Newcastle Race 2 - Dailey Family Funerals Country Boosted Mdn Plate
SUPER VITALITY (10) has the most persuasive form, resuming last start at Tamworth with a fourth beaten a length after being prominent in betting. Best form last prep, a third at Muswellbrook, reads well. He has already placed at around this trip and looks the runner with the clearest winning platform. UNALIENABLE RIGHT (4) was only battling when sixth at Tamworth last start, but his Tuncurry second first-up was a genuine pointer. Can bounce back at the third run of the campaign. THIRTY DEGREES (3) brings the most consistent recent profile with placings in two of three runs this season, though his record at around 1150m is the main reservation. ECHO OF A WHISPER (7) resumes. Last appeared three months back at Muswellbrook - that fourth had merit after she was held up late. Good enough to be competitive. MUST DIAMOND (8) wasn't all that far away on debut last start at Taree and there is plenty of improvement in the locker.

Began slowly on debut at Muswellbrook and finished ninth over 1000m, beaten three and a half lengths after settling rearward and keeping on late. He was at long odds there, so the market did not expect a sharp debut performance. Untried at 1150m, but second-up improvement gives him an each-way hope.

Raced wide throughout at Muswellbrook last week and finished fifth over 900m, beaten five lengths, so there is some reason to be forgiving of the margin. The start prior was plain when seventh at Tamworth, beaten over 15 lengths after being unwanted in the market. Previous Tamworth run was plain but the inside gate today should help.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing second at Armidale over 1300m, beaten just over four lengths after travelling well but tiring late. He had earlier worked home evenly for fourth at Scone on soft ground, beaten just under three lengths. The 1150m record is the query, but he is right in this on best figures.

Was only fair when sixth at Tamworth last start, beaten just under six lengths after sitting close enough and offering no late excuse. The stronger pointer is his Tuncurry second the run prior, where he travelled well and was beaten just over half a length by Heart Of Jenni. Tamworth sixth was plain, but a likely rebound puts him right in the race.

Led at Tamworth last start but weakened to finish second last, beaten just over eight lengths, with only a bump at the start as minor context. His Port Mac fifth beforehand was fair without being threatening, and he was unwanted in betting both times. Third-up now, but he has to find a lot more to trouble these.

Picked up nicely in the straight when fourth at Port Macquarie over 1000m last start, though the beaten margin was still six and a half lengths and she was at long odds. Her previous run at the same venue was a rearward ninth, beaten just over six lengths. Rough place hope only.

Returns from a lengthy spell after being last seen finishing fourth at Muswellbrook, beaten two and a half lengths by Heathcliff, after charging home and being held up late. Her Scone run earlier in that campaign was less convincing after a slow start and keen racing. Lightly raced and should be in for a better prep this time around.

Sat handy but raced wide throughout on debut at Taree and was unbalanced on the home turn before finishing seventh, beaten just under four lengths at long odds. That gives the run more merit than the bare result. Claim helps and the trip holds no fears.

Finished last at Tamworth a fortnight ago, beaten eight and a half lengths, and the run carried no obvious excuse after she held a position near the speed before fading. Her Dubbo fourth first-up was better, but she was still beaten five and a half lengths by Patrika Express. Others bring stronger recent form.

Resumed with a strong pointer at Tamworth, finishing fourth and beaten a length after being near the top of betting on soft ground. His previous placing came in a CG Open at Muswellbrook, which gives him a useful grade reference for a Mdn. Already placed around this trip and looks the one to beat.

Makes her debut with two trials behind her, most recently a Scone second, so there is at least some public evidence of readiness. The Patrick Cleave debut record includes two placings from five starters, which is a useful note rather than a decisive edge. Race-day pressure is the unknown, so she has to prove herself.
