Newcastle Race 5 - Dillon & Sons Dungog Dash Provincial (Bm68)
Flying mare GIRLS WEEKEND (5) has led for the judge at all four runs this prep, with one win two back over 1010m at Moruya. Coming back to 900m looks a dream scenario. Has a wide gate but will ping the lids, cross and lead, and prove tough to reel in. SHALL BE (1) has raced three times this prep, all in town, and struggled to make any impact. Very fit and coming into a 900m race here is the key as he has won three from four over this sharp Newcastle journey. CASHAWAY GOLD (2) returned from a ten-month break with a tough all-the-way win over 1007m at Taree recently. Took a while to put it together but is unbeaten in her last three. Probably takes a sit from the wide gate and is right in contention. SINGING STAR (6) chased CASHAWAY GOLD all the way last start at Taree, getting within a length on the line. Honest mare who will be finishing off again. CAPITAL DANCER (8) has a strong record here at this specialist journey and cannot be ruled out.

Second-up. First-up after 10 months favourite; won by 0.9 len at Taree Cl3 Bm66 February 13 over 1007m on a rain affected track defeating Singing Star carrying 58.5kg at $2.60. Previously second-up favourite; won by a neck at Quirindi Cl1 April 29 over 1000m in soft going defeating Sorrento Palace with 58kg at $1.60. Has really come of age and another win is not out of the question.

Most recently couldn't go on with it; ran last of 9 at this track Cond Bm68 on February 14 over 1250m, 12 len behind Il Passero with 56.5kg at $26. The start before that sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 8 at Canterbury Cg&E Bm72 on January 30 over 1250m, 12 len behind Watson carrying 53.5kg at $61. Expect improvement today. Wait until he shows something more positive.

Most recently rolled along in front then was edged out late 3rd of 7 at Beaumont (Newcastle) F&M Bm58 on February 16 over 1150m, 1.0 len behind Trounce with 62.5kg at $4.20. The run before that won by 1.0 len at Moruya Bm58 January 23 over 1010m defeating Winning Emotions with 58.5kg at $4.20. Can cross to lead from the wide alley and will be hard to catch.

Last start 9th of 12 at Port Macquarie Bm74 on February 8 over 1106m, 5 len behind Pony Soprano carrying 57.5kg at $13. The race before that ran on from midfield and won by 0.6 len at Port Macquarie Bm66 January 23 over 1100m on a rain affected track defeating Pratt carrying 59.5kg at $15. Too unreliable.

Second run back. First-up after 11 months raced on the pace before fading ran last of 10 at this track Bm64 on February 14 over 900m, 7 len behind One Destiny with 57kg at $71.
