Newcastle Race 3 - Roflow Dust & Fume Lev Systems Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

THE CURSOR (1) opened his account around this kind of journey at Doncaster nine-months-ago and has since been gelded. Major player first-up. NEW YORK MINUTE (2) made it three from seven on the AW when a neck winner on first outing for the Joey Ramsden stable at Southwell. Third of six returning from a short break at the same venue in latest. Feared. MACHETE (3) has only missed the frame once from five attempts at the track. Now back to his last winning mark. Key threat with the in-form Daniel Tudhope on board. HAVACHOC (6) gained his third AW success securing a 1.25L triumph at this circuit in February. Thereabouts.

Resumes after a break of nine months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation to post a big 3.5 len win. Doncaster July 24 over 2400m defeating Arabian Poet carrying 59kg at $2.20. When resuming last campaign second of 10 at Doncaster March 29 2025 over 2000m, a neck behind Bedouin Prince carrying 60.5kg at $5.50. Expected to be forward enough to run well while fresh as he has done before.

Previously second-up second last in a small field at Goodwood on June 20 over 2400m, 2 len behind String Of Pearls carrying 60kg at $3.80. Fitter and is a leading contender.

Comes here off a 41-day let-up. At the latest run second last of 7 at this track on March 21 over 2500m, 12 len behind Alther Walden carrying 61.5kg at $6.50. The start before that 3rd of 7 at Chelmsford on February 12 over 2800m, 5 len behind Carlton with 63kg at $6. Has ability and is one of the chances.

Most recently 11th of 14 at Musselburgh on April 12 over 2500m, 12 len behind Fast Fred with 60.5kg at $21. Before that won by 2 len at this track March 6 over 2500m defeating Golspie carrying 62.5kg at $5.50. Not a good sign last start so looking elsewhere.
