Newcastle Race 1 - Davali Yearlings @ Classic Plate (C1)
BLUEBIRD BAY (1) is an improving gelding who should start to hit his straps now as he gets out to his right trip. Stalked the speed when a fighting third over 1900m at Newcastle. Reece Jones sticks and expected to play a leading role. GOLDEN SMILE (4) big improver at her second run back when a tenacious on-pace second over 1900m at Newcastle. Has further upside to come and shapes as the main danger from the sticky draw. CALZINO (3) relished the extra ground when he picked them up effortlessly for a solid Maiden win over 1750m at Muswellbrook. Winning apprentice sticks and not to be underestimated. DEZIGNATION (8) is having his third career start and gives the impression he's looking for this distance range and further. Can race a little closer from the draw and take a hand in the finish.

Recent form sound. Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at Newcastle Cl1-Sw on November 30 over 1900m, 2.75 len behind Doradus with 59kg at $2.80. The run before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 13 at Scone Cl1-Sw on November 18 over 1600m, neck behind Mount Bona with 59kg at $5.50. Well placed. Thereabouts of late and doesn't have to improve much to win this.

At the latest run 5th of 8 at Tuncurry Cl1-Sw on December 8 over 1600m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Navy Buoy with 59kg at $31. The race before that second last of 9 at Scone Bm58 on November 18 over 2200m, 9 len behind Dipierdomenico with 58kg at $31. Unreliable and needs to do more.

Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Grafton Mdn on November 30 over 1720m, head behind Mahuika Maroi carrying 59kg at $6. The run before that came from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Muswellbrook Ctry Mdn on November 2 over 1500m, slow going nose behind Heapy's Legacy with 59kg at $2.60. Tough task ahead this time.

Most recently second last in a small field at this track Cl1-Sw on December 6 over 2100m, 9 len behind Shadashi carrying 54.5kg at $31. Before that 7th of 10 at Muswellbrook Mdn on November 28 over 1750m, 4.5 len behind Calzino with 53kg at $101. Comes into this in ordinary form. Prefer others.

Had two starts to date. At very long odds at debut, 11th of 14 at Scone Mdn-Sw on November 18 over 1400m, 5 len behind Crathie Kirk with 57.5kg at $51. Second-up 5th of 9 at Canberra Cl1-Sw on December 5 over 1600m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind De Louviere carrying 55.5kg at $21. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is capable of running a bold race.
