Newcastle Race 7 - The Mighty Hunter Valley Mdn
COUNT ON ME (3) looks headed for longer trips but showed plenty of potential last time in. Close up in two recent wet track trials and snags an all options draw. Lots to like fresh. DUBAI SHOWGIRL (10) is a long time maiden but is racing bravely on wet tracks this time in. Has a fitness edge on most of these and is proven at this trip. Genuine each way threat. GIANCARLO (4) battled away on a very heavy track on debut after some smart trial displays. Strips fitter and well worth another chance back to provincial level.

Resuming. Not seen since he finished awkwardly and failed to handle going; with blinkers first time; ran last of 7 at Canterbury 3yo Mdn November 26 over 1550m, in the wet; 35 len behind El Parmy carrying 57kg at $3.80. On debut second in a small field at this track E&G Mdn Plate October 30 over 1250m, 0.5 len behind Captivare carrying 56.5kg at $12. Definite each-way hope.

Second-up. First start 6th of 12 at Nowra E&G Mdn on December 31 over 1200m, 2 len behind Uncle Al Pal carrying 57.5kg at $15. Went for a spell before returning overraced early, middle stages; 3rd in a small field at Warwick Farm 3yo Mdn on April 27 over 1300m, in the wet; 6 len behind Excelladus carrying 56.5kg at $13. Leading chance with plenty of upside.

Resuming after a four-and-a-half months break. Finished off last preparation hampered near 1000m; fifth of 10 at Beaumont (Newcastle) 3yo+ Mdn December 26 over 2000m, 6 len behind Mamounia carrying 56.5kg at $3.50. On debut seventh of 12 (began awkwardly; overraced early stages; eased near 800m) at Hawkesbury Mdn November 18 over 1300m, 3.5 len behind Canbya with 57.5kg at $21. Look for a bold run.

Went for a break before returning shifted out in straight; 12th of 14 at Muswellbrook Mdn on April 29 over 1280m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Cloudland with 59.5kg at $8.50. Unlikely to threaten.

Form hard to fault. Last start 3rd of 8 at this track Mdn Hcp on April 30 over 1400m, on a wet track; 6 len behind Your Temptation carrying 55.5kg at $2.90.

Right in the mix again.

Form hard to fault. Last start raced three wide; 2nd of 9 at Bathurst Mdn Hcp on April 25 over 1400m, slow going long-neck behind She's Super with 58kg at $3. Before that eased near 1000m; made ground from midfield; with blinkers first time; 2nd of 11 at Canberra Mdn Hcp on April 15 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Mandalong Cash carrying 56kg at $10. Worth thought after getting close last time.
