Newcastle Race 5 - Dailey Family Funerals Midway Hcp (C1)
SLANDER (4) went under narrowly on debut last May and resumed with a gritty on pave win over 1150m at Illawarra Grange. On the up and gets an even better set-up on the home track. Go close. LAWLESS LUCY (2) resumes after running into a couple of handy types in the first prep. Fitted with the two trials and expect to see her a little closer in the run from the rails draw. MERCANTILIST (6) third up for this and can run a much better race after she came out quickly from the wide gate before folding up in the straight to run seventh over 1200m at Illawarra Grange. Anywhere near her best can win this from the right gate. PRINCE DE VEGA (7) tough ask second up when he jumped in trip to finish a plugging fourth over 1413m at Taree. Tongue-tie comes off and place best over this trip.

Second-up. Promising on debut tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 10 in a 2yo Mdn-Sw at Hawkesbury on May 14 over 1100m, on a slow track; neck behind Dashing Splendour with 57kg at $3.20. Returned from break favourite; won by a long-neck in a Prov Mdn at Illawarra Grange on September 17 over 1150m defeating Areesea with 58.5kg at $1.75. Smart colt who shapes as one of the hardest to beat again.

Second run back. First-up after eight months 9th of 11 in a Cl1 at Wyong on September 4 over 1100m, 7 len behind Cosmic Order carrying 54kg at $151. Previously second-up 4th in a small field in a F&M Cl1 at Gosford on July 19 2025 over 1200m, slow going 3 len behind Tonkatsu Goddess with 55kg at $101. That run was a bit plain so prefer her later on.
