Newcastle Race 1 - Drinkwise (Bm66)
QUESTIONABLE (7) brings the strongest winning profile to the race after scoring at Dubbo as an odds-on favourite last start. Her overall record at around 2100m is the strongest guide in this field. She rises from BM58 grade and meets stronger company, but two wins and a placing from three tries around this trip give her the right platform. HUSSY LA VISTA (5) is the main danger after finishing only just over a length from Marsabit at Wagga, with her Cootamundra Class 1 win two back showing she is holding form. Little between this pair in early markets which is an accurate read of the race. ASTROGAZER (6) has been competitive in soft-ground BM58 races and gets meaningful weight relief, though 2100m is new territory. Each-way claims. D'ORO CHOICE (3) has been slow away at both runs this campaign but kept finding the line, and his record around 2100m makes him a genuine contender. Last start winner SOUND AND VISION (2) is one for the exotics only.

Worked home evenly when fifth in a BM74 over 1600m at Queanbeyan, beaten just over four lengths after being unwanted in the market. The start prior he was fourth in an Open at Tamworth but never quickened after beginning awkwardly. Others make more appeal.

Lifted late to win a BM58 at Grafton by a nose from Sun Topaze on soft ground, which was a useful turnaround after failing to make ground in a BM82 at Port Macquarie. He rises in grade from that latest win and has an outside draw, but Olivia Dalton has a good record on him and the gelding is proven around this distance. The class rise tempers the win claim, but he is worth including in exotics.

Charged home after beginning slowly when fifth in a BM58 over 1800m at Port Macquarie, beaten just under four lengths by Prince Is Game. He had also made late ground for third in an Open at Tamworth after another slow beginning, so the pattern is clear. Rock hard fit at the third run back.

Had a genuine excuse when last at Muswellbrook, racing wide throughout before weakening to be beaten just under eight lengths. Even so, he had been beaten seven and a half lengths there the start prior at long odds, so recent form remains thin. Has to improve sharply.

Was close enough at Wagga last start and finished sixth, beaten just over a length, with late interference noted by stewards. That followed a narrow Class 1 win at Cootamundra where she was well-supported favourite and beat Sammaan City after travelling kindly. Major danger on the back of that form.

Finished fifth in a BM58 at Nowra last start, beaten just over two lengths as one near the top of betting, after a solid second to Cha Cha Cha at Goulburn on soft ground. He gets clear weight relief from that latest run and handles rain-affected going, but the rise to 2100m is his first try at the distance. The first try at 2100m is the query but cannot be underestimated.

Comes off a firm Dubbo BM58 win where she was sent out an odds-on favourite and beat Godwits by a length and a half. The prior third at Dubbo was also sound despite being bumped early and steadied, and her season record shows two wins and two placings from five starts. Brings the most convincing winning case.

Picked up nicely from the rear when fifth at Muswellbrook last start, beaten three and a half lengths by Wandjad despite being unwanted in the market. His previous run there was less encouraging, finishing sixth and beaten five lengths at long odds. New trip the obvious concern.
