Newcastle Race 2 - Davali Thoroughbreds Mdn Plate
CELESTIAL GRACE (7) had genuine excuses from the poor draw at latest when a tiring tenth over 1300m at Canberra. Gets a better set-up for this fourth-up and look for to savage the line. CHISATO (8) resumes after she failed to fire in her first campaign. Looks ready to go after the two excellent trials and ticks a few boxes from the inside draw. LOBBYIST (11) showed a ton of grit first-up with a fighting second over 1200m at Tamworth. Strips fitter and and no surprise to see her figure prominently. BUNDORAN (1) on the quick back-up after going under narrowly as fav when third over 1100m at Armidale. Can slide across from the wide gate and take a had in the finish.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last preparation second last of 7 at Muswellbrook Ctry Mdn July 27 over 1280m, on rain affected going; 6 len behind Snap Decision with 56.5kg at $15. On debut sixth of 10 at Muswellbrook 3yo+ Mdn-Sw July 8 over 1000m, soft track; 3.5 len behind Echelon with 57kg at $31. Might be better off following this outing.

Last start sat on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 10 at Canberra Mdn-Sw on March 8 over 1300m, slow going 13 len behind Your Chilli carrying 56.5kg at $41. The start before that came from midfield; 2nd of 8 at Goulburn Mdn on February 12 over 1100m, 1.4 len behind Interro carrying 56.5kg at $9. Shapes as a key runner fourth-up from the better gate.
