Newcastle Race 2

Sharp Office Hcp (C2)

Prize Money: $27,000

Solid contest with plenty of chances. THEBES (7) resumes without a trial and expected to have furnished further over the break. Came to the end of his prep when a disappointing sixth over 1400m at Newcastle last February 18. Lone victory came at this trip and gets his chance from the good draw. TONKATSU GODDESS (4) big improvement at her second run back when sitting up on the speed for a determined second over 1200m at Newcastle. Ready to win from the inside gate on the firmer surface. AGED CARE (2) trained locally and starting to build a solid winning CV. Kept fresh when demolishing his rivals with the 60.5kg over 1208m at Port Macquarie. In peak form and looks up to this stiffer contest. DIVINE BENE (3) handy gelding starting to put it all together this campaign. Comes out of a very solid contest when third to French Marine over 1200m at Wyong. Undefeated at this track and can take this out.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming 9th of 14 at Scone Cl1 on May 16 over 1100m, slow going 4.5 len behind Shropshire Lad with 57kg at $4.20. Second run from a spell favourite; won by 0.6 len at Port Macquarie Cl1 June 15 over 1208m on a soft track defeating Luck Aplenty with 60.5kg at $1.50. Handy strike-rate and looks hard to beat.

Third-up today. First-up 4th of 7 at Gosford Cl1 on May 29 over 1200m, on heavy track; 4.5 len behind Divine Bene carrying 57kg at $8.50. Second-up gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 8 at Newcastle Cl1 on June 14 over 1200m, on a wet track; 0.8 len behind California Secret with 55kg at $8. Fitter now and expected to be competitive.

Last start second last of 11 at Wyong Mid Bm68 on June 24 over 1300m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Zip On By carrying 55kg at $101. The run before that from last on the turn 9th of 12 at Wyong F&M Bm64 on June 8 over 1200m, slow going 4 len behind Indefensible with 55kg at $151. Has had plenty of chances and needs to do more.
