Newcastle Race 1 - Cleanaway Max Lees Classic
Tricky race with all but one lining up for the first time. The most impressive triallist leading into this is STELLAR AMI (11) from the Waterhouse/Bott camp. Has only been produced once and scored with ease at Warwick Farm. Clearly the one to beat if she brings that performance level to race day. Kris Lees would dearly love to win the race named in his late father's honour and he has a chance with first starter BRONZE LION (1) who took out a Gosford trial on 28 October. Draws the fence which always helps. Ciaron Maher's contingent is headed by LUCKY LAKOTA (10) who was runner-up in a Rosehill trial on 4 November. Should get every chance from gate three. Another Lees runner in INSIDE PERFECTION (9) finished 0.6 lengths behind stablemate BRONZE LION at her only trial. Should be thereabouts on that evidence. TOYTOWN (5) won a recent Hawkesbury trial and looks a decent type for the Widdup stable.

Dual acceptor. Kris Lees trained two-year-old colt lining up for first race start. Won a recent trial at Gosford. Good draw will assist chances. Should give a good account.

Colt by Tassort making his first race start. Has looked handy in two trials leading into this. Was runner-up in a trial at Randwick on October 23 over 740m. Should not be underestimated.

Jumped at long odds at debut, led to the turn then faded 6th of 9 in a Kirkham at Randwick on October 24 over 1000m, 5 len behind Exo Velocity carrying 56.5kg at $31. Cannot be ruled out.

Brad Widdup trained two-year-old colt lining up for debut. Looked good in a recent trial win. No surprise to see him in the finish.
