Newcastle Race 4

Stake: $51,660

In a moderate maiden INTENSE DREAM (6) gets her chance on debut. By Bivouac from an imported mare. Has trialled three times and won them all, the two most recent in very convincing style. Looks good enough to take care of this field. THORSTEN (2) settled handy then battled on well albeit beaten comfortably into third when resuming over 1000m at Kembla last start. Lightly raced four-year-old who should benefit greatly from that hit-out. Ciaron Maher-trained filly WILD COURAGE (9) is back from a 19-week spell. Opened the maiden campaign with a placing over this course and distance, coming from last in a small field. Two recent trials should have her up to the mark. LADY TALEA (7) has raced here at 900m three times for three placings. Must come into calculations.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Not raced for 58 days. First-up 5th of 10 in a Super Mdn-Sw at Wyong on July 23 over 1000m, slow going 2.25 len behind Ballet Encore carrying 55kg at $2.90. Last start ran last in a small field in a Super Mdn at Gosford on August 6 over 1100m, 4 len behind Count Du Money carrying 55.5kg at $14. Draws the fence and strips fitter so worth considering.
