Newcastle Race 5 - Insulation Contractors Mdn Stakes (Gbb Race)
ASHEYRA (11) looks to get off the mark at the third attempt having produced two fine performances in defeat at Newmarket and most recently behind an impressive winner at Ascot. Holds every chance on all-weather debut. PRINCELAND (8) disappointed when debuting and now connections fit a first time hood. Should improve plenty off that initial effort and will be a major player. KNIGHTBOLT (7) ran favourably for a big price as a debutante at Thirsk and won't be far away representing a stable in good form during recent weeks. HIGH THRESHOLD (5) wasn't a cheap yearling purchase and has winners throughout the pedigree. Market support would be positive.

Having third race start. At very long odds at debut, didn't do much in the run home; 8th of 11 at Carlisle on August 27 over 1200m, 10 len behind Blazing Inferno with 59kg at $301. Last start ran last of 13 at Beverley on September 16 over 1000m, 10 len behind Woodvale with 59kg at $51. Doesn't look one of the major players.

Third race start today. At debut, raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 7 at Newmarket (July) on August 1 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Spirited Gesture with 58kg at $8. Second-up 2nd in a small field at Ascot on September 5 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Pensando A Te carrying 58kg at $5.50. Close to a win and should prove hard to beat.
