Newcastle Race 5 - Dalton Partners Provincial Hcp (C1)
BONDI BLOSSOM (4) has been beaten just over a length in her two runs this prep, the latest in a similar race to this here 11 days ago. Finished runner-up at her only other third-up run. Gets in with just 53kgs after the claim which might be enough to see her get the cash. Lightly raced filly CRATHIE KIRK (7) made up plenty of ground to finish third when fresh from a spell over 1200m at Port Macquarie last time out. Up in grade but drops 5.5kgs and should relish getting out to this distance for the first time. THE IRON STAR (3) settled worse than midfield before letting down impressively to collect his maiden win over this trip at Hawkesbury recently. Drawn to get a soft run and can compete at this higher level. SHOWTIME SHADOW (1) has been very good at all three runs this prep, the latest outing a narrow defeat over 1350m at Wyong. Hitting the line well so a bit more ground on a bigger track looks perfect. MCADAM (2) is ready to show some form third-up over a more suitable journey.

Form hard to fault. Most recently came from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Wyong Prov Cl1 on March 28 over 1350m, on a slow track; neck behind Olivia Twist carrying 57kg at $1.55. Before that 3rd of 9 at Hawkesbury Cl1 on March 7 over 1300m, slow going 1.2 len behind Seastraand carrying 56.5kg at $6.50. Rock hard fit and is one of the better chances.

At the latest run won by 0.5 len at Hawkesbury 4yo+ Mdn-Sw March 17 over 1500m defeating Derry City Felix carrying 59kg at $3.20. The start before that 5th of 8 at Kembla Grange Mid Mdn on February 24 over 1500m, 3.5 len behind El Qasabi carrying 57kg at $7.50. Facing a stiffer test this time but looks up to the task.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at this track Prov Bm64 on March 12 over 1400m, 1.3 len behind Benamera with 55.5kg at $11. Second run from a spell raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at this track Cl1 on March 31 over 1500m, 1.2 len behind Is It Spectacular with 56kg at $15. Fitter now and she is nicely treated after Small's claim.
