GOING: S(5)

MIDWAY HANDICAP 1300m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.35)  

Byron is expected to lead at a keen tempo. LADY ICHIKAWA (8) won her maiden two runs back then ran on powerfully to just arrive in time in a Class 1 over 1200m at Newcastle last start. Lightly raced mare who is putting it all together now. Maps nicely behind a strong tempo and with the light weight can easily chalk up the hat trick. MONTE SUPREME (7) went back from a wide alley and was left with too much to do in a Midway over 1200m at Randwick a fortnight ago. Finally draws a decent gate and over this slightly longer trip she poses a genuine threat. DIRECT FIRE (10) just missed when resuming over 1200m at Kembla recently. Awkwardly drawn but strips fitter and should be thereabouts. CONRAD (1) never got out last start at Randwick so forget the result. Ready to find form at the third run back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lady Ichikawa each-way.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming 7th of 9 at Port Macquarie Sprint Bm94 on October 11 over 1200m, 5 len behind The Face carrying 60.5kg at $5. Second-up sat on the pace before fading 10th of 14 at Randwick Midway Bm72 on October 26 over 1200m, 4 len behind Mad Darcey carrying 58kg at $26. Fitter now and good enough to test this field.

Previously second-up 5th of 12 at this track F&M Bm78 on June 29 over 1400m, on a wet track; 1.3 len behind Anagain with 58kg at $5. Kept fresh and should be far more effective this time.

Comes here off a 33-day let-up. Last start faded in the straight ran last of 7 at Warwick Farm 5yo+ Bm72 on October 7 over 1400m, 6 len behind Sir Artie carrying 56.5kg at $6. The start before that led to the turn then faded 6th of 12 at Randwick Midway Bm72 on September 7 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Northern Eyes with 56kg at $8. Capable of sharp improvement.

Racing well. Most recently ran on from midfield and won by a head at Newcastle Mid Cl1 October 19 over 1200m on a rain affected track defeating Trafalgar Square with 56.5kg at $4. The run before that won by 1.2 len at Newcastle Prov Mdn-Sw October 1 over 1250m on a soft track defeating Jared with 57kg at $1.90. Flying at present and gets the right race to achieve the hat trick.
