Newcastle Race 1 - Nzb Weanlings 26 June Mdn Hcp
Tough race with plenty of chances. THE WAY AHEAD (5) Headwater filly out of a Snitzel filly on debut for the Matt Smith stable. Won her latest trial by a big space over 789m at Warwick Farm. Goes close from the draw. OAKFIELD MARS (3) filly by Smart Missile from the Damien Lane yard on debut. Stable are having a good run and she's shown a ton of ability in her trials. Goes close. The chances don't end there. SIZZLING BOY (11) resumes with a handy fresh record. Gets in light with the claim and returns without a trial. Adept in all conditions. BEAU BANDIT (1) three-year-old- gelding by Brazen Beau on debut for the Tanya Randell yard. Won a tough Beaumont (Newcastle) trial on March 5. Worth plenty of thought on his home track from the low gate.

Tanya Randell trained three-year-old gelding lining up for first race start. Scored in a recent Beaumont (Newcastle) trial. Inside barrier will assist chances. Worth plenty of thought on his home track.

Filly by Smart Missile facing the starter for the first time. Was runner-up in a trial at Beaumont (Newcastle) on March 5 over 850m. Has a nice gate and expected to play a big role.

At the latest run 4th in a small field at Wyong Mdn-Sw on March 12 over 1000m, in the wet; 5 len behind Shambretta carrying 57kg at $26. The run before that 4th in a small field at Canberra Mdn-Sw on February 21 over 1000m, slow going 2.5 len behind Il Passero with 57kg at $14. Will not find this easy. Unlikely to be playing a role in the finish.

Second run back. First-up after three months 3rd of 8 at this track Mdn on March 20 over 900m, 1.5 len behind Moonlight Gambler carrying 55kg at $26. Previously second-up eased back early on 8th of 10 at Hawkesbury 4yo+ Mdn on December 8 over 1100m, slow going 9 len behind Recruiter with 55kg at $151. Fitter now and worth thought.

Second-up. First start failed to make an impression; ran last of 8 at Randwick in the G3 Brdrs Plte on October 5 over 1000m, 14 len behind King Kirk carrying 56kg at $101. Returned from break ran last of 7 at this track Mdn-Sw on February 1 over 900m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Ocean Joy carrying 56kg at $31. Not keen on his chances.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign ninth of 13 at Taree Super Mdn November 17 over 1250m, soft track; 7 len behind Sheila's Fanta Sea carrying 53kg at $9. Previously first up; third of 7 at Taree Mdn-Sw August 26 over 1005m, soft track; 2.5 len behind Mr Villa carrying 59kg at $3.30. Sprints well fresh and the scratchings bring him into the mix.
