GOING: G

Newcastleracecourse.Com.Au Mdn 1250m

Track: SOFT 5   Partly Cloudy   Rail: True.  

Two-year-old field to commence proceedings so expect some solid tempo out in front. SIEGE OF QUEBEC has won each of his three trials, the latest over 800m at Kembla Grange. Is a full brother to the dual Group 1 placed Bull Point. Worth plenty of thought. SEINE NET was solid enough on debut at Warwick Farm over 1200m. Will have derived improvement from the outing and can build on the effort back to provincial level. Seige of Quebec is expected to burn turf from a wide gate, but Godolphin's SEINE NET can hold the lead from the better draw and looks the one to beat. Showed early pace on debut over 1200m at Warwick Farm but tired in the final stages on a heavy track to miss a place. Will derive great benefit from that run and won't find this assignment as difficult. Fastnet Rock colt SEIGE OF QUEBEC is an interesting first starter from the Waterhouse/Bott stable. Has trialled on three occasions and won each time. Full brother to prolific black type placegetter Bull Point - this fellow looks to have picked up some of his sibling's talent. The top pick's stablemate SEDITION was three-wide and shuffled back in the field at Sandown first up over 1200m, making no impression after the torrid run early. Has been kept fresh for this and a sound recent trial suggests he is ready to produce. The final Godolphin runner in INTUITION went well first up and will be a factor. SUGGESTED PLAY: Happy to go wide and play multiples with Siege Of Quebec, Seine Net, Play and Almighty.
