capable of a bold return.
