Newcastle Race 6 - A-Plus Contracting & Poly Welding Provincial Hcp (C1)
LUTETIA (1) all three runs in town have been excellent this prep and she finds her race in this weaker contest. Chased right to the line when second to Battle Hymn over 1200m at Canterbury. Fitted with a tick over trial since at Muswellbrook and looks too good for these. PIPERITA (2) enjoyed getting her toe into the heavy (8) conditions on resumption when a soft winner over 1300m at Wyong. Clearly come back well and looks set for a good prep. CHANNELLING (3) comes out of a decent race after shedding her maiden tag when scoring over 1400m at Kembla Grange. Maps well again with the claim and can add value to the exotics. DIVINE BENE (4) first-up after nine months scored a slick win as fav over 1150m at Beaumont (Newcastle) on a heavy track. Big drop in weight with the claim and gets his chance again.

Second run back. First-up after seven months favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 0.7 len at Wyong Mid Mdn March 12 over 1300m in heavy going defeating Empusa with 55.5kg at $1.70. Previously second-up 7th of 11 at Warwick Farm Super 3yo Mdn on September 4 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind El Castello with 54kg at $41. Still has scope for improvement and is sure to measure up.

First-up. Finished off last preparation third of 11 at Scone Bm58 October 25 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind King's Duty with 56kg at $6.50. First up last campaign second of 7 at Tuncurry Mdn-Sw August 9 over 1005m, soft track; 2.5 len behind Lulo Rose with 55kg at $3.30. No shock to see her surprise fresh.

Comes here off a 31-day let-up. Last start 3rd of 9 at Tuncurry Bm50 on March 1 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Robarge with 59kg at $4.20. The race before that 4th of 7 at Taree Cl1 on February 9 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Pelette with 57kg at $15. Will not find this easy. Looks one of the long shots.

Most recently 3rd in a small field at this track Prov Cl1 on March 20 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Presides carrying 53.5kg at $20. The race before that eased back early on 6th of 10 at Gosford Bm64 on February 22 over 1100m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Stratafy carrying 52kg at $61. Not far away last start. Minor money hope.
