Newcastle Race 3 - Newcastle Skin Check Mdn Hcp
METALLICITY (4) showed early class in two starts last campaign. Handled a heavy track no issue in most recent trial and looks capable of sharp progress this time in. Winning claims. HUON (3) finds a kind draw second up after fighting on well on debut in a competitive city maiden. Up in weight but lots to like getting out to six furlongs. Banking type. BACKROWER (11) looks a keep safe play on debut for the Freedman camp. Competitive in all three trials to date and despite a wide draw could easily bob up. Market watch advised.

Finished off last preparation sixth of 14 (began awkwardly; held up several times; lame) at Grafton 2yo Swp July 8 over 1200m, soft track; 6 len behind Far Too Easy with 57kg at $13.

Four-year-old gelding making debut by Better Than Ready out of La Mamma Rosa. Purchased for AUD $ 130,000 (Magic Millions 2019 Gold Coast Yearling Sale). Second in a 1045m trial on May 2 at Randwick. Clearly has ability so don’t dismiss lightly.

Two-year-old colt (Merchant Navy - Onemorezeta) has trialled on five occasions leading into today's race. Last trial second in a 1000m barrier trial on May 3 at Hawkesbury. Hard to have in this line up.
