OVERVIEW

This is the first inaugural running of Racing NSW’s newest race – The Hunter. With $1 million up for grabs there is a quality line up for the race which headlines one of the rare Newcastle Saturday feature meetings. With a bit of class injected into the Provincial meeting the day and race both look set to be a cracker.

SPEED MAP

Race pace should be more than genuine here with a number of frontrunning types engaged. Maybe we will see any one of Savatiano, Manicure, Goodfella or Sir Plush take on the lead, or perhaps we see a speed battle up front which sets it up for one of the backmarkers such as Brave Song, Tactical Advantage or Fiesta.

KEY RUNNERS

  1. LE ROMAIN ($10)

Talented horse who although is starting to get on a bit (in regard to his age) has still been racing well. Last start finished within a length of the supremely talented Pierata in the Redzel Stakes over this distance which is great form for this race. No doubt this is a target race with such good prize money on offer and has a distinct class edge over most of this field.

  1. GRAFF ($3.60)

Another runner who holds a recent defeat to the talented Pierata, this was at Group 2 level at Randwick over 1100m however. I’m confident the 1300m should pose no issues to the Lees trained runner who has been racing well without winning this prep at Group 2/3 level. Looks a deserving favourite here and no knock.

  1. TACTICAL ADVANTAGE ($9.50)

Tactical advantage is an intriguing runner who could get the race run to suit should there be a speed battle up front. He is coming off a strong 1.5L victory at Listed grade over Holbien but prior to that was racing at Group 1/2 level and finishing only a few lengths away from the winner. The endless Newcastle straight should play favourably for him and he can feature in the finish.

BLUEY’S PICK

  1. LE ROMAIN ($10)

Was impressed by his first up run behind Pierata in the Redzel Stakes and he looks set for this race. 1300m can be a tricky distance but he has shown that he can run well over a range of distances. Should take improvement 2nd up and
