Mudgee Race 4 - Ladies Of David J Smith Racing Hcp (C2)
CURRUMBIN ALLEY (3) has returned in solid order this prep but is starting to prove frustrating for punters, going under as favourite in his last two. Peak fitness now, so giving another chance. UNREAL EXPECTATION (2) never stopped trying first-up in stronger company at Bathurst when chasing down a minor placing. Goes up in the weights but strips fitter and loves this trip. Not taking lightly. PROCLIVITY (7) was a barnstorming CL1 winner last start at Tamworth over this trip. Draws to take much closer order this time and can keep the ball rolling. THE CONTRACTOR (5) showed good early dash last start but was no match for an impressive winner at Bathurst. Strips rock-hard fit and draws to be in this for a long way. Shed his maiden tag here in dominant fashion earlier in the prep. Is certainly one to consider.

Second-up. First-up after five months made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 11 at Bathurst Saddle Cl4 on April 25 over 1400m, 3 len behind Wal's Angels carrying 53kg at $4.80. Previously second-up 5th of 9 at Newcastle Cond Bm68 on November 1 over 1500m, on a slow track; 1.2 len behind My Shalom with 56.5kg at $14. Further improvement in store.

Most recently came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 9 at Dubbo Bm58 on April 18 over 1400m, neck behind The Manager carrying 56.5kg at $15. Before that second last of 11 at Stony Creek 0 - 56 on March 8 over 1600m, slow going 10 len behind Hey Bella carrying 59kg at $12. Needs to take another step to compete against these.
