Newcastle Race 7 - Hunter Signs 3yo Pace
ISLAND MANDALAY (6) has joined Jarrod Alchin since he last raced seven-and-a-half weeks ago and has been readied with two nice trials at Menangle, winning the latest. Could make an immediate impact for the new yard. NOTHING FINER (5) enjoyed the return to this row when he led from a similar barrier and scored in a 1720m race at Penrith last start, arriving 7 metres ahead of his rivals. Has a decent record here so could go back-to-back. MODERN MISCHIEF (4) drops in grade off a Breeders Challenge heat and did put together a string of seconds here earlier in the campaign. Expect him to be prominent. GOT MY EYE ON YOU (7) will be fitter for two starts off a spell so could show more.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 17 m by Captains Delight (1:53.60) in 3yo on October 2 at $71. Before that, 6th (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track was 7th-13.14 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Rumour Stride (1:53.90) in 3yo on September 25 at $61. Should be at peak fitness now and can feature off the inside draw.

Two runs back was well back in the run when 8th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 21 m by Dublin City Rambla (1:55.90) in 3yo on August 14 at $126. Can improve but this appears a bit rich.

Gave plenty of ground last start when well beaten into ninth after a quick start, behind Ready To Dream at Riverina Paceway over 1740m on August 14 at $4.20. Performed better the start before with a good run when 2nd (Fr6) over 1740m after racing wide at Riverina Paceway, at the bell was leading 4.3 beaten 1.2 m by Fully Reckless (2:06.30) on August 7 at $9. Trialling well so can make an immediate impact for the new yard.
