Newcastle Race 3 - Women In Scrap Provincial Mdn Plate
RUSTEMO (8) continued his frustrating run of minor placings last start, chasing hard but unable to match a short-priced favourite over 1350m at Wyong. Freshened up and draws the fence so he should race handy and prove tough to hold out. Plenty of unraced runners line up, with the pick of them being FIREY TRUTH (3) from the Kris Lees stable. Early trial form was poor but the latest after a gelding procedure was far better. One to monitor closely in the betting. FUNSHOW (4) is a debutant from the Nathan Doyle yard. Two recent trials at Gosford have been impressive. Looks to have his share of talent. BOBBY (2) got going late at Scone last start and will appreciate the extra 200m this afternoon. I Am Invincible gelding VALERO (9) is another first starter from the Nathan Doyle yard. Respect any positive market moves.

Three-year-old gelding making debut by Cosmic Force out of Miss Marilyn. Purchased for AUD $ 55,000 (Inglis 2023 Australian Weanling Sale). Won a barrier trial at Gosford over 800m November 25 then followed up with a Was second in a 1000m trial on December 9 at Gosford. Hails from the strong juvenile stable of Nathan Doyle so keep him safe.

Dual acceptor. Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old gelding by Maurice out of Brazilica purchased for AUD $ 110,000 (Magic Millions 2024 Gold Coast Yearling Sale). At the most recent trial finished seventh on December 9 at Gosford over 1000m. Watch for any market moves.

Dual acceptor. Recent form sound. Comes off a 30 day let-up. At the latest run 2nd of 9 at Wyong Prov Mdn-Sw on November 26 over 1350m, 2 len behind I Am Carrot carrying 57.5kg at $4.40. Before that sat on the pace when 2nd of 8 at Kempsey Super Mdn on November 7 over 1450m, 1.0 len behind Russian Escape with 59kg at $1.70. Keeps performing well without winning - should be going one better this time.
