Talking of trials, Bobby Is King minimize a advantageous determine successful his Wyong warmth on that very same day – simply, because it occurs. Has expertise. Simply Shane went an entire higher on his trial than a fifth of six would counsel. May very well be the unique worth.
Guess: Spirit Of Storm to win, field trifecta 1, 2, 3

Emmadella is a lightly-raced and helpful sufficient mare from the John Thompson steady. The daughter of All Too Exhausting has a win, a second, a 3rd and a Warwick Farm fourth on the C.V so plainly, she hasn’t performed a lot mistaken. Relating to her final begin at Wyong, she simply didn’t actually deal with the tight circuit however nonetheless went effectively nonetheless. Boominartie, a former Victorian from the Maher/Eustace steady set the scene for a daring run right here for Kristen Buchanan when an attention grabbing second in a current Wyong warmth. Exhausting Choose is shapes effectively on Sunday.
Guess: Emmadella to win
RACE 5
Rapbidash is unbeaten in her two begins and fairly frankly, you wouldn’t see a greater debut win than what she delivered at Muswellbrook again in late Could. Not lots of them win the Class 1 straight after however she did and was powerful too. Spelled, trialled twice and the one phrase for the November 13 warmth win is – wow. Rocstar Boy, the nice grandson of Alinghi, has some compelling numbers to win this. All three wins are at this journey. On prime of that, he races particularly effectively at Newcastle which actually fits his swooping sample. Wealthy And Shameless gasoline a questionable first-up report however the trials are good.
Guess: Rapbidash to win, exacta 5 to beat 2, Each day Double 1st leg (5), 2nd leg (13)
RACE 6
Magnatear might probably present Sam Kavanagh with a double on the day (from his solely two runners).

Guess: Magnatear to win, quinella 1, 2
RACE 7
Our Uptown Lady has only one solitary inserting from 4 begins however she is doubtless extra gifted than that. She had real excuses at Wyong final begin, first off, barrier 9 didn’t assist, regardless that she goes again anyway. Make sure that she’s going to recognize racing at Newcastle an entire lot greater than Wyong. John Sargent had two on this however settled on working Burgundy Bubbles alone which is a lead of kinds. He’s one other a kind of horses the place, in the mean time, his report doesn’t match his capacity, a lot much less his prospects of figuring on the weekend.
Guess: Our Uptown Lady to win
