Newcastle Race 3 - Palmieri Legal Chambers Mdn Plate
AETHELWULF (1) returns from a 24-week spell. Raced just once in the maiden prep and did a great job to finish a close second at Goulburn over 1500m, coming from near the tail on straightening. Two recent trials should have him primed to pick up where he left off. AGRAFFE ROCKET (2) started warm favourite when resuming over 1300m at Scone last start but after coming from midfield on the corner found a couple slightly better on the day. Will be tough to resist this time over the slightly longer journey. COOL RUPERT (4) has raced without a great deal of luck in his two runs this prep, the latest over today's trip at Kembla. Very fit now and just needs to find cover from the wide alley to be in the finish. MONOTONE (7) was a bit flat first-up on a heavy track at Hawkesbury. Watch for a sharper performance on firmer ground with blinkers applied. GRIDLOCK (13) caught the eye at Hawkesbury last time and should shine over an extra 300m on a roomier track.
