Gosford Race 2

Gosford Rsl Provincial Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $45,000

ABSOLUTIST (2) is a locally trained mare on debut. A rising six-year-old who has obviously had her issues but she looks ready to fire following a big recent trial win. Could not find a weaker race to belatedly launch her career. BASCILICA BABE (10) started favourite but didn't run as hoped at her only appearance to date back in February in Canberra. Recent trial winner who is in a new stable now and might be in for a bright campaign. AVALON (3) finished fourth but a long way from the winner on debut over this trip at Hawkesbury recently. This is many lengths easier so she can bob up without surprising. ATEBA (7) from the Nathan Doyle stable is on debut. Trial form has been impressive. Sure to give a good account. ARREST WARRANT (9) didn't do much first-up but can improve sharply.

Mark Sues-trained five-year-old mare on debut. Impressive winner at her only trial. Can make an immediate impact against this mediocre line-up.

At debut, 4th of 8 at Hawkesbury Mid 3yo+ Mdn on July 2 over 1000m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Spare carrying 57kg at $9. Sure to prove hard to beat in this vastly inferior race.

Returned from break 9th of 11 at Warren Mdn-Sw on June 1 over 1000m, slow going 13 len behind May Be Bubbles with 57kg at $5. Can improve enough to find a spot on the semaphore board.

Second-up. First-up after three months ran last of 7 at Wyong Mdn on July 4 over 1000m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Iced Fury carrying 56kg at $101. Previously second-up ran last in a small field at Wyong 2&3yo Mdn-Sw on April 4 over 1000m, slow going 44 len behind Dingle Grey with 55kg at $91. Plenty of improvement to come.
