Race 2 — Central Coast Community News Super Mdn Plate 1200m · jumps Thu 5 Nov, 1:55 pm AEDT

Race preview

Welcome to Gosford for the Central Coast Community News Super Mdn Plate over 1200m on a good 4 surface with fine weather overhead. The race is set to jump at 1:55 pm AEDT, and the punters have been busy sizing up the form in an intriguing maiden puzzle. Looking at the early win market order, Stonecrest currently holds the mantle as the shortest-priced runner, closely followed by Pearl Of Dubai and Thyme To Go. Right behind that leading trio in the betting are North Counsel and Fizz Wizz, rounding out the early fancies as the track gets ready for action.

Taking a closer look at the form behind those shorter prices, Stonecrest comes in with plenty of stable hype as a hefty purchase and a full brother to a Group 2 winner. Trained by G Waterhouse & A Bott, the colt has looked sharp at the trials, including a recent win on a good 4 at Randwick, and Tim Clark retains the ride for this debut appearance. Meanwhile, Pearl Of Dubai for Peter Snowden brings exposed race form, having battled home into fifth over 1200m at Rosehill first-up before stripping fitter with a handy trial win under the belt. Thyme To Go for the Annabel & Rob Archibald yard is another with solid credentials, resuming here from a 19-week break after showing plenty of promise in earlier preps and tuning up with a smart Muswellbrook trial win.

Down the line in the speed maps, we find early pace drawn across runners like Nights Like This and Thyme To Go stepping from the inside alley, while Pearl Of Dubai and Tennant Creek look to settle on the pace. For those searching for a value angle further down the order, Titan Of Fury brings a middle-distance map profile and caught the eye last time with the fastest overall finishing sectionals, with Mollie Fitzgerald taking the reins. It shapes as a fascinating tactical contest where early track position could prove crucial, and punters will be keen to see how these well-bred juveniles and maidens handle the 1200m test.

Trials (3:0-0-0). Dam unraced. Half brother to Grp 1-placed Stray. Reasonable trial work without threatening and needs to step up on raceday. Watch markets.

ILB

Jim Lee & Greg Lee 5yo by Your Song having first race start. Has not placed in all barrier trials. Watch the market moves.

Already gelded; related to 7f winner Stray; first start for this son of Your Song; warrants respect.

First-up (16-weeks). Brought on with two trial hitouts and has placed first-up. Awkwardly drawn this time. Looks more a place prospect.

ILB

First run back after spell. Jumped at $3.20 and showed some merit late when 4th last start at Newcastle but back to a shorter distance.

Not disgraced when fourth at Newcastle in July upped to 1m1f; form has an up and down look to it and yet to open his account after 12 starts; he can be taken on.

RSIS

First run back from break. Started 11/5 and kept chasing when 4th last time at Newcastle but down in distance.

Encouraging debut placing Mdn at Canberra 18 Sep. Settled back and didn't figure at second outing. in the Super Mdn at Scone. All the better, not out of it.

ILB

Started $13.00 and ran 6th last time at Scone. Does take a while to get into stride. Hard to recommend.

Lightly raced with this just his third appearance; fair effort when beaten 4l, finishing sixth of 11 in a handicap at Scone two weeks ago.

RSIS

At 12/1 finished 6th last run at Scone. Might have to make up considerable ground.

Trials (2:0-0-1). Half brother to Headwall. Set for debut now after running on nicely in latest Rosehill trial. In good yard. Look to market for a further guide.

ILB

North Pacific 3yo on debut for Matthew Smith. Placed 3rd in a trial at Rosehill Gardens on Oct 19th. Watch for a sign in the market.

This son of North Pacific is running for the first time; related to Grade 3 winner Headwall; could be hard to beat with signs of encouragement in profile.

Debutant 3yo by North Pacific for trainer Matthew Smith. Finished 3rd in a trial at Rosehill Gardens on Oct 19th.

Trials (4:1-1-1). $650k purchase. Full brother to G2 winner Best of Bordeaux. It's all systems go now for this colt after latest trial win on a good 4 at Randwick. Tim Clark stays aboard for debut. Bears close watching.

ILB

Snitzel 3yo trained by Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott on debut. Winner in a trial at Royal Randwick on Oct 23rd. Respect the betting.

Related to Grade 2 winner Best Of Bordeaux; yard more than capable of readying a newcomer, especially over this sort of distance; sire capable of getting smart offspring; he shouldn't be far away as some good aspects to his profile and the trainer is in good nick.

Kept fresh. No impact in 3 career outings. Ordinary performance in small field at Newcastle for new trainer. Needs to show more.

ILB

Jumped at $101.00 and was well beaten when 7th last run at Newcastle but back to an increased distance. Interesting gear change of blinkers on first time. Looks too tough.

Finished last of seven over 4½f at Newcastle (handicap) on her first start for this trainer last month; lightly raced (this just her fourth race); makes limited appeal.

RSIS

Was 100/1 and faded to finish 7th last start at Newcastle but returns to a longer distance. Interesting gear change of blinkers on first time.

Found the debut assignment beyond him at Hawkesbury as an outsider 15 Oct. Better for it. Has a fair bit to find. Place perhaps.

ILB

Started at $41.00 and weakened under pressure when 6th last time at Hawkesbury but fitter for debut run. Won't be far away during the run. Prefer others.

Ran green when held on her debut at Hawkesbury at 40-1 three weeks ago; will need to progress to get off the mark.

RSIS

At 40/1 faded away to finish 6th last run at Hawkesbury but having second career run. Has shown early pace in races to date.

AAP

Off pace but only battled home to cross the line at Rosehill first up. Strips fitter. Can have a major say.

ILB

Started at $13.00 and finished 5th last run at Rosehill. Giving another chance here and gets a favourable gate. Likely to be well placed early. Major chance.

No impression when fifth of ten (Rosehill) last month; winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at eight; easy to oppose.

RSIS

Was 12/1 and came in 5th last run at Rosehill. Expecting improvement and gets a favourable stall. Has plenty of early pace. Has to be in the finish.

AAP

First-up (19-weeks). Form to date fair. Capable fresh and latest trial work very good. Perfectly placed to make a winning return.

ILB

Fresh after a spell. Did well to run into 3rd last start at Kembla Grange and putting a tidy record together. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Third when 5-6 over 5f at Kembla Grange (maiden) in June; has found improvement of late; returns from a layoff here.

RSIS

Resuming after a break. Finished with intent when 3rd last time at Kembla Grange and drawn by the rails. Expecting to settle positively. Unbeaten in all trials. Will show up at the business end.

Odds correct as at Thu 5 Nov, 2:00 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
