Newcastle Race 2 - Ellona's Queens Wharf Hotel Punters Club Provincial Hcp (C1)
GREEN WINTER (1) jumped straight to the front and defied all challengers to salute on debut over 1400m at Kembla last start. Big chance he will get an uncontested lead here so a repeat performance is certainly on the cards. Another last start maiden winner in FLYING ARABESQUE (2) looks a threat. Tried over the mile for the first time last Saturday at Kembla and closed a shade too well to get the cash at start four. Can kick on with the confidence growing at each appearance. RIBBLE LACE (3) led for the judge when resuming over 1300m at Hawkesbury recently and tried hard but found one better over the concluding stages. Fitter for that run and is far more at home out to today's journey. GEMTIKI (4) won a maiden two back over 1750m at Hawkesbury then struggled when extended to 2000m last time. Can do better back to this distance. Hard to see the others playing a role in the finish, with SONNIG (5) probably the pick of them.

Most recently ran on from midfield and won by a head at Kembla Grange on August 15 over 1600m defeating Emirate Star with 58kg at $4.40. Before that 5th of 12 in a Mid Mdn-Sw at Kembla Grange on August 8 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Green Winter carrying 59kg at $7. Cherry-ripe and a genuine chance again.

Most recently ran second last in a small field in a Bm64 at Kembla Grange on August 8 over 2000m, 6 len behind Celebrity carrying 53kg at $12. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2 len at Muswellbrook on July 26 over 1750m defeating Honeyhill with 58kg at $2.10. Certainly worth another chance despite coming back in distance.

Dual acceptor. Second-up. First-up after three months ran second last of 9 in a 4yo+ Mdn-Sw at Hawkesbury on August 11 over 1300m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Farfetched with 57kg at $151. Previously second-up ran second last of 11 in a Mid Mdn at this track on April 23 over 1400m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Lawless Lucy with 58kg at $151. That run was a bit plain so prefer him later on.
