No. 3 Satin Sernade <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

SATIN SERENADE (3)<\/strong> should get a lovely sit off the speed under Tommy Berry back from a bit of a spell.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The daughter to Frankel has placed in two starts to date at Canterbury and Warwick Farm and has since been given a nice soft trial between starts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The form from her\u00a0previous\u00a0races has held up\u00a0well\u00a0and she looks the clear on top pick here in a field lacking a bit of depth.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No. 5 Perfumist <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

PERFUMIST (5)<\/strong> has\u00a0trialled\u00a0up nicely ahead of her return in the\u00a0Tibbie\u00a0Stakes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She won quite well in her latest heat at Warwick Farm over some good horses and is looking to build on a\u00a0last-start\u00a0win at Wellington to wrap up her autumn prep.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bjorn Baker\u2019s mare gets the winkers off again and typically does some of her best racing first-up with equally good form to her name over\u00a01400m.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Newcastle: Race 7 \u2013 Group 3 Cameron Handicap (1500m) <\/div>\n
No. 12 Mr Miller <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
Tip of The Day<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

MR MILLER (12)<\/strong> is in red-hot form and appears incredibly hard to beat with his sights on a hat-trick.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The wide gate complicates things a little, but he\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0know himself stripping right back to 54kg after obliterating his rivals by a combined 5.5 lengths.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is tougher again up to Group 3 level, but it\u00a0looks\u00a0the next step for him as he continues his rise through the grades.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\n

HOLLYWOOD GOLD (3)<\/strong> has come\u00a0up\u00a0trumps with the inside gate and the apprentice claim in effect.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s\u00a0been around the mark in two recent runs at Newcastle and\u00a0Moree, given a three-week break leading into his latest where he over-raced a little on his way to finishing sixth.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This step up in trip though should suit given he was up sharply to\u00a01400m\u00a0last time out, and\u00a0with a win to his name already over\u00a01500m,\u00a0there\u2019s\u00a0every chance he gives this a real shake.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
