Newcastle Race 6 - Sharp Office Newcastle Gold Cup (G3)
ROYAL SUPREMACY (4) has now settled in beautifully for Ciaron Maher since coming from the UK. Worked home steadily to just prevail over 2000m at Wyong five weeks ago. Placed in three of three Group races contested in England. Nicely in 1.5kgs over the limit and looks the one to beat again. SOUL OF SPAIN (9) is another import firing on all cylinders. Made it two-from-two this prep when he bolted in over 2020m at Doomben. Facing a stiff test for the first time since coming here but trust Waller's judgment. BELVEDERE BOYS (3) was 37 days between runs when a closing second in the Group 3 Premier's Cup over 2000m at Randwick last time out. Fitter and capable of testing a field of this quality. TRAVOLTA (7) missed the bus when second as hot favourite in the Tatts Cup recently. Promising stayer who can easily set the record straight here. WYCLIF (2) hasn't hit form yet this prep but did run second in the 2024 Newcastle Cup so a better run will not surprise.

At the latest run 2nd of 7 at Randwick in the G3 Premiers Cup on August 23 over 2000m, on a wet track; 2.5 len behind Nellie Leylax carrying 55kg at $9. The race before that second last of 12 at Grafton in the LR Grafton Cup on July 17 over 2350m, 7 len behind Don Diego De Vega with 59kg at $5. Cherry ripe and good enough to test this field.

Chasing a hat-trick. Returns from a 33-day let-up. Last start favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.5 len at Wyong Wyong Cup Prel August 17 over 2000m in heavy going defeating Sly Boots with 56kg at $1.55. Before that favourite; won by 0.5 len at Randwick Bm88 July 12 over 1800m in soft going defeating Canberra Legend with 58.5kg at $19. Going from strength to strength and is a chance again despite the class rise.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at Randwick in the LR C-Tatts Cup on September 6 over 2400m, 0.9 len behind Changingoftheguard with 53kg at $1.70. Before that favourite; won by 1.2 len at Rosehill Bm78 August 30 over 2000m in soft going defeating She's Unusual with 59.5kg at $6.50. Left with too much to do last time - can repay supporters.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up favourite; won by 0.5 len at Ipswich Cl5 August 20 over 1680m on a rain affected track defeating Sporting Chance carrying 59kg at $2.40. Last start favourite; scored a big 3.5 len win at Doomben Hcp September 6 over 2020m defeating Age Of Kings carrying 52.5kg at $1.65. In form and certainly worth following up.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 4th of 8 at Wyong in the LR Wyong Cup on September 5 over 2100m, 3 len behind Saltcoats with 54kg at $51. The race before that ran on from midfield and won by 4.5 len at Narromine Narromcup Bm87 August 24 over 1600m in soft going defeating Rajnish with 61.5kg at $6. This looks out of reach.

Last start held ground to the line 3rd of 10 at Doomben Bm78 on September 6 over 2200m, 1.5 len behind Piggyback with 55.5kg at $3.70. The run before that 3rd of 10 at Rosehill Bm78 on August 16 over 1900m, in the wet; 2 len behind Amusing carrying 55kg at $9.50. Consistent stayer who is worth each-way consideration.
