Newcastle Race 1 - Dailey Family Funerals Mdn Plate
PLUME (4) debut performance had merit when a close-up fourth at Kembla Grange. At the latest run she engaged in an early speed battle with a tiring fifth over 1000m at Kembla Grange. Should handle the sting out of the ground in what looks a very average contest. THE WAY AHEAD (5) fourth-up for this and shapes as the main danger from the low draw. Covered a stack of ground early from the wide gate with a fading third over 1000m at Kembla Grange after being prominent at the bend. Map suits today and sure to be thereabouts. TWOEXCEL (9) locally trained filly who returns for her second campaign. Expected to have strengthened over the break and the two good trials suggest she's primed for this. Blinkers off and drawn to advantage. BIFURCATION (6) Pariah filly who also comes back for her second prep. Showed ability last September and returns with the good 1000m trial win at Wyong. Don't underestimate.

First starter by Holler out of Corsica's Excuse. Has a total of two trials prior to his debut today. Makes debut at home but prepared to risk this time from an awkward draw.

Second-up did the work up front then tired 5th of 7 at Kembla Grange 4yo+ MDN-Sw on February 17 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Zing To Me with 57kg at $2.80.

Comes here off a 31-day let-up. Last start 3rd in a small field at Muswellbrook Mdn-Sw on February 9 over 900m, on rain affected going; 2 len behind Extraglow with 56.5kg at $51. The race before that led to the turn then faded 6th of 10 at Scone 3yo+ Mdn on January 29 over 900m, 4 len behind St Faith's with 56kg at $151. Worth thought on the latest run.

Second-up. First-up after eight months ran last of 12 at Wyong Prov 2&3yo Mdn on February 26 over 1200m, slow going 10 len behind Master Zous carrying 55.5kg at $151. Previously second-up ran last of 9 at Port Macquarie Mdn-Sw on July 12 over 1110m, slow going 11 len behind Andrea carrying 55kg at $101. Fitter but unlikely to threaten.
