Newcastle Race 3 - Sparke Helmore Mdn Hcp
In a very weak maiden the first starter ARTEVENTO (4) from the Messara/Gavranich camp gets her chance. By Admire Mars from a Choisir mare whose two foals to race have won, with the talented Gentileschi the pick of them. Improved sharply at her second trial. Won't need to be anything special to give this a shake. DALLAS DUKE (1) has raced twice and been in the money on each occasion, most recently finishing third over 1000m at Coffs Harbour after racing on the pace throughout. Needs to go an extra 250m today but on exposed form he is the pick of the bunch. ZENSEN (3) went keenly last time out at Kembla when stepping up in trip from 1000m to 1400m and consequently dropped out. Worth one more chance coming back a little in trip. MOBILISE (8) lined up for the second time last start and appreciated the step up to 1300m when a close fourth at Kembla. Can play a key role. BECHERS (7) is an All Too Hard half-sister to stakes winner Renewal on debut for Team Hawkes. Betting watch advised.

Third race start today. At debut, made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 10 in a Super Mdn-Sw at Wyong on July 23 over 1000m, slow going 1.75 len behind Ballet Encore with 56.5kg at $8. Second-up tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 in a Super Mdn at Coffs Harbour on August 7 over 1000m, on a slow track; 1.0 len behind Greyt Remlap carrying 57.5kg at $2.50. Gets his chance. Up to a provincial maiden now but should measure up again.

Third-up today. First-up raced on the pace before fading ran second last of 8 in a 2yo Mdn-Sw at Kembla Grange on July 16 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Hearts Affair with 57kg at $8.50. Second run from a spell 7th of 12 in a Mid Mdn-Sw at Kembla Grange on August 8 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Green Winter carrying 56.5kg at $5.50. Promising galloper. Should be cherry ripe third-up and in a modest field looks hard to beat.

Three-year-old filly making debut by Admire Mars out of Artefiori. Was second in a Tamworth trial over 1000m August 5. Must respect this stable - betting the key indicator.

Three-year-old filly (Noverre - Underthemoonlight) on debut from the O'Shea/Charlton stable. Unplaced in recent trials and others appear to have her measure.

Raced two times to date. At debut, eased back early on 7th of 11 in a F&M Mdn-Sw at Hawkesbury on July 19 over 1100m, slow going 4.5 len behind Zunesha carrying 54kg at $21. Second-up 4th of 9 in a F&M Mdn at Kembla Grange on August 8 over 1300m, 1.75 len behind Yangzi River carrying 55.5kg at $41. Heading the right way and is a chance against this lot.
