Newcastle Race 2 - Bottlemart Mdn Plate
COSMIC EAGLE (3) has contested some strong form races of late and was performing well until a mediocre effort last start at the Kensington track. Given a 38-day let-up to clean out the cobwebs. Perfectly drawn and can bounce back in this suitable contest. NATIONAL NEWS (7) is filly by Churchill on debut for Kim Waugh. Won trials at Gosford and Wyong leading into this. Looks smart and could kick off with a win. LADY LONSDALE (6) was inexplicably poor at Rosehill most recently after an encouraging first-up effort at the Caulfield Heath. Worth another chance. ROYAL BOTANIC (8) closed in good style although never a threat on debut last start at Hawkesbury. Up in trip with blinkers added should see a stronger performance.

Resuming after a six months break. Finished off last preparation fourth in a small field at Wyong Mdn-Sw October 30 over 1625m, 5.5 len behind Sir Loyne carrying 55kg at $26. On debut ninth of 11 at this track F&M Mdn-Sw September 20 over 1250m, 4 len behind Vexxy carrying 55.5kg at $41. Chances enhanced by drawing the fence.

Returns from a 38-day let-up. Last start second last of 7 at Randwick Kensington Super Mdn-Sw on March 25 over 1300m, slow going 7 len behind Metallic Cat with 56.5kg at $10. Before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Canberra Mdn-Sw on March 8 over 1300m, on a slow track; 0.5 len behind Your Chilli with 56.5kg at $4.60. Big chance to make amends while fresh.

Jumped at big odds at debut, eased back early on 3rd in a small field at Wyong Super F&M Mdn on April 16 over 1100m, 6 len behind Champere carrying 58.5kg at $41. Open to plenty of improvement and cannot be underestimated.

Third-up today. Resuming 5th of 11 at Caulfield Heath Mdn-Sw on March 18 over 1200m, 3 len behind Ten Warriors with 57kg at $21. Second-up eased back early on 6th of 10 at Rosehill 3yo+ MDN-Sw on April 6 over 1400m, slow going 11 len behind Blitzgal with 56.5kg at $17. Can improve. Back in grade and is good enough to take this out.

Kim Waugh trained three-year-old filly lining up for first race start. Scored in a recent Wyong trial. Inside barrier will assist chances. Looks smart and any market push must be respected.

At debut, 4th of 10 at Hawkesbury Prov Mdn-Sw on April 14 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Peleus carrying 56.5kg at $6.50. Better for that experience and might benefit from the addition of blinkers.
