Newcastle Race 3

Prize Money: $42,000

SAMAKA (7) jumped straight to the lead and looked the winner until claimed late on debut over 1300m at Canberra. Started at $1.70 that day so he is held in high esteem. Should give them something to catch again today. Kris Lees took HARRYBEGOOD (12) to town for his second race start 17 days ago and he did a reasonable job in finishing fifth over 1100m at the Kensington track, making good late ground. Well in after Stanley's claim and looms as a genuine threat. TUSCANY (9) returned from a six-month spell as a $1.26 pop but was no match for the winner at the end of 1150m at the Beaumont track. Has been disappointing but is open to improvement at the second run back. ADENAUER (1) has not been produced since a modest effort on debut at Canterbury in November. Easier task today so don't rule him out. WORLD WIDE (10) did a good job to fill a placing at massive odds on debut at the Kenso. Might need further but gets a soft run from gate one and will be finishing off.

Second-up. First-up after six months 2nd in a small field at Beaumont (Newcastle) Cge Mdn-Sw on March 23 over 1150m, slow going 1.75 len behind Newy with 58.5kg at $1.26. Previously second-up 2nd of 8 at Hawkesbury Mdn on August 12 over 1100m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Ohope carrying 57.5kg at $2.15. Expensive yearling yet to live up to expectations but this looks a nice assignment.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at Randwick Kensington Super Mdn-Sw on March 25 over 1300m, slow going 4.5 len behind Metallic Cat with 58.5kg at $81. Will derive great benefit from that experience and looks a solid top three chance again.

Had two starts to date. At debut, 3rd of 11 at Muswellbrook 2yo Hcp on March 8 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Drumfire with 58kg at $21. Last start eased back early on 5th of 10 at Randwick Kensington 2yo C&G Osc on March 25 over 1100m, slow going 4 len behind Under Focus carrying 56.5kg at $23. No surprise to see him break through.
